System for apportioning revenue for media content derived from an online feedback community

Abstract

Uses media, for example audio, video or text performances that were integrated into an online community for feedback determinative of outcome, for digital distribution. Apportions compensation for a selected artist from revenue that may be generated through one or any combination of advertisement, services associated with artist's performance, and media sales. The media may include singing, instrumental music, rhythmic music, videos, and writings.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer implemented method, the comprising:

         2 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein enabling the communication between the media submitter and one or more users is provided via the online profile page of the media submitter using voice of internet protocol (VoIP). 
     
     
         3 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , the method further comprising enabling performance data to be distributed via a plurality content sharing channels comprising podcasting and text messaging. 
     
     
         4 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , the method further comprising determining a service level based at least in part on differently weighted interactions related to the media submitter's performance data. 
     
     
         5 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined threshold relates to a ranking of a submitted performance within a first category. 
     
     
         6 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined threshold relates to a percentage of submitted positive feedback. 
     
     
         7 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined threshold relates to a percentage of submitted positive feedback. 
     
     
         8 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , the method further comprising monitoring activations related to content, wherein at least one offer is provided to the media submitter based at least in part on the monitored activations. 
     
     
         9 . The method as defined in  claim 1 , the method further comprising enabling distribution of performance data via cell phones. 
     
     
         10 . A non-transitory computer storage medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by a computing device are configured to cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
 providing, over a communication network via a network interface to a video distribution system that provides the streaming of content, uploads of a plurality of media files comprising a plurality of media files associated with a media submitter, one or more of the media files comprising performance data, wherein the plurality of media files are stored in a media file data repository in association with an account associated with said media submitter;   via an online profile page of the media submitter:   providing access to the plurality of media files stored on the media file data repository to one or more user devices over the communication network;   enabling users to communicate with other users via the media submitter profile page;   enabling one or more of the plurality of media files of the media submitter to be synchronized with at least one alternate system for distributing the one or more of the plurality of media files;   enabling tracking of a number of views of a plurality of online items of performance data associated with advertisements;   receiving a presentation of a dynamically generated offer, the dynamically generated offer depending on availability of one or more services and whether the offer of a service has a different threshold value or condition, wherein the dynamic generation of an offer comprises:   determining the availability of at least one service;   based at least in part on:   the availability of at least one service, and   a determination that a first predetermined threshold is met based at least in part on an aggregate number of views of the plurality of items of performance data associated with advertisements,   dynamically generating a first offer of services;   enabling a networked-based communication between the media submitter and one or more users; and   enabling receiving the provision of the services.   
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , wherein enabling the communication between the media submitter and one or more users is provided via the online profile page of the media submitter using voice of internet protocol (VoIP). 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , the operations further comprising enabling performance data to be distributed via a plurality content sharing channels comprising podcasting and text messaging. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , the operations further comprising determining a service level based at least in part on differently weighted interactions related to the media submitter's performance data. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , wherein the first predetermined threshold relates to a ranking of a submitted performance within a first category. 
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , wherein the first predetermined threshold relates to a percentage of submitted positive feedback. 
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , wherein the first predetermined threshold relates to a percentage of submitted positive feedback. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , the operations further comprising monitoring activations related to content, wherein at least one offer is provided to the media submitter based at least in part on the monitored activations. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory memory as defined in  claim 10 , the operations further comprising enabling distribution of performance data via cell phones.
