While there is a growing demand for video content, consumers have not shown a
willingness to pay for the content leading to a primarily ad funded model
Monetization of video content online is primarily through ad funded models
Ad Funded Paid Models
ā¢ Ad rates have been rising
especially for video ads
and are around 400-500
on a CPM basis
ā¢ Challenge: ad rates
remains low compared to
TV ad rates
ā¢ Low willingness to pay for
content compared to
developed markets
ā¢ Ditto TV, launched by Zee
offers premium content
online with monthly
subscriptions starting at Rs
21 per month
Innovative monetization models for video online
ā¢ Sponsorship of entire web property
ā¢ Bundling sponsorships with television
ā¢ Supplementing TV content with online platforms:
ā¢ Using existing TV content innovatively online
The freemium model is expected to become popular in India for music online
ā¢ In India, 90% of digital music revenue comprises of caller ring back tones
ā¢ Gaana.com, Saavn.com provide ad funded streaming services
ā¢ Players such as Flyte, from flipkart, and Hungama offer downloadable music content at attractive prices
ā¢ Freemium models are expected to become popular where consumers get an option between ad supported content or
paying for premium content

Overdependence
on ad revenues
Measuring ROI for
advertisers
ā¢ Lower ad rates compared to
developed markets
ā¢ Ad revenue is shared by platform
providers and aggregators
ā¢ Numerous options for advertisers to
advertise online .e.g Google,
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube
ā¢ Difficulty is measuring returns
accurately
Digital Piracy
ā¢ Digital piracy is a big threat to content
monetization
ā¢ India ranks 4th globally in terms of
illegal movie downloads
ā¢ Content providers will have to build
revenue models that involve
consumer payments
ā¢ Improved targeting through data
analytics
ā¢ Introducing alternate rates such as
charging advertisers only when an ad
is viewed
ā¢ Focus on developing quality content
suited for the medium and educating
consumers on piracy
Challenge Outlook
Overdependence on advertising, lack of systems for measurement of ROI and
digital piracy are the challenges faced by the digital media industry
