Overlay.TV: Monetize your videos
Written on February 14, 2008 – 9:31 pm | by admin
Overlay.TV launched today with the aim to help everyone to monetize their videos by making them clickable. Basically, they allow users to stream videos from popular video sharing sites such as YouTube and provide the tool to overlay clickable regions over the frames. When a user clicks the region, the video pauses and he/she is given the option to be taken to another site to make a purchase. Do you like those sunglasses that Britney Spears is wearing? Click on them and be taken to eBay where you can buy your own pair at bargain prices. Will this work? I don’t know but if the technology is easy to use and it doesn’t annoy the users then it might give you another income stream. Probably worth a look. I plan to sign up for an account and give it a try on a couple of my sites. In the meantimes, enjoy their (I have to admit rather entertaining) marketing video shown below.
