Business model
Vidli makes money through selling and renting videos. Doing this requires that we (1) identify the types of videos for which consumers are willing to pay, (2) acquire those videos to be licensed through Vidli, and (3) market, promote, and sell/rent those videos. We accomplish these objectives through the following:
- (a) The Vidli Organic Search Algorithm
- (b) Automated PPC ROI Maximizer Algorithm (talk about a mouthful!)
- (c) The Vidli Sales Team
- (d) Affiliate Sales Channels
- (e) Content Owners' Sales Team and Channels
- (f) Vidli Video Discovery and Recommendations

Competitive advantage
In an article dated January 18, 2010, Forbes Magazine calls online video piracy the trend of the upcoming decade. Vidli has spent the last two years researching, building, and refining our unique solution to this massive problem.
While many video websites simply stream or provide downloadable media, we take the extra step to make sure content owners' valuable videos are safe from illegal distribution. Our proprietary anti-piracy protection system leverages several cutting-edge technologies to keep us a step ahead of our competition...and more importantly, video thiefs.

IP and defensibility
One of our strategies when taking the VIdli service to market is to position it as a "hip and fun" brand (ala the Blue-Footed Booby) that is easily identifiable as the place to buy, sell, and rent any kind of video. To protect our brand equity, we have filed federal trademark applications for the "Vidli" word mark and the image of our "Blue-Footed Booby" logo. Both are pending with the USPTO.
We are also in the process of filing and obtaining patents for our anti-piracy solution, licensing model, and key algorithms. Our algorithms are designed to (1) determine the types of content to acquire for sale/rent on Vidli, (2) drive sales (from external sites and our own), and (3) price videos with a pre-determined margin (assuring we cover our costs on every single video transaction).
