They built a multi-camera studio, etc. A little contracting in this economic situation was probably inevitable. What surprises me is that they let Epic-Fu and Wine Library go. Those two shows have relatively big audiences. I can't imagine why they wouldn't want those added numbers when trying to close the deal with potential advertisers.

Bill, you're working it like a good small business owner. I can tell you a few reasons why there are few sponsors flooding over to online video. 1. Lack of metrics gathering to gather a good measure of ROI. 2. Media buyers know banner ads, a little paid search, and maybe post-roll and pre-roll buys if you're lucky 3. If you're not a consumer of independent online video content, which most of the decision makers are not, then they have no clue what content to invest their client's money into 4. Both content creators want control, and advertisers want control, and in the end both loose in that partnership. Tim, you hit it on the head man.

I can tell you a few reasons why there are few sponsors flooding over to online video.

1. Lack of metrics gathering to gather a good measure of ROI.

2. Media buyers know banner ads, a little paid search, and maybe post-roll and pre-roll buys if you’re lucky

3. If you’re not a consumer of independent online video content, which most of the decision makers are not, then they have no clue what content to invest their client’s money into

4. Both content creators want control, and advertisers want control, and in the end both loose in that partnership.

I've never been all that ambitious about making money doing this. But I have discovered that there is some ad dollars to be had for local advertisers. So I'm curious why there aren't more locally focused online video properties. Seems to be that niche is what online is good at, not necessarily mass market. But I understand that the mass market is where the big bucks are. Anyway. I've kept my costs very low. Invested most of the money I've made back into my project, always looking to improve. And more importantly, I'm still having fun with it. Which was all I ever wanted to do to begin with. I'm wishing luck to everyone who got put out by Rev3. It's sad.

After the elections the market will settle a tad and the money will flow again. Remember that this is still a new form of media that companies are just discovering, even if you have been in the game for a while keep pushing. I was looking back at films my dad did for corporations (industrial films) in the 70's and he had a whole other set of problems getting money back then. He still did things on the side which are hilarious, so so clever and would have loved the distribution opportunities we have at our finger tips. Just keep creating. This shit happens in waves and the next set will come...... Hunker down… keep creating. After the elections the market will settle a tad and the money will flow again.
