Actually, Kunga, if you take into account Andrew's post saying that they were looking at CPMs of $50-150/episode (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/32269), that would be approximately:
$50 CPM x 200 (ie. 200 thousand viewers) = At least $10,000/episode $10,000/episode x 5 days = $50,000/week $50,000 x 52 weeks = $2,600,000/year Which means... $50-150 CPM = $2,600,000-7,800,000/year That's even more than what Jeff Jarvis from BuzzMachine.com quoted to the New York Times a couple of months ago. He originally mentioned that RB could sell ads for approximately $8,000/show and make a $2,000,000 annual salary. Of course, if RB wanted to do this full time they may need to hire a small ad production team to keep putting out innovative content. This won't be a problem if they are able to establish a steady paycheck. Heck, I know I'd quit my day job and live off peanuts to join a team like that... As always, wishing them luck in their future endeavors.
