Hi Fellow Magnifiers...

I know you've heard the news about our new "Pro" service offerings - I  wanted to share with you some specifics about what this can do for you,  and what kinds of Magnify.net users might be able to make use of  this new service.

You,  as the site owner and administrator,  have been asking for more control.  So we've opened up the platform so that you can have more control over you pages,  visitor experience,  and revenue.

First and foremost - we are super excited to announce the birth of the new Embedded Player (with new groovy tools!).  Yes,  it's here.  Play on page,  commenting,  sharing,  related clips... all the smooth deliciousness that  you expect from the Magnify player page,  now tucked neatly into a iFrame widget.

So - check out the new functionality - and start using the player as never before... wherever your heart desires.  And look for more player sizes and features in the weeks ahead.

And - at the same time - we're inviting our sites to "Go Pro!"  with our new Pro-User options.

While we call it "Pro"  really its all about Empowerment.

Because there are a number of ways folks use Magnify,  I though i'd explain how pro works for different kinds of sites and users.

For Community Groups,  Small Sites,  and Ad Sensitive Site Creators --->

There are lots of folks who build on magnify.net and don't ever expect to get alot of traffic.  In fact,  for community groups,  family sites,  or other small not-for-profit uses - Magnify.net can be the perfect way to gather and share videos and community conversations. But it may be you don't like the advertising.

Now you've got a low cost solution.  Simply go "Pro"  an buy out the advertising inventory for $24.95 a month.  It's  a bargain.  You get your site,  the design tools,  your own url (if you set it up),  as well as video uploads and your own embeddeble video player.  As long as your under 5,000 pages you're all set.  If you're doing more than 5,000 pages a month - you can always jump in and buy more page views to keep the ads off.  We'll even email you to let you know if you're approaching your limit.

For sites looking to build advertising based channels -->

Currently,  with AdShare,  you're allowed to have 50% the in-page ad inventory to sell to your clients.  You're not allowed to put ads in the header,  the footer,  or the text boxes.  And there's no way for you to sell sponsorships or guarantee your advertisers that there won't be competitive ads on the page.

Now  - you can "Go Pro"  and have all of these liimitations lifted. You get 100% control of your pages.  You can sell ads,  sponsorships, banners,  buttons, e-commerce.  It's all yours for the taking.  Here,all you need to do is go in and buy out the number of page views you think you'll be serving.  You can always 'top off' your page view purchase during the month,  so you don't need to buy more than you need.  There's no refund for unused pages,  so it probably makes sense to start small and grow as your page views grow.

For High Volume or completely customized Sites -->

Not only can  you buy out the ad pages,  but you can add on contests, and remove Magnify.net's 'create a channel'  and 'about us'  links.   These are features that you've been asking for - and we're happy to give you the control and flexiblity to create a custom experience for our site partners.

Can you say Empowerment? Now you can. Lots of new options,  lots of control,  and costs you can manage with a new secure control panel that assures you're only paying for pages and services that you want.

As always - we look forward to your suggestions,  thoughts,  and ideas. 

Stay Tuned!

Steve,  Simon and the Magnify.net Team
