antonis12,

We, wrestled with the idea of how prominent the .tv should be. At first we thought it should be in CAPS. When this designer placed it on the top in lower case and colored as it is, it seemed to be pretty obvious, but I do hear you, that is why.........

When the console opens in the near future (the now purple area) there will be a two or three second flash animation where the logo ( same logo set up differently for centering) zooms into the frame and is then static. I am thinking of having the designer make the .tv sorta balloon up, puff up,morph it, whatever you would call it, at the end and then go back to it original size. Should be a nice visual. Maybe even make it have a couple antennae sticking out for a moment and then they pop back in?

The other thing we may do is a preroll with voice over and a tag line which we are still working on.

Yesterday I put together our licensing agreement, still fine tuning that, and today we are writing the letter of introduction to content owners we want to work with. Still looking at a good launch by September 1st, we may even have the WineShop.TV up by that time as some of the same clients will be able to populate that site with content and inventory. Already working on the press release and will need to get traffic lined up. Some will come from sites I own and others from syndicating regular and custom players to other sites.

WineAuction.TV will need a bit more programming so don't see that becoming a reality til after the first of 2007.

In the meantime my 30 day goals are to get my first 20 videos, signed up, encoded and up and running. Would like to sell one ad deal this month (August). Will incorporate Adsense on the interior landing pages/advertorial pages. Aneed to sell another 10 domains in the next 30 days. Should cover any financing needed for a little bit.

Happy with the progress considering I didn't know anything about any of this stuff 60 days ago.

Advice for anyone else out ther considering doing this, just do it and do it now while you have first mover advantage and can build some value in the marketplace. I am considering so many more video projects now that I wish I could sell my whole domain portfolio right now. It feels like we are two years ahead of the curve rather than two years behind. And in reality I think there is a small window of opportunity to carve whatever niche you may have or want in this new industry.

Cheers!
