Possible sponsorship deal (Patreon)
Content
As you can imagine, I get offers all the time to place advertisements of various sorts in my videos, but so far I have resisted. One reason I have resisted is that the adverts were for things so unrelated to my channel that they were often ridiculous (one was for a brand of shampoo!). This one, though, is different. My viewers are the sort of people who like watching videos on-line and perhaps learning about history, and this company does learning videos on-line, many of which are about history, so it is tricky to imagine ever getting a more relevant sponsor.
I would put the advert towards the end of a video, and it would last in the region of thirty seconds, which would be skippable.
But, I wonder, would this annoy my patrons greatly? I would rather have your consistent and enthusiastic support than money from commercial sponsors. On the other hand, the money I am being offered is very substantial - about ten times what I would normally get for a video.
So, I am consulting you, the people who count most to me, before making a decision on this one.
