That VidBlaster Guy! who produces over 50 live shows a year

Using Dacast, That VidBlaster Guy! produces over 50 live shows a year. Produced every Wednesday, live video streaming is watched by over 40 countries. Thousands of viewers tune in to the broadcast as well.  The program is a self-role model for how to offer one awesome broadcast each week using the VidBlaster encoder.

Challenge

Escaping the 50% 

That VidBlaster Guy! is not only instructional but a self-made model for success. In keeping this principle, the show’s owner, Tom Sinclair, searched for a way to escape Ustream’s very steep 50% revenue split on Pay Per View, for his own ventures and also as a recommendation for the show’s viewers on best practices to follow for success.

Solution

Finding a silent partner

After looking at other streaming services, That VidBlaster Guy! selected Dacast.The service was a perfect venue for doing a weekly show. White-label features, making Dacast a silent partner, were ideal for reaching the show’s targets: broadcasters that do online talk shows, internet sports and church broadcasts.

Through the silent partnership, ThatVidBlaster Guy! can focus on the strength of the VidBlaster live production software, from instant replays to including PowerPoint presentations: “For my viewers, Dacast is invisible. My show’s strong silent partner” says Tom Sinclair, That VidBlaster Guy!

I choose Dacast because I can trust Dacast. It’ll work this time, it’ll work every time.

Tom Sinclair - Founder

Results

One awesome broadcast 

Combined with the powerful VidBlastersoftware, the show was able to live up to its moniker: One guy with one PC doing one awesome broadcast! 

Everything from camera switching, chroma key, cycling graphics and more are possible with VidBlaster, while Dacast provides the sturdy infrastructure and global presence to effectively reach the show’s geographically diverse audience: viewers in over 40 countries. 

The platform is also sound for catering to one of the three verticals represented by the show: Sports. Using Dacast’s built-in Pay Per View solutions, with minor commissions and full merchant account hassle removed, Sinclair operates ventures into this area outside of the show while encompassing first-hand knowledge to show viewers how to succeed.
