Hey All,<p>Would love to get your feedback on a site I am working on at the moment. We just launched today so expect it to have a few bugs that need ironed out still.<p>Thoughts on branding/UI/Site content etc very much appreicated - either positive or negative. Will take them onboard/review and implement.<p>(Note: smart phone goodness a couple of weeks away)
So what extra does this provide outside of the numerous other startup/how to rule world video sites (Mixergy comes to mind), and will whatever that extra is make it monetizable? For instance, are you guys producing your own content, and if so, are the people saying different things than they have already said elsewhere? So in short, what value does meettheboss add to the already crowded "how to run a good business" market.
First off, the design of the site is fairly solid. I think you did a good job there.<p>As johnrob stated, the name might be an issue–you don't want your brand to pigeon-hole you or give people the wrong impression.<p>I have no idea what your monetization strategy is, but I would look into a paid section of the site. Offer the 2-10 min videos for free but have a "premium" area where you have collections of 20-60 min videos available for paid members.<p>You could also organize premium videos into groups and offer some sort of "program" to entire organizations. Business training programs are big business–especially in areas like management, customer service, conflict resolution, compliance, etc. You could use something like Moodle (<a href="http://moodle.org/" rel="nofollow">http://moodle.org/</a>) to offer videos, content, testing, and tracking.<p>Yes, I know it's expensive to create such content but if I were you, I'd go looking for a partner–someone who has created these programs in analog/DVD formats. Offer to repurpose their content for the web and share revenue.<p>Anyway, that's my $.02 ... might be beyond what you had in mind.
"MeetTheBoss TV is where future leaders learn."<p>I think this is a bit ambiguous and sounds kind of marketingy. What does that it exactly? I think something along the lines of " learn how to be a better boss" or "how to climb the corporate ladder" or something along those lines would be better.<p>I like the design though. It seems very clean.
My first impression of the site was that it was a directory of videos featuring bosses ("meettheboss.tv" implies just that). However, the site looks overly complex given that mission... there are channels, articles, training, podcasts, etc.<p>You should either make the product as simple as the name (i.e. simplify the site's navigation and content so that it only includes boss videos), or change the name/message to imply more than boss videos.
