The platform currently supports videos, audiobooks, podcasts and music, with e-books, games and ring tones coming in the near future. Ebay allowed people to take what was in their attic and turn it into an online store. We are doing the same thing, but for digital goods. There's a market that exists offline where people are already selling to a large audience. This site provides everything they need to sell online and set their own pricing and payment model. The company will convert DVDs and such content to digital download format for free and lets you set your own pricing model, whether it be rental, subscription-based or a flat fee for a download. Wong said sellers can also choose how to sell their content. For instance, they can decide to offer an entire video or e-book, sell individual chapters or bundle together different formats, say, an e-book and a video.
Reporting and Promotion
In a format similar to eBay, sellers have a "My Zipidee" page with a control panel that lets them list items for sale, set pricing and insert meta tags, descriptions, titles, keyword tags and so on. They can create thumbnail video captures so customers can preview content, and set it for a selected time-frame or for the first two minutes. For content that may need it, sellers can also place ratings, such as PG-13.
The "My Zipidee" page also shows the history of sales for each buyer, so you can see how much you've sold, what profit was generated for each sale and so on, and this data can be exported to Excel.
And, if you already have a Web shop or page in a social network, you can use Zipidee's promotional and affiliate widgets.
In addition, Zipidee also offers a proprietary digital rights management platform as well as digital watermarking, Wong said, "so you don't have to worry that your stuff ends up on YouTube." Vendors simply choose to opt in or out during the registration process.
