Hi,
for my final exam in university I wrote a 30-page paper called:

"The Animator's Internet Survival Guide"

I researched the internet business models of successful bloggers,
musicians, filmmakers, flash-game developers, internet marketers
to create a comprehensive:

ONLINE BUSINESS MODEL FOR ANIMATORS AND FILMMAKERS

• Which qualities does a piece of work have to have to go viral?
• How do you find people online, who value your work?
• How do you expand your audience from project to project?
• How do you earn money online without relying on traditional advertising?
• And how many fans do you need to finance your life?

Every aspect is explained step-by-step and highlighted in-depth
with the help of many examples. I wish that more young filmmakers
realize the enormous potential of the internet to make a living with
what they love to do most: realize their own films!

In the next weeks I'll release "The Animator's Internet Survival Guide"
piece by piece in this thread, because I've made the experience that people
are more likely to REALLY read it, when it is cut into pieces.

Read and share:

The Introduction: Call-Center or industrial visualization?
Chapter I: Your work is the foundation
Chapter II: Build your homebase
Chapter III: Find your audience
Chapter III: The Fan List
Chapter III: Organic Search Engine Traffic
Chapter IV: Deepen your relationship
Chapter IV: Partner websites
Chapter V: Fill the money bin
Chapter V: How much do you charge?
Chapter V: What is the timing of the Pre-Sell during a product launch?
Chapter V: Online Series and autoresponders
Chapter VI: Expand your product range
Chapter VI: Provide a subscription
Chapter VII: Paradise

Soon to come:

References and continuative links



Hope it is helpful!
Martin

Hi schmiddl,

es war nicht so licht der Link zu finden.
Ich wollte Dich nur kurz vorschlagen, der Link irgendwie deutliche machen.

Du konntest bevor der Titel "Link:" schreiben.

Es ist nur eine Vorschlag, weil es nicht so licht einfehlt wo der Link genau liegt. Oder man denk, dass Du der Link vergessen hast.

Auf alle Fälle finde ich schön.

VG,
XBO

P.S. A! Und viel Erfolg!
P.S.2 Wie lange wird online die Dokumentation bleiben? Wirds Du daraus ein PDF erzeugen und zuverfügung stellen?


EN::: post cuted::::
The link is not easy to find. I will suggest you to write "Link:" before the Title.

P.S. Good Luck!
P.S.2 How long you will live the Document online? Are you planing to do a PDF from your document and share also this info?

Hi schmiddl, this is surely a survival guide. I'm on Chapter 4 now and I learned a lot from it. This will surely help me in getting projects and keeping clients. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
