Great idea! I read the blip blog and didn't understand one part, though... "Where do we go from here? The sky's the limit. Advertise t-shirts and other merch directly related to your show. Throw up some amazon.com affiliate links. Make money the old-fashioned way!"
Does that mean in the future you can put in multiple images that link to different sites at the end of one video, or multiple links in the same image? Thanks!
