I think sustaining audience through storyline and going after niche audiences is pretty well understood around the aspiring web producer community...What the real challenge is (In my opinion) and where there has been a relative dearth of information is distribution at the no/low budget level.
Now I know what your thinking...distribution through destination sites like youtube, vimeo, blogs blah blah blah, get it hyped on digg etc...but there are two challenges there:
it's a seriously manual and time consuming process...not to mention that the web community is not so interested in 'shameless self promotion' (and rightfully so).
2. Most of the info out there only works if your niche is still within the tech geek community. For instance, my niche (hunters) would probably rather turn their guns on themselves than twitter.
Makes me wonder if building an online community is really allthat different than traditional media for those out there who think every show on revision 3 is lame.
