Wow! We’ve been working on this one for a while. Debating if this was the right move or if we should go a different direction with the site. In the end I think this is going to be a great thing. What is it? Why epic of course!

Post shows 2.31 through 3.04 are online and available for epic subscribers. We’re also in the process of adding some outtakes to one of the daily shows, and of course we will be adding even more content as time goes on. Spacevidcast epic won’t be just post shows, but hopefully a ton of really great content over the years and years you’ll keep your membership!

Spacevidcast epic will help us do things like go to conferences, add new gear to our lineup and be able to afford more advertising of the site which will hopefully bring in even more live members for shows! Not a lot of people think about how expensive all this stuff is! For example, we would like to go to SpaceUp, SxSW and ISDC 2010 to bring you live coverage of each. Each conference will cost us a minimum of $1,500 just in travel expenses! Some conferences like SxSW are closer to $3,000 due to a longer duration and more expensive flights/hotel. For now we have to pick and choose only one conference to go to because we simply can’t afford to go to multiples. It is our hope that we will be able to bring on 150 monthly subscribers (I think that is a reasonable number) to help offset those travel costs. At 150 subscribers we’ll bring in enough to pay for travel to each venue, and you’ll get great epic content!

To help achieve this goal we have also set up an affiliate program. Once you’re an epic subscriber yourself you can give out your affiliate link to anyone you like. Should someone sign up under your link then you will get a 10% kickback for their order, as long as they have the order. So if you bring on 10 monthly subscribers, then your monthly membership will in essence cost you nothing! You will continue to get 10% of each member you bring on so long as they continue to pay. The more people you bring on, the more you make, there is no cap! You just need a PayPal account that we can deposit the money in to!

I would like to do a big push to get epic out in the wild right now! We have both SpaceUp and SxSW coming up really close to each other. In order to be able to do both I would love to hit the 150 member mark by February 15th, which is only a couple of weeks away! Not an easy goal to reach, but completely possible with your help!

I hope you all enjoy epic, and as with any aspect of the site I welcome your constructive critisism. E-mail us at epic@spacevidcast.com
