yes. Most definitely. Profits split down the middle.
That's a great angle, Jan, having a family member trip your awareness about the stories sitting around you, but it's doesn't just have to be those angles. I could see conferences and expositions being good content for this kind of gig. Parkour, skating, surfing, inline, would probably rock in terms of jamming video. My project, is really focused on training, but the other day I thought of jams and jam sessions, and thought a profit sharing set up might be a good gig for all. Then I read Rosenbaum's article, and thought that the profit share could be a good catalyst for rapid development of independent media. Combine that with local and well placed niche ads, and I think it's a winner for everybody: producer, content creator, vendors and interested viewers. Let me know if you are interested in following up on the project, and if your dad's game, it might be nice to have him on our radio show when we do a herding segment sometime. peace, Ron Watson http://k9disc.blip.tv http://k9disc.com http://discdogradio.com http://pawsitivevybe.com On Jan 7, 2009, at 9:04 AM, Jan McLaughlin wrote: > All right.
