I am in the EARLY pre-production stages of a dramatic (horror/Lovecraft) web series.
I finished the script for the pilot a couple of days ago.
My main question at this stage is how do I monetize it? Put it on youtube and beg people to click through the ads so i actually make something? Put it on a dedicated membership website? I'm going to kckstarter the pilot, come back to that well to kick starter every episode? Beg people for paypal donations?
I have a lot of connections to certain online communities that make me think viewership will at minimum be into the thousands, maybe the tens of thousands or even more.
I'm not looking to make huge profits, but the production values I am going for are going to run a couple grand an episode. A complete exercise in futility?
How do you monetize a web series...
Thoughts?
