Services we provide
Player
The Blip player is designed specifically for web series. It’s embeddable on your website, Tumblr, Facebook, and almost anywhere else, and it’s fully monetizable when embedded. The size, colors, and branding of the player are fully customizable. It plays on iOS and Android devices. You can even choose a fancy thumbnail image with an elegant thumbnail picker.
Distribution
The key to growing a large and sustainable audience is platform diversity. Relying on a single platform for distribution is limiting yourself to only that audience. At Blip, we help our shows reach their Total Potential Audience. That’s why Blip is 100% non-exclusive and offers powerful syndication tools that distribute your show to places like YouTube, Vimeo, Roku, Boxee, iTunes, and other internet-enabled TVs and set-top boxes.
Monetization
Blip has one of the strongest sales teams in the online video space. Because shows like yours are high quality and engaging, Fortune 500 companies are eager to buy ads through Blip. Our ad splits are 50-50 and the CPMs you see are the net splits.
Audience
With the curated blip.tv destination site, Blip has given you a place to find an audience. You can quickly build a Show Page by uploading your Show Poster and a custom header graphic. Promote your Twitter account (recent Tweets) and your Facebook Page on the Show Page itself so your viewers can follow you across the web. Show Pages also feature a clean episode archive, links to your own sites, and more.
Analytics
Digital playback of your show allows your audience’s reactions to be very precisely monitored. You can see which sections of your episode are resonating and which are causing your viewers to drop out. Blip also provides tools to analyze revenue and performance across all your distribution outlets.
Support
The Content Team at Blip has been working closely with independent producers since 2005 and we have many web series veterans on the team. We can’t make your show for you, but we can help you optimize your video strategy and take full advantage of the Blip platform. And if you run into any technical hurdles along the way, we’ll help you figure it out.
To be on Blip, you need to be producing an original series.
Episodes of an original web series are…
- Consistent in nature and format
- Edited, curated, and packaged for easy audience consumption
- Released regularly and predictably (or a large back catalog of episodes)
Episodes of an original web series are not…
- Standalone videos looking to go viral
- Commercials, commercial content, or portfolio reels
- Anything that’s not aspiring to be a show (such as sermons, raw video game play, and anything that’s random, unedited, or uncurated)
Case studies

Rooster Teeth
Watch nowRooster Teeth
Rooster Teeth produces multiple web series that share a similar audience, i.e. gamers.
Episodes premiere on their website behind a modestly priced paywall several days in advance of the general release. Once that window of exclusivity is over, the video goes live on their site in a Blip player, and eventually other places like YouTube.
