New Video Opportunities

Contributor: Carrie Ann Carrie Ann
Hiya, everyone!

Lots of folks have asked about doing video on older, already published reviews -- and whether they can make gift cards doing so! Until recently, the answer was no.

We felt sort of bad about that. The resounding sighs of disappointment were breaking our hearts. We felt horrible. We spent weeks, tossing and turning, trying to decide how to make you guys feel better.

And finally?

We decided to let y'all video to your hearts content and pay you for each and every one of them!

How's it going to work, you ask?

Well, as with sponsored video reviews you'll need to upload the video to our site rather than embed from youtube or the like. This is so we have a hard copy of it, which is what we're actually paying you for. And you'll need to add the cover, the branding -- you know, the guy and gal about to smooch that you see on all the Eden Fantasys videos -- but, other than that? Just do your thing!

Make informative, funny, creative, crazy or cute videos of the products you've already reviewed. (Do try to keep them under 3 or 4 minutes, though) Email me(carrieann @ edenfantasys .com) for a copy of the cover file. Add it to the front of your video using windows movie maker or the software of your choice. Go to your account, find the review you've written, click the add video button and upload! We'll preview them and get them live as soon as we can -- and pay you a $25 gift card for each one once it's approved and published!

Doesn't that sound awesome?!

You can check out the link for regular video reviews for more detailed instructions. Or shoot me an email at carrieann at edenfantasys dot com. Or ask your questions here. Or just get busy! Get filming and uploading and entertaining us with your antics or blowing us away with your knowledge of your sex toys.

We really love all the video reviews that have come out. Our community and our customers love them just as much. And now you can make a little bonus on reviews you've already done. We? ARE the awesomesauce, if I do say so myself.

Don't forget you can also join the sponsored video review program at any time -- just take a look at the guidelines and instructions and contact me to let me know you're interested!

Awesomesauce. I think I'm gonna have to do this. Great idea guys.

Q: Will these new vid reviews need the work assignment worksheet?

Neat idea, I've always been a little nervous about doing a video review - but maybe I will someday!

I don't believe so, no, since they were previously assigned as a regular review. Also, we're working on making a check box to click when you upload a video rather than the physical paperwork so, eventually, none of them will need it.

Soon, soon....!

FYI! I got a question on Twitter that is a good one.

Products that already have a video are not eligible, unfortunately. It would be redundant for us to pay for multiple videos, I think.

I'll definitely update if that changes!

yay for check boxes and video reviews on already published products!

Do the videos have to be for sponsored reviews, or can we make videos for products we have purchased ourselves too?

*bump*!

Want to make sure our weekend readers see this.

Also, a quick reminder. Most times videos are approved and live within a few hours of uploading them. During the evenings and weekends, however, they may take until the next business day.

Don't freak out. I will get to them asap.

I so hope you guys are still running it this way (or some even better cooler way) when I can finally participate in this program. I look forward to the influx of new and awesome videos

Any idea how long it will take to get ahold of the cover file? I sent an email a few days ago and haven't heard back yet. Thanks in advance!

I didn't get an email from ya. Try again? CarrieAnn [at] edenfantasys [.com]

Just a heads up --

I always reply to email within a few hours, a day at most, unless it's the weekend. On weekends you may have to wait until Monday.

If it's ever been more than two or three days, let me know. Chances are I didn't get it or it went to my junk mail.

Also, remember to check your own junk mail or spam folder as things do often end up there.

Just a quick heads up for everyone...

Please make sure before you add a video to your review that it's a product we're carrying. If it's discontinued or something you did a description review on that we decided not to stock, a video review really isn't necessary.

If in doubt, just double check with me before hand.

A request!

If you guys are going to add video to older reviews -- or even new product you just got that wasn't assigned as a specific video review -- please double check with me before you go ahead?

We've had a couple of videos come in lately on stuff that is out for video review assignment, which means we're going to have double videos and we'd much prefer to have two videos of different things to two videos of the same product, especially as there is still so much on the site without video.

Thank you!

Bumping this to give everyone another heads up...

No video reviews on books, DVDs, condoms, stockings.

It's already been mentioned, up there somewhere, but only one video review is allowed per product.

Please email me if you intend to add video to a review to get approval before you add it. (carrieann@edenfantasy s.com)

Videos should be around 3 minutes in length! Try not to go over this if it's avoidable.

Also, the more creative you can be, the better. Try to focus on the parts of the product that are best shown in video, rather than getting caught up in specs and cleaning info. That's what the text is for!

thanks for the updated info! I need to email you for the branding link. I'd love to do some vids when I have the time.

Also, guys, remember to watch your color and sound. We've had some dark, dark videos coming in lately with hard to hear sound. I LOVE that so many are doing videos and we don't expect professional quality but we do need to be able to clearly see and hear you and the toy.

Thanks!
