Thanks! Yeah, getting sponsorship is great. I'm grateful, even though it's not a lot of money. I know this: the next round of vids will be worth much more. Probably double. My show is sponsored by the well-funded Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Corporation (http://gophila.com) and their 'hip' what's-happening-now blog http://uwishunu.com . For them it's all about image and promoting the city as a fun place to be. We're getting money for 24 episodes.
I'd say for anyone to videoblog full time, it depends on their circumstances. Me, I'm a young (relatively!) starving artist. I'm used to living on a super small budget. But I'm gettin' married to my co-creator, Audrey in the Fall. I'm sure I'll need a bigger budget then! Ultimately, I'm looking to balance out what I'm doing professionally. Video blogging is only part of that.... --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Bill Cammack" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey Mark. I just watched your Episode #6 for reference.
