Am commenting because I can, and because I think I am the first for once :) woo do I see a little more of the painting popping out at the back? More please!

Isnt $50 a month selling yourself a bit short? I dont know what the going rate s are at the moment is but that really doesnt seem like that much.. are you going to be adding more than 3 blocks underneath? Best of luck with the monetizing efforts! Go viral make it happen Mr. Perels!

Nice one guys, good luck with selling the spot! It's definitely good value considering the viral nature of the videos..

$50 seems pretty cheap in my opinion. Then again, it is "below the fold" and might only be seen by those who scroll down to comment. Should be a good SEO backlink for design companies. Besides SEO, a design company ad wouldn't make much sense because Obox's ad would always be above the paid ad. - Good luck on monetizing the site, I think you're starting toward the right direction.

@Nathanael - Perhaps but there is plenty of space for an seo optimiser, Wordpress themers, marketing gurus.

Also dont forget that it is not just about being above/below the fold. Advertisers will get mentioned in our show and they will get linked in the timeline. So not only is it visual but also audio.

And just imagine the video containing that advertiser goes viral? Then it won't be 1000 views... it could be 1 million. That is well worth $50.
