Intrigued by Rocket Boom - Independent No Budget Broadcasting Vlog

May 12, 2006

While doing my daily dose of research I cam across this very interesting article in Wikipedia on a daily produced video blog called “rocket boom”. I downloaded the show and it’s not much to look at and I don’t see myself becoming a regular view, but what’s so fascinating about this show, is that number of subscribers they were able to build on an almost negliable budget.

Each video is downloaded 250,000 to 1 million times. Isn’t that crazy? And it’s produced with a regular home video camera. It’s hard to image that, 250,000 downloads EVERY DAY.The broadcasting revolution is well underway. Maybe I should produce a show. “Solomon’s take at 11:00.” Just kidding I’ll stick to filmmaking, writing, and web design, but who knows. I will say I would attribute a lot of their success to an amazing consistency. The show is released EVERYDAY at 9:00am and has been for years. That’s a lot of consistency.
