It was recently brought up by my co-creator Jeremy about what happens next. I have been operating under the thought that we would end on Thursday, December 7th. We got to talking about the project, and here is what we came up with: Benefits of ContinuingWe’ve only given the project 2.5 months to get off the ground. That is very little time. And we put in no resources into advertising. That being said, our 33-subscriber count makes sense. One benefit of continuing would be giving the channel time to grow. Perhaps we could see some more growth. DifficultiesTime Probably our biggest issue is that of time. Hopefully, Jeremy and I will have jobs come the new year, and our typical filming from 7:00 am – 9:30 am won’t work anymore. Also, I would not be able to edit half of the videos, because I’ll be at work. Editing Not only will I not have time, we will need an editor to be very committed to the project. Therefore, we would need to invest money into paying an editor for the bi-weekly videos. It’s not great since we will probably not see a return on investment. But I think the reason Impending Location Change We will not be able to use our location forever. Jeremy is moving out of the condo we currently shoot in in March or April. This means we will need to find a new location to shoot in, one that we can both get to easily. This will not be a walk in the park. Plan of AttackFirst off, we need to pray & see if we really want to do this. If so we’ve thought of some possible solutions to the aforementioned conflicts. Time We can shoot on Monday and Wednesday nights after work. While it might not be the most recent news, we try to cover news you probably wouldn’t hear otherwise, so if it’s 12 hours later than before, I think that’s okay. Editing We would need to set aside a set amount of money per episode to pay an editor. They would have from 10pm Monday(/Wednesday) until 3pm on Tuesday(/Thursday) to finish the episode, set it to upload, etc. The only way I could see finding someone that committed to the project would be to pay them. Impeding Location Change We cannot fully plan for this until we see where we are both living in the next six months. SO all we can do about this one is pray. Final ThoughtsI think it would be awesome to keep going. It is a lot of work though. There is a big time commitment and with us having to pay an editor, there is a financial investment beyond the initial $100 each. It is something that I still feel I need to pray on.
