What do you think of my web series? Would you host yours on Mahalo as well?

It's a very barebones kind of show, but I'm curious to hear your feedback. I hosted it on mahalo here: http://mahalo.com/film-talk what do you think of hosting it on Mahalo?
Tip for best answer: M$2.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hosting on Mahalo is a great idea because then you at least get a cut of whatever ad revenue your show produces and it give you another place to showcase your work.

Youtube won't let you join their partner program (ad revenue sharing) until your videos become popular enough. When your show reaches their their threshold you should also join the Youtube partner program. The more exposure for your videos the more chances people will have to find them. I don't have time to watch right now but when I do I'll come back and add my comments about the show.

YOu should also check out Tubemogul http://www.tubemogul.com/

"TubeMogul is a free service that provides a single point for deploying uploads to the top video sharing sites, and powerful analytics on who, what, and how videos are being viewed. TubeMogul tracks rich, standardized analytics far beyond "views," including per-second audience dropoff, audience geography and much more."

Good Luck.

As promised eailier here is my comment on the show. I watched episode 2,5 and 8. People who are expecting film reviews will be very confused as the primary story to me was the interplay between the two main characters. I didn't get much of a flavour of the movie, a movie review should give enough information for the viewer to decide on whether they should see the movie or not. If the primary focus is going to continue to be the relationship between Max and Kate, what is the story you are trying to tell? How does each episode advance that story? Watching them bicker for a few episodes is ok but will quickly turn into a one trick pony.

Not meant to be harsh, hope it is of some help.

I thought your series was enjoyable, is it scripted or is all that just off the top of your head? Very convincing either way. I think you could improve your page by adding descriptions of the episodes with inlinks to the movie pages and their stars.

If your series continues on, you may consider the possibility of the page getting too long, in that case you could consider starting a second page after 15-20 episodes, simply start a Film Talk Season Two page - that way fans can bounce through multiple pages and they won't get too load crazy with YouTube clips.

Great idea! It is so hard when you first launch a website to get any exposure at all. And once you have the exposure, it is even harder to accumulate anything other than pocket change for all your valiant efforts. By hosting it on Mahalo you can connect with a wonderful, reputable, well known site, thus driving traffic. You are also assured that the more you work on it, the more you get from the revenue share. I never would have thought of doing that! Kudos on the wonderful idea!

The idea of your website is also a terrific one. So many times I get tired of just reading movie reviews. With the videos you really capture the true feeling behind the review that can sometimes get lost through writing. As well as add a lot of back and forth humor that would be quite difficult to write..lol. I look forward to more reviews!
