In the days that followed, Chad Hely's operations team witnessed BOSS's predictions, as the unexpected popularity of Lazy Sunday could be a big deal for the BV video business, and the team saw and realized the potential of the video business being done in terms of entertainment.

In addition, "Lonelygierl5" continues to tell its own magical story through video podcasts and online video diaries, and so far, this well-planned marketing has not been seen by the outside world.

Of course, it continues, until it is exposed, and of course Chad Hurley hopes that it will never be exposed.

Even if it is debunked, it can be further popular for a period of time, after all, being debunked itself is also a hit.

The operation team continued to work "Lazy Sunday", and the behind-the-scenes team took the initiative to produce a large number of edited videos and upload them to the BV website.

Time passed day by day, traffic continued to accumulate, and on October 21, BV video gained 4 million views per day in this month, which is a daily number of views, and the traffic is still accumulating.

In the first month of the site's launch, there weren't many original videos on the site, but by the second month that things had changed.

Users are uploading original videos more often.

A series of videos of the Boeing 747 taking off and landing by some users, or "paddlers", have been so popular on the site that the BV team has been advertising on Craigslist in Los Angeles and Las Vegas over the past month.

If you upload a video, you can get $20 per video.

But none of the women responded.

But it didn't matter, because the enthusiasm of users to upload original videos surprised the team.

In fact, this is similar to the core of BlueSpace, a social networking site owned by Bluestar Technology, that is, the photo sharing function, but BV is video sharing.

In the eyes of other video sites, the videos on the BV website make many professionals dismiss.

Because the quality is so clumsy.

This is pure nonsense, because the videos on the BV website are basically original videos uploaded by the general public, which is naturally different from some professional shooting, but this is just different from other video websites.

Theoretically, anyone can publish content on the BV video website, and as long as it passes the review, the video uploaded by the user will be stored in the library, which can be watched online by users across the network.

The operations department also spent a lot of money, and in order to enrich the content of the website, Chad Hurley came up with an even crazier idea.

Mainly, the idea is too expensive.

……

October 26, North American Eastern Time, afternoon.

"Even-bought !!"

"The boss agreed?"

"This is crazy, if investors see it, will they be mad?"

"Bandwidth spending is already soaring, operating costs are skyrocketing, and it's still possible to agree to such a crazy proposal?"

At this moment, Monroe Park distributed the BV video project department, and Chen Shijun and Judd's core operation team were stunned.

They never imagined, and even Chad Hurley himself did not expect that Luo Sheng would actually agree to his crazy idea.

Just one late night last weekend, Hurley stayed up until midnight, waiting for the eastern hemisphere to make an emergency call to the company's ultimate boss, Luo Sheng, during the day.

He asked Luo Sheng and proposed that he hope to get a budget of $150 million for the release of the bounty, with the aim of expanding the content of the video site.

Luo Sheng pondered for a few seconds, but it was only a few seconds.

And then agreed!

"Guys, $150 million, $150 million, BOSS wants us to spend all this money reasonably within a month and up to three months." Chad Heli said excitedly.

That's enough to drive all members of the project team crazy.

Chad Heli added: "The BOSS said to me the biggest expectation of the BV project: if you're looking for a video, go to BluestarVideo, if it's not there, it doesn't exist." ”

"So what are you waiting for?"

Next, all 49 team members of the BV project began to brainstorm and enter the development of the liver.

……

Moe De is a pet lover and loves dogs the most, but he doesn't like parrots.

He took in a lot of stray dogs, but as more and more dogs were taken in, the financial burden became heavier and heavier.

Meng De is also a veteran Internet user, and he also has a BS social account, and now in North America, no BlueSpace account is embarrassed to say that he is an old Internet worm.

At the beginning of this year, Meng De began to share a large number of pictures on his personal social networking sites, all of which were about the sharing of dogs.

Every like makes him very happy and is one of the motivations that motivates him to keep sharing new photos.

And one day last month, he accidentally learned about Bluestar Technology's new product, that is, the online video BluestarVideo, through the comments of his page sharing pictures, and some fans who knew about this video site before him suggested that he shoot some videos and upload them to the website.

Meng De was skeptical at first, because he didn't think he had the professional ability to shoot videos, but he opened it driven by curiosity, and unexpectedly found that this video site was very different from the video sharing site he imagined.

The above video shooting is quite unprofessional, some of the videos are full of noise, and the camera shakes very much.

But soon, as if he had found a door to a new world, he found that he could upload videos as he pleased, and it was very simple, of course, waiting for review.

So Moe De tried it once, took a video of about two minutes, and uploaded it.

