Back of the envelope calculations ;) Video pre roll ad rates ~$10 per 1000. Let's say you directly realize half of that. Or $50 per day. So $50K represents about 1000 days (3 years) of passive income, at zero growth. So its decent. Pro

There was a brief "Golden Age". I want to say around 2005 or so. When you had a proliferation of MP3 music blogs such as "Hype Machine". All with distinctive curatorial voices and great taste. And all distributing their

Good long read. With a real world example of a startup called Hubble Contacts pursuing their distribution strategy through Facebook ad microtargeting and Instagram promotions. Nice blueprint for managing a small team with limited resources.
