How Conan O’Brien Can Take Over the Internet

gootecks — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:40:14 +0000

Conan O’Brien is currently presented with a unique opportunity to either continue being a part of the downward spiral of mainstream media or jump ship to unexplored territory where no TV personality has ever dared to go. 2010 is going to be the year internet television finally hits its stride and Conan can either be with it or against it. Here is an actionable plan for how Conan can not only leave the remaining Late Night hosts in the dust, but be better off than he was before with a stronger fan base, higher ad revenue and more entertaining show due to a lack of network censors.

Step 1: JOIN REVISION 3

The network has written him an open letter, offering him the “keys to the kingdom,” meaning creative control over his show and its place on the network, as well as an ad sales team and a social media strategy. Rev 3 has the resources necessary to bring Conan’s entire show over including his set, band and characters, which would alleviate Conan of having to figure out internet distribution and streaming himself. Allowing Rev 3 to handle the details of distribution would allow Conan to focus on creating a stronger show for his existing audience.

As far as I can tell, Revision 3 is currently the leader in original internet-based video content, so if he were to go the internet route at all, Rev 3 is the way to go.

Step 2: TWEAK THE SHOW FOR THE NEW AUDIENCE

With most of Conan’s demographic being internet-savvy young adults, Conan would be free to tweak and re-tool his show to cater to a less mainstream, more targeted audience. With companies like Pepsi abandoning their traditional Super Bowl commercial ad buys, it’s pretty clear that the sheer size of an audience isn’t nearly as important as how targeted they are in today’s advertising environment.

After all, it takes zero effort for someone who watched the 11PM news to leave the TV on and watch whoever is currently hosting the Tonight Show, but someone going specifically to a Conan O’Brien web site means they are already more invested in the show.

Step 3a: MONETIZATION THROUGH INTERWEB AD SALES

This is almost certainly one of the biggest factors weighing in on Conan’s decision on where to go from here. The TV commercial business model has been around for decades which means advertisers are familiar and comfortable with it, whereas ad sales for internet shows are brand new and unproven by comparison. This should hardly be a deal killer though because:

the fat $30 million check from NBC to leave is the perfect resource to use to keep the same crew on-board in a move to internet broadcasting and distribution
Conan has a strong enough personal brand to command high dollar ad buys from big name advertisers that can definitely supplement the show’s primary revenue sources which could be a number of models

Step 3b: MONETIZATION VIA FREEMIUM DISTRIBUTION MODEL

Conan can use a freemium distribution model to generate revenue directly from subscribing fans. The show can be streamed every weeknight at his former Late Night time slot of 12:35AM or whatever time he chooses since he would have no other internet-based competitor. Premium subscribers would be able to pay a monthly fee to download the shows in HD/iPhone format at a price that would appeal to fans who want to watch Conan on demand instead of at a specific time every night.

The current Conan offerings on iTunes are expensive for what they are and currently limited to specific special show segments.

Step 3c: MONETIZATION VIA MERCHANDISE & LIMITED RESOURCES

In addition to premium subscriber revenue, the resources are out there for internet television streams to include in-stream links to online stores and products based on inside jokes and characters from the show. With such a large fanbase, Conan will be able to crank out everything from plush Masturbating Bears to string-dancing Conan action figures. Now it doesn’t matter if the show is uploaded to YouTube or shared via Bit Torrent because with a stronger online presence, Conan will be able to promote an online show to sell physical products.

Step 4: INTEGRATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA SITES

With a stronger online presence comes a stronger social media presence. Developing a dedicated following through the use of Facebook and Twitter would mean more fan interactivity and greater audience engagement. I am anxiously awaiting a Conan O’Brien Facebook app that notifies my friends when I create my own Conan O’Brien character mash-up and post it on someone’s wall. Or how about a Twitter contest where re-tweeting Conan would automatically enter me into a drawing to win tickets to be a part of his new live studio audience. Social media marketing is finally going mainstream in 2010 and Conan has an opportunity to make a big splash.

Conclusion

Conan has a unique opportunity to be one of the first mainstream celebrities to switch their main livelihood to internet-based content. By having the guts to trailblaze a new path, he opens the doors of opportunity not just for himself but for his peers in the entertainment world as well as up and coming internet video shows such as this one to gain mainstream credibility and develop a solid business model that blows away the traditional TV one.

Citizens, Welcome to 2010!

Please excuse the dust, geeks and nerds. The website is currently undergoing a makeover. I couldn’t get it to be in perfect working condition before the weekend, but I’m sure none of you guys give a flying fuck whether or not the website is ready. You guys just want information, and that is what I plan on giving to you lovely people!

Being in the new year, a new season, and a new decade, I figured it’s about time that we step GTFO.tv up a notch. That means, a semi-functioning site, forums, and MOAR content! Even with the very few of you that are die-hard about this show, it’s become obvious to the boys and myself, that we have the potential to make this something more than just a Monday Night web show. With your help, I hope to bring you all a place to argue, debate, and nerdgasm, right here on GTFO.tv!

2010 UPDATES…

NEXT EPISODE:
Many of you have been asking me on twitter and facebook, when the show will be back. Now you have your answer!
[GTFO.tv] Episode #110 will air Monday – January 18, 2010!
/celebrate

As always, the show will be during the after-hours of theStream.tv. Meaning, that anything that happens that night is out of Brian Gramo’s control and is not to blame for the shenanigans that occur during the show. He is not held responsible for the douchebaggery that goes on.

That being said, please put your children to bed, load up your favorite game, and open up another beer. GTFO.tv is fucking back.

STALK US PLZ:
I put my lazy ass to work this month and created the following pages/profiles for you fans to sign up to!

CITIZENSHIP:
You’ve heard me say it shit load of times, but I will say it again. You are all CITIZENS OF THE CYBERNATION. At the beginning of every show, I like to address you guys by that title for the sole purpose of giving you guys the respective authority that I think you all deserve. We are part of this ‘internet web culture’. Whether or not you know this, the moment you log into your computer, open up a browser, and start surfing, you’ve connected to the millions of people who are also marching alongside you.

Now, instead of aimlessly walking around jacking off to PornTube videos or ROFLing at LoLcatz, I’d like to select from the small percentage of intelligent users of the web, and give them a place to call home. Watching this show is not just listening to Hogan’s, Ryan’s, or my own opinions, but YOURS as well. We discuss the current events of the internet, controversial topics, memes, gifs, twitter trends, youtube videos, and whatever else is there to bull shit about.

NO, We are not a news source. NO, We are not a video blog. NO, We will not be censored.
The opinions you hear from the show come from very strong minded individuals, just like you. We give the name of “Cybernationalist”, because we are all a part of the “Cybernation”.

To gain citizenship, all you would have to do is tune in, listen, and spread the word.

CITIZEN SETUPS & DESKTOPS:
We are ALWAYS looking for Citizen Setups! Don’t be shy, fuckers. Take a picture of your setup, or screenshot your desktop, and send them in to FCUK@GTFO.TV so we can showcase you, as an official citizen, on the show! Don’t be afraid to upload them to the Group Flickr account as well!

CONCLUSION:
There are a ton of other things to look out for the first week the show is back. But, don’t hesitate to start promoting now! It’d be the most kick ass thing you BAMF’s can do for us. We not only plan to have a FORUM up for you trolls to hang out in, but possibly adding a second night to air the show. This can only be possible with YOUR help and participation. You can start out by Retweeting some shit:
