I’ve always said that targeting the education market is one of the best…almost surefire ways…to profit from web video.<\/p>\n

Now a new wrinkle has been added to this by a site called YOUniversityTV.<\/strong><\/a> What do they do?\u00a0 Well, they sent casts and camera crews to over 400 major four-year universities in the United States.\u00a0 Then they made videos that showcase the universities.<\/p>\n

The idea is to give college-bound students an all-access pass to these universities…online…without them having to travel to each university (saving parents considerable time and money).<\/p>\n

\u201cYOUniversityTV.com is about promoting higher education, about offering students the resources they need to make an informed decision about where to go to school,\u201d said Ron Reis, co-founder and CEO. \u201cWe hope to become the premier online destination for prospective college students, motivating them to enroll in a school that fits their needs, wants and interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what sets YOUniversityTV apart, is that the universities gave them their “blessing”…they were given complete campus access.\u00a0 What’s more, YOUniversityTV receives no compensation from the schools, so their reviews are unbiased.\u00a0 And college-bound students can use the site for free.<\/p>\n

The site also features user-generated videos…both from students attending the universities and from the school’s themselves.\u00a0 And user’s of the site can also create profiles (ala Facebook).<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting web site and one you should check out.\u00a0 It’s also an excellent model on the use of web video and new media.\u00a0 One that with a little creative thinking, could be duplicated in numerous other niche markets.<\/p>\n