When users are in BV videos, the videos are all in Flash, and the only thing you need to do to upload videos to the BV website is to click the "upload" button with one click.

It's too simple, and the "fool-like" operation is the basic condition for becoming a hit.

Since uploading the first video, Meng De has not stopped.

Now, in addition to sharing new photos on his BS account every day, he also takes a small video and uploads it to BV, which is very fast and can be seen on the website in three hours.

Today, Meng De turned on the computer and prepared to routinely upload a video to share on BV.

When he opened the web page, a large pop-up ad immediately popped up, almost taking up the entire screen.

This made Mengde feel super unhappy with this video site for the first time, because there was not even a small advertising pop-up window before, and suddenly such a large advertising window popped up, and the user experience was extremely poor instantly.

However, I was quickly attracted by the number [$150,000,000] and was stunned on the spot.

He was dazzled by the numbers.

But the content of the page was incredible.

“WTF？？ $150 million video bounty program? Looking for the coolest, most popular videos? From now on, users who join the program will receive a $2.33 bounty for every original video of more than 45 seconds posted on the BluestarVideo website, and the ownership of the video will still belong to the video UP owner...... Even buy karma!! ”

Meng De couldn't help but hold his head in his hands, and his eyes were round.

And this kind of good thing?

Upload a video and get $2.33?

Meng De clicked on the pop-up page and quickly jumped to the next page to learn more and find out more.

The video bounty program released by the website not only allows you to get money by publishing videos, but also has a new video weekly list TOP200 list, and Meng De can't help but refresh the interface.

Sure enough, BluestarVideo quietly updated the new version, and the website under the new version popped up such a weekly rotation of the top200 list.

Moe Tak switches back to the page and continues browsing.

According to the summary of the "Video Bounty" program, new videos on this list will receive an additional bonus income, with the top 200 videos at the top of the list receiving $145 and the top 1 earning $30,000.

The ranking rules of the list are implemented according to the standard of video clicks and views, and only newly uploaded videos will enter this list for PK, which rotates once a week, a bit like the flavor of the song chart Billboard, but there is a difference, each video on this list can only be on the list once, and the billboard list can dominate the list for a long time.

Because there is still a huge difference in the algorithms and rules of the two lists.

The new version of the updated BV website also has an ad network, which will receive a certain amount of income based on the comprehensive evaluation of the likes index, click view index, and popularity of the comment area for the original videos uploaded to the website.

Theoretically, the more popular, widespread, and impactful a video is, the more ad revenue it can generate.

Meng De carefully read all the content, and the last one is that the "video bounty" program will be until the $150 million bounty is fully awarded.

This is very important, otherwise the follow-up video will not give money, and it will be sued for fraud, which will bring a lot of litigation trouble in Europe and the United States.

Meng De decisively joined the plan, but he was actually a little skeptical.

Wouldn't the website lose its rhythm?

After closing the page, he clicked through to his personal center and uploaded a video as usual.

In the evening, he turned on his computer to watch the videos on the BV website, and he didn't know that the number of times he opened BV and the time he spent on it had quietly become more frequent recently.

Because I have seen a lot of interesting videos on the website, such as some clip videos, etc., which have never been seen on other websites, and you can even watch boring news videos on the BV website, and you can even watch the weather forecast of a certain Mexican TV station on it, and the click rate is super high, because the female anchor of the weather forecast is too "biu Degao" regardless of appearance and figure.

Millions of clicks have been watched, do you think everyone cares about the weather in Mexico? Everyone pays attention to the female anchor of the weather forecast.

At this moment, Meng De is watching a war video, a 30-second video of a firefight from the Middle East, and the number of views has reached 800,000 and is still rising.

After watching it, he looked for other videos that interested him, but soon noticed a message on the page.

Meng De knew that most of the videos uploaded in the afternoon had been approved, so he clicked into the personal center casually.

But when she saw that the wallet on her personal page showed that she had successfully earned $2.33, she was stunned.

After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, and Brother Meng's whole person danced excitedly, singing and dancing all kinds of "Maiga" rap and skin.

Take a video, click the "Upload" button with one click, and then the 2.33 knife is successfully in hand.

What could be more Nice?

In fact, Moe De is not the first person to react in this way.

After the launch of the video bounty program, the BV website has entered a real turning point in the more than two months since its launch, and from this moment on, the original videos uploaded to the website ushered in an explosive growth.

Money can make ghosts grind, this sentence applies everywhere.

It's human nature to share videos or something, and it's normal to be noticed if you want to be noticed, which is a hobby, but if you can make a little money by the way, the power can be imagined.
