That IS a good idea. Plenty of people are still on 56k dialup or don't 
have computers at all.

There is a HUGE groundswell of interest in homesteading, urban and 
rural, permaculture homesteading and urban farming and 80% of these 
folks need videos with 50% of those needing multimedia w/ supplemental 
resources and subscription to downloadable upgraded versions.

This new wave of interest started in the 1960's and has been gaining 
momentum ever since. With access to computers and the web the audience
is in the many millions now. Topics include:

Food production:
livestock
gardening
orcharding
permaculture

Food processing & storage and cooking:
making your own at home
grain production, storage and processsing, baking
fermented products
equipment and tools

Paul could get all sorts of paid sponsors, i.e. sell ads:
Fertrell Fertilizers
Lehmans
Japanese Macrobiotic foods, mail order (Jaffeee Bros.)
Dried fruit sellers, mail order (Natural Import Co.)

Woodworking
Metalworking
Appropriate Technology

Learn Permaculture, learn to teach it, write about it and make 
multimedia, sell online courses in permaculture coupled with
selections of appropriate audio-video, multimedia presentations
Collaborate with existing degreed teachers to produce DVD's to sell
EBooks

the list of commercial possibilities is endless
