Storify: Create stories using social media

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

I requested an invite and I am eager to try it out to see what I can use it for.

How to get the financing?

Crowd-funding

Thinking about doing it?
Crowdfunding is/was one of the industry-buzzwords right now.
But how to do it?

Sheri Candler lists 5 ways of sure failure:

1) You do not already a have a support network online
2) Your goal is unrealistic
3) You do not know who your audience is
4) Your campaign length is too long
5) Just offer tshirts and DVDs as perks. Nothing meaningful or imaginative

Check her whole post here and maybe by avoiding the above mentioned you can come up with a model that works for you…

Or maybe some major brand steps in and helps you realise your project. Read about Converse funding a recording studio in NY – maybe they will open a film studio next?
What would you think of that?

the world is full of interesting things…

and at least a hundred of them are in here.

Or maybe even more.
Depending on you.
Please spare a minute, but be prepared to spend more time on this.
I assure you, you will find something new/inspiring/wonderous/…

See what technology did to media the last year and get inspired for the years to come.
