So! Existentialism project:
I'm still short about $1,500 from my minimum budget on Patreon alone (honestly this is SO MUCH better than I initially expected), so I've been looking at alternative ways to fill in the gap:
- The first was the show getting a budget from a streaming service. Think like, a popular video hosting site with the word "Premium" after it. I'm a huge fan of the budget bump, but not a huge fan of giving up creative control and hiring.
- The second being a sponsor that could both give my viewers a special deal and also, more importantly, be relevant to the series, which is obviously not an easy feat for a topic like this lol.
I already had a "suggested reading" section planned for these videos, and right now I'm closing a deal with Audible as the sponsor to fill that financial gap. Nothing obnoxious at all, just book recommendations and free audiobook credits for my viewers. It's also not an affiliate sponsorship, but a set rate.
So, once that's all finalized and signed, I suppose it's officially a go! I feel like I've put this off for so long that I'm intimidated by my own image of what it should look like. 😅
