Chris Brogan: New Media Merchants and Marketplaces

· 2 years ago
While other mediums like television and radio have relatively gargantuan budgets, the internet provides a much broader and richer toolset for expression. Aside from being just user-generated, the internet's combination of text, voice, and video is mostly free from regulation and censorship, allowing for entirely new concepts of expression. By itself, this will bring the audience and it is the audience that brings money. For instance, in my normal life, Dell Computers will never have the chance to start a conversation with me. But they do if I watch the Daily Show. I don't pay any money for the Daily Show, but Dell Computers knows I will watch it, along with millions of my peers, so it pays the Daily Show for me. The point is not necessarily that the old system will prevail, but rather that "we" the content generators should concentrate on exactly that, generating content, and the people that want to give you money will figure out how to do it. Quite frankly, capitalism finds a way.

For now, I'm just trying to figure out best practices in creating and distributing content and building an audience. Yeah, one day getting paid to be creative would be great. I don't have the time and energy to figure that part out yet.
As a side note, I loved archery growing up. I had a few stick bows and have always wanted a long bow. I always leaned towards primitive archery. A bow, some arrows, a finger pad and I'd shoot for hours.

@Brogan-I've read many of your posts by now and they all have passion and some meat. This one hit me like a lightning bolt. That "connection" factor when you know the preacher has brought the right message at the right time.
To answer the question you didn't ask(so you don't have to-:)), once people start charging for new media productions via pay method or shoving commercials in there, the user gets much more critical and unforgiving.
Production, content, laugh meter, etc. all get much more scrutiny. I'm not saying this is good or bad-just human.
For those that are interested and don't know Dave Slusher of http://evilgeniuschronicles.org has done several casts and even a PME presentation on this topic.
Lastly, I tend to agree with you Chris-touch people with your "amateur" efforts and give them a sample of yourself. Perhaps later through good karma or someone being touched and persuaded by your work as a window into your character and abilities, other opportunities will come.
