Podcasters, webcasters, screencasters:

If you have a popular podcast, Youtube or Vimeo channel, or videos on “how-to” sites, Leaping Brain has a clever strategy for you.

 

Attention all Podcasters:

Podcasters have long searched for the best way to monetize their product. Advertising in a some cases has been a measurable supplement, but there are few podcast producers who are completely satisfied that advertising revenue is sufficiently compensating them for their efforts.

We have a better idea.

If you have a popular instructional podcast, you are perfectly positioned to offer more in-depth fee-based courses on the topics you cover. Your free podcast then becomes a valuable marketing tool that funnels viewers to your premium products.

By putting your free and premium content into your own branded MOD Machine, you can offer your subscribers a convenient, branded, secure, high quality solution for browsing, purchasing and viewing your episodes – where you are not lost among the thousands of podcasts in iTunes.

And if you choose to syndicate your products through CraniumNet, you have the opportunity to greatly expand your distribution and sales through affiliates who have website visitors or customers interested in your topic area.

SELL YOUR VIDEO PODCAST

What is a video podcast?

A video podcast is simply one or more movies that live on a server on the internet, along with an XML file that lists the movies along with other information like titles, descriptions, etc. in an RSS or RSS-like format. The individual movies are usually called “episodes”. More info here.
Previously, podcasts were all free, and you could use “podcast catchers”, like Apple’s iTunes, Miro, or many other options, to subscribe to podcasts and download episodes. Some companies have tried to monetize podcasts with advertising, but none we know of are successful.

What is the “MOD Machine”?

The MOD Machine is the world’s best internet video product distribution platform, combining catalog browsing, secure downloading, video playback, and other powerful features into one elegant, integrated system.

How does the “MOD Machine” change the world of video podcasting forever?

The MOD Machine is a platform that, for the first time, allows you to securely sell your video podcast, and deliver it on demand in your own, customized, branded “internet TV”.

Why sell video podcasts? Why not just sell video on the web?

There are so many reasons, both technical and psychological. Probably the most important is that it’s been proven over and over that people don’t pay for web video. The history of trying to sell video on the web is a litany of colossal failures by some of the world’s best-known brands. As everybody knows, the web is free. Video podcasts are not the web. While delivered over the same internet tubes as web pages, video podcasts have almost no connection with browsers or the web.

How does the pricing work?

Sell individual movies

One simple option is pricing individual movies as you wish, from free to hundreds of dollars. Your customers can choose which movies they wish to purchase. Often, it’s a good idea to also include free movies to give prospective customers a taste of what to expect from your paid episodes.

Sell a multi-chapter “virtual DVD”

The other option, and a quite revolutionary and brilliant one, is that MOD Machine 2.0 allows you to sell an entire podcast for one single price. The amazing this about this option is, that in this case, you can think of your whole podcast as a “product”, and individual movies as “sections” or “modules”, much like a DVD has “chapters”. In this way, for the first time, you can easily deliver a DVD-like experience over the internet, allowing your viewers to click to jump to any chapter, with tools you’ve already mastered. And remember, since you can have an unlimited number of different podcasts, you can offer an unlimited number of multi-chapter products through your MOD Machine.

But wait, it gets a lot better, doesn’t it?

Yes it does! MOD Machine was designed from the ground up with content syndication in mind. Simply put, this means you can sell whatever other products you want in your catalog, and you can offer your products for sale through our content syndication network called CraniumNet.

Testimonials

This is the best teaching aid I have used. Add that feature and it far surpasses anything out there -- when coupled with the right media, of course ;) Homespun is a great source of educational content.

As a media delivery tool, I must hand it to you at Leaping Brain! This is perfect. I was perusing your website and noticed that you are selling your product into different markets as well. I never thought about the possibilities for Video On Demand (outside of the normal content delivery of cable companies). What you do, leveraging off of the bandwidth now available to a vast consumer base, has the potential to reach so many more people for good...

This is truly an awesome product.

Keep up the good work!
