My Game Business

19th June, 2009 - Posted by Ramona - 1 Comment

I have been involved with helping people make money online for about 3 years now. The other day I almost made a grave mistake. I was talking to a prospect about my game business when I just about told her I didn’t feel this would be the right business for her. As we were chatting about my game business, she mentioned she had never played an online game herself. I immediately thought this is not a business I want her to get into to. First rule I live by is you need to be passionate about your business. She went on to to tell me later in our conversation how she loves sports. She had said the magic words. My game business is all about interactive online sports games. This is a preview of My Game Business. Read the full post (335 words, 1 image, estimated 1:20 mins reading time) Read More

Cost-Effective Advertising Within The Video Game Industry

22nd May, 2009 - Posted by Ramona - No Comments

Advertising in today’s market is looking at a serious change. Web games that can be downloaded have exploded in the past five years in both North America and the rest of the world. This industry grew from almost nothing in 2002 to well over $600M in 2004 in the U.S. alone and industry experts anticipate that it will reach over $2 billion by the end of 2010. It’s not surprising then that the U.S. video game industry has quickly caught up to the sales of the domestic movie box office, already weighing in at $10 billion overall. The worldwide market for dynamic advertising placed within the games is projected to reach $2.5 billion by 2010. MVP Online has recognized the need that exists to get consumers’ eyes back on advertisements, and has positioned itself at the forefront of the advertising within the gaming movement. Our first product to feature this new advertising delivery system is Golden Fairway, a fully emersive 3D golf simulation. At first the game industry mocked the idea of placing ads in games, and said that players would never put up with seeing real world elements in their virtual realities. Over the years, however, online games have became increasingly realistic and increasingly modern. This has lead to the results of a recent study showing that static ads in games, such as a billboard or blimp, or integrated advertising, such as upon the cars the players drive, can improve awareness of a brand in the same way as a 30-second TV spot. On top of that, when ads are on screen long enough and are highly integrated in the game, they can make players feel more positive about a product. We’ve taken these studies into consideration when choosing how we integrate ads into Golden FairwayOnline Golf Game and our Redline Thunder Stock Car Racing Games.
