Once you’ve done that you have to find some willing participants who will support and help develop your ideas, preferably for free, this allows you time to find more creative ways to keep your audience amused.

Sound familiar? This is exactly what Andy Warhol did in the sixties, only he used drugs and big parties as payment, today the drug is the internet and the party is a pat on the back.

In turn the audience will fall in love with you (because all entertainers/creators really want is to be loved and/or positive approval of their work) and they will bring you the gift of more people to view and support what you’re doing, which means more ideas to support your crack-creative habit. it’s a classic relationship.

the most important thing is to develop a respect for your viewers or keep your mouth shut about them in front of the media. it’s really no different than being a good politicians.

I blogged <–hate that word, about this, not that anyone reads or takes my advice or doesn’t already know this junk [u can clicky]

*for those who hate this word, if it makes you feel better change “brand” to “personality.” it’s just industry language people still love you.

At first I thought it was because I enjoy them and I’m pretty much out of the mainstream.

Then I realized that it has to be promotion. You can sell anything with money and push; like the presidential candidates.

A good part of your audience came from doing colabs and getting exposure; you really should do and encourage more of those, besides socks and shoes that’s a wonderful legacy you’ve got going.

The pharmaceutical industry has made billions just advertising 30 second spots on the nightly news. So why aren’t these guys biting new, clever and original content? The economy? Because I watch them? Are they really that short sighted? Too sensitive to honest criticisms? Too proud to leave TV? Are we just so over saturated with this crap they have no clue what the fickle public wants?

I think a few reason are the investment big media has made in HDTV (wait until FEB) finding smooth streaming internet applications, securing rights and controls of content and bandwidth; bad news under a Clinton Admin.

I don’t think they want to encourage net use on a mass scale because they don’t have the controls, the full infrastructure and there’s still a few more trillion to suck out of TVLand.

I also think people like yourself will look back on these as the good ol days. We’ll be going retro retro retro soon enough. Enjoy your childhood while you can. Hope I didn’t jinx anything by saying that.

This is still pioneer territory looking for a Ted Turner and Google doesn’t own everything, yet

The Pretenders – Stop Your Sobbing

Subliminal message maybe Kevin? lol

I guess the question I feel compelled to ask is: Have these people attempted to contact any would-be sponsors? Or are we just hoping they’ll happen by your blog by some wonder of happenstance?

I mean its possible that the someone at the Johnson & Johnson marketing division is a huge Nalts fan, but how do we know that for sure? Do you know who your audience is? Really? lol
