This was a very informative piece. You rarely see the costs laid out so plainly and clearly. Thank you.
damn, thats a lot of money…
i put in about .08 – a dollar per video, depending on whether i eat ramen or a hot pocket..
Very interesting. I would have been curious to see how much some of the ultra low-budget, yet very popular Vlogs are costing such as Mahalo Daily or DiggNation…I know my vlog is costing me roughly $150 a minute and this is just a hobby site (shameless plug: http://huntingwithjim.com)
