These news organizations are strongly encouraging everyday people to upload their video clips to their news organization's website 24/7 for the world to see. The clear advantages are that the news organization has a lot more news naturally flowing to them without spending more money, per se. Their reporting staff gets expanded exponentially at relatively no cost. They are better able to obtain more exclusive clips that support law enforcement investigations or other news stories; up-close and personal hidden camera interviews; clips for entertainment purposes; and human interest stories that they might not otherwise get.
This new-age marketing also provides advertisers more 'Web real estate' to advertise on. These news organizations can use it as a strong secondary marketing outlet and tag the website with '…brought to you by [their company].' All in all, this Internet technology and freedom makes being on the news-producing side as well as on the viewer side much more fun and exciting because it is interactive.
With its increasing popularity, many business and news-related organizations are now moving toward using the '.TV' domain name to better market this new viewer involvement. From a marketing standpoint, they are realizing that '.TV' is the more appropriate domain name extension to use for this purpose; it is not only memorable, but video clips on the Web are like miniature television screens with sound. For those who are fortunate to procure metropolitan city/state domain names, especially since there are so few available, they can easily capitalize on this market even better than their competitor. Owning and promoting "ClevelandOhio.tv" is, without ambiguity, targeted to Clevelanders about what's happening and hot in Cleveland with the video clips (and archives) provided to back it up.
Domain names are treated analogously to 'real world' real estate since its value is also likened to 'location, location, location.' They are bought, sold, traded, auctioned, appraised, pawned, used as security for loans, sold via escrow by escrow professionals, financed similar to mortgages, and appreciate in value faster than real estate.
Not only is the domain name paramount to its marketability, but its popularity and increased earning potential have lured financial institutions (e.g. banks) into seeking to devour a piece of this BIG money pie! Just take a look at a weekly partial list of the 'sold' domain names at "DNJournal.com" and see if your eyes don't pop out of your head. For example, the domain name property Cardiology.com sold for $550,000 a couple weeks ago. A transaction like that can be conducted mostly at the office, at home, or on the beach! Primarily, all you need is a telephone, PC with an Internet connection, and Web-based fax capability.
Why is the domain name market again gaining so much steam, you ask? Because having a website is now more important than having a business card in all industries including the restaurant business, medical practice, and even for hobbyists. It is the communication connection to the world and those in your local target market. Information can be provided, products and services can be sold 24/7. According to some, a businessman is not taken seriously if they do not have a website in this 21st century. The result of having the right domain name and website coupled with good products, services, and support is tied to the success of a business.
Because it is quickly catching on to mainstream America and the world, many people are now either comfortably supplementing their income and lifestyle with this new-found asset 'trading' or making it their full-time career. It takes a lot of research and following of the economy to really get good at it, but the rewards can have you laughing all the way to the bank.
