Crafting A Successful Web Series
The rise in the popularity of the Internet and improvements in streaming video technology mean that producing and distributing a web series is relatively cheap by traditional standards and allows writers/producers to reach a global audience who can access the shows 24 hours a day. But just because budgets are smaller doesn't mean there's room for sub-par quality. As in all media, concept, story, and production planning are still king.
It's reported that a web series like "Ask a Ninja" pulls in $100,000 a month in advertising, sponsorship, and licensing revenues. Sharp writing, funny characters, and Internet savvy are key to its success - and key to the success of many other web series. Does your web series have what it takes to make it? Don't consult your crystal ball, consult a professional!
