Our mission is to make independent Web shows sustainable. We've built software and services to make that possible.

The blip.tv Dashboard caters to your every need. It's a central location for your show: your episodes, your distribution, your players, your community, your statistics and your advertising revenue. The Dashboard puts you in control of everything. It offers flexibility and power, all in one convenient package.

Simplicity

The Dashboard design process focused on simplicity. We spent hundreds of man hours trying to figure out how to make the hard things easy and the impossible merely hard. Reordering your episodes is as simple as drag and drop. Syndicating to television screens is as simple as checking a box.

Power

Hidden behind the Dashboard's simplicity is enormous power. Distribute to 80% of the video Internet with just a couple clicks. Interact with your viewers across your entire distribution network. Control monetization by choosing between advertising multiple advertising formats. Use professional tools like FTP and a sophisticated API to manage your show. Run an entire Web studio by switching seamlessly between Dashboard interfaces for dozens of shows.

Insights and Analytics

See statistics like you've never seen before. The Dashboard shows you exactly where your audience is, and increasingly who they are. Use second-by-second engagement graphs to determine where your audience fast forwards, where they rewind, and where you lose them. Use this data to adopt a Kaizen approach to show production: improve your show with every episode until you reach perfection.

Massive Distribution Network

The blip.tv distribution network reaches more than 80% of Americans on the Internet and a growing number of television households. Partners like YouTube, NBC, Apple, TiVo and AOL help blip.tv shows find their total potential audiences. Most distribution partners are available with a simple checkbox to all shows, while some require approval from our content team.

Statistics. And more statistics.

The first step in continual improvement is data. You need to establish a baseline of performance. Then you make changes and monitor the results. Blip.tv gives you all the tools you need to establish a clear baseline for your show's performance, and all the tools you need to monitor the effect of your changes.

See how many people are watching your show, how long they're watching, and where they're watching. See exactly where in the video they stop watching, and what parts they watch again and again. Use this information to continually improve your show. Drive to perfection.

Advertising

Blip's nationwide advertising sales team, working in concert with network partners, works every day to make show creators money. The industry is still maturing, but blip.tv is leading the way every day.

Build your own players.

The Dashboard allows you to create extremely sophisticated custom video players that display either single episodes, all your episodes, or specific playlists. You can easily replace the "blip.tv" branding with your own branding and link. Choose which features to include in the player and which to leave out. You can even control advanced settings like the player's JavaScript API, closed captioning and a custom logo "bug" that appears on the lower-right corner of the player.

Powerful Social Tools

Over the years we've found that the most successful shows are the ones that interact with their audiences the most. That's why the blip.tv Dashboard automatically collects comments and friend requests from across your distribution network. These are displayed right within the Dashboard for you to reply to, accept, deny or delete.
