Web series is just like online video marketing campaign. It might take a bit more time to plan out but patience, careful strategy and a dose of fun could produce excellent results. 

Here are 7 guidelines you should focus on:

1. Story is the foundation. Each of the episodes should contain a three-act structure (Setup, Confrontation and Resolution) even if it only lasts a few minutes, but should seem much grander in scale.

2. Targeting a specific audience, directing content towards them and identifying the genre that enjoys that type of thing is your main goal.

3. Dedication and strategic planning are vital. Create a backlog of episodes to supply content efficiently and have a corresponding number of episodes ready to publish while you create others.

4. Be smart and creative using the available resources around you, getting talented and passionate individuals involved, reaching out to professionals that are eager to help and just want the experience.

5. Have a plan, manage people involved and be a decisive leader.

6. Focus on best quality possible. Sound and lighting are the key in creating a professional looking product.

7. Explore all the possible resources to help you with the project. Check out the YouTube Creator Playbook,  Revision3′s Film Riot, TubeFilter.tv and other such blogs for useful video/film tricks on the cheap.
