You Need 500,000 Viewers A Month To Quit Your Job & Be An Online Video Star!
That what an executive from Blip.tv said in an article at TVweek.com. “There is a very good chance that people creating shows that reach 500,000 viewers a month or more will be able to go full-time,” Ms. Kaplan said. “I don’t know if you should quit your job, but if you reach 500,000 people a month or more, you will have opportunities to monetize it.” Furthermore… If a show has an audience of only 20,000 people per month, the creator...
