Projects to do

When a platform changes how videos are recommended, creators can see views fall sharply and have no plan for what to do next.

Local news matters to a community but struggles to pay for itself, because readers expect it free and advertisers prefer large platforms.

Individual creators struggle with editing, sales and consistency, and some join forces without agreeing how work and income will be shared.

A streaming service can grow for months and still lose money if subscribers leave faster than it can replace them.

A small label can back only a few artists, and gut feeling alone leads to expensive misses.

Newsrooms are tempted to use AI for speed, but errors and unlabelled machine text can quickly cost them reader trust.

An independent film can be well made and still go unseen if its makers have no plan for festivals, platforms or word of mouth.

Dubbing a series well takes many hand-offs between translators, voice artists and checkers, and weak steps show up on screen as awkward lines.

A small publisher must decide whether audiobooks will reach new readers or only spread an already thin budget across more formats.

Passionate fans seem like a ready market, but many fan-led merchandise ideas fail because enthusiasm is not the same as spending.

A channel that depends on one platform can lose its income overnight because of a rule change, a copyright claim or the creator's own burnout.

Small podcast networks guess their sponsorship rates, which either scares brands away or leaves earnings on the table.

A video service must decide whether to charge viewers, show ads, or offer both, and each choice changes who it attracts.

Fans watch matches with a phone in hand, yet broadcasters rarely design for that second screen.

A new streaming app in a regional language cannot match the big platforms on spend, so it must win a narrow audience first.

A student festival can lose money or trust when sponsorship, safety and scheduling are handled late.
