Welcome to The Onsite Pool Network! "Combining efforts in the billiard industry"
Many of you possibly heard about our own high definition streaming servers capable of high bit streams and plenty of bandwidth. Yes, the rumors are true. Take a gander at our site. http://www.onsitepool.com The site may seem a vauge at the moment, but thats on purpose. We are adding new features behind the scenes everyday. Currently it’s just a TV window and Chat Window with plenty of room for billiard sponsors. We are effortlessly trying to keep the site as clear as possible making room for nothing more than billiard related content. (No KY Jelly or Trojan Condom Commercials, We promise.)
Now onto our madness and quite possibly sadness. Let us spell it out for you in our opinion, if you will..
We understand the billiard industry contains about 99% of the world's entrepreneurs.. ha ha.. (kidding).. It actually feels true. What a great industry to be apart of--Seriously. It takes a keen mind to master the game of billiards on the table, and off. I'm obliged to say I've invested 20 years myself. It's no wonder many of us are intuned to the capitalization the industry defines. Many of us have seen projects flop, and a few have made it, some of them barely.
We are hoping OnSitePool.com Productions will be one that will stay afloat for many years to come. We’ve invested huge amount of time and research into the project and even streamed our hometown tournaments and local pool room matches.
The key principle that motivates our effort is not so much to hog all the glamor, but enabling the industry to be revitalized. The sacrifice from so many that bring us countless hours of pool matches and content online is going undercompensated, if not at all. The more tournament directors throw at live streaming their events, the less players could possibly get. The large streaming sites are using our content for their gain. Imagine having 10% of that, or 20%, 30%, 50%. Now fathom 100%. One of our goals is to keep all potential revenue within the billiard community. We need to stop giving it away!
Many shows and streams that struggle can now support the cause and actually make money. Even going to stream risky 1st annual events, amateur events, and mom and pop tournaments can be feasible. Even if it’s a $100.00 profit. Or even the performance paid for the high bit stream and broke even. All would be better than losing money. There’s much overhead traveling the country and streaming billiards. With technology progressively renewing itself, it seems daily, will enable more streamers to hit the net. We need to be ready for them, enabling a larger market for the billiard sponsors and for the sake of seeing unknowns out there. It almost vindictive of the similarities how amateur pool supports the professionals. In this case the amateur streamers will create a larger audience for the sponsors, in fact supporting the billiard streaming community as a whole.
The delimiting factor will be our beloved sponsors. Imagine sponsors spending half of what they're currently spending for direct campaigns, or all campaigns for that matter. Sponsors will be able focus more of their advertising budget towards a turnkey environment where nearly 100% of impressions and clicks will be from the billiard community. They won’t have to divide their advertising budget into many pieces based on “word of mouth”, or rely on guessing who did the best. There’s currently no analytic data to justify their advertising budgets. There could be!
Elimination of all unrelated billiard in-stream commercials and advertising will increase viewer satisfaction. Server side advertising will be controllable by the streamer so not to interrupt programming. Streamed advertising “on-air” will still be permissible giving the local industries and promoters better opportunity to plug their products and services.
The billiard industry having its own high definition streaming servers will enable a slew of possibilities. It could eliminate the streamers responsibility struggling to find and negotiate sponsorship. Also, it will immediately reduce overhead from inflated premiums at the large streaming sites. Many times premiums are unknown and based on bandwidth consumption. Scary if I may add.
To further reduce overhead for our members, OnSitePool.com Productions offers backend support with the latest in webhosting, webdesign with our dedicated servers. This will create seamless integration into a member's website with our streaming capabilities and advertising structure themed around billiards and technology. Members will still have complete control of their website, if not more control, by their current provider. Instead of members having a ‘streaming channel’ they will have their ‘streaming website’ backed by OnSitePool.com. We will be happy to design a site based on your likes, or if you wish keep your site the same. The choice is left to our members.
To mention a few, we offer these services: Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress web content management. Also, cpanel, ssh, ftp access. The latest rtmp, rtsp, hls, cbr, vbr streaming in high definition to any device including iphones, ipads, and android mobile devices with selectable bit rates.
Here's the kicker. We need a couple of the larger streaming bodies such as TAR, PoolActionTV, InsidePoolTV, GBST, and among others to pony up their sponsorship rights. As a whole, more revenue would be generated. Distribution of the collaborated advertising revenues would be based upon impression and click performance. Just as many large internet conglomerates are doing today. i.e. Google, Yahoo, and Facebook.
I hope your reading hasn’t caused you to become turbulent. We kindly ask for respect on this venture, as we are dead serious. We are asking for respectable responses to this post and hopefully earn the right of the AZBilliard moderators to make this as sticky as possible.
Furthermore, if you wish to inquire about OnSitePool.com Productions and wish to speak with us directly to share your ideas or concerns, please direct those to sales@onsitepool.com.
