The idea is like Megavideo for anyone.
This app and widget allows publishers to input a few details about where their content is and their paypal email and the widget then cuts off viewers after a set time (which they can adjust per video), it sends them to Paypal, which pays directly into their own accounts then back to the video where they can continue watching for the duration they sign up for (so they have 4 choices, 1 day, 1 week, 3 months, 1 year).
I'm not interested in design related points, like the site looks naff etc. I'm interested in what you think of the general idea and if you think it could be successful.
Here's the problem. Since announcing the idea to a few people and sending it some traffic love from my highly popular documentary site, it has had very little interest. I have some potential customers who have asked I develop extra features which I have about half completed but the problem I get is it just hasn't gotten the reception or enough feedback to tell me this is a real pain and there are enough end users out there for it.
The main problem I foresee is that publishers would have a fair bit of set up time to implement it, they would have to change all the Flash player widgets they currently use (though I don't think this should be a big deal?).
So I need to do another month or so development to get it finished and I'm asking for your input on the idea to tell me if you think it's a worthy project and if you think it can be successful.
