Fans Of Film Blogging And Community IS ‘Real’

By Michael Palombo
Here is a post I can relate to, I've been working hard for almost a year. It's been the hardest work I've ever loved, as I continue commit, to what I believe is a new model of distribution for filmmakers, that puts the filmmakers first. Fred said it best, "blogging is the realest work hes does" I also like to think of it more than just work "It's an investment" investment in a better future for filmmakers. One that says you make all the profits and get paid first, you set the price, you control the ads on your films, and best of all no contract. The opportunity for filmmakers to take control of their destiny, and spread the art in a way thats more profitable for the filmmakers and the fans.

Blogging And Community IS ‘Real’ Work
Posted November 21st, 2008 by Max
blogging is the "realest" work he does.

He says: "Do You Ever Do Any Real Work? That's a question I used to get all of the time in the early days of this blog. I don't get it so much anymore. Because slowly but surely people are wising up to the fact that blogging is work and it's a very valuable use of my time… the time and energy I've put into this blog for the past five years has built a unique and very sophisticated audience. You are connectors and hubs of influence."

Then he adds: "But in the world of social media, word of mouth and word of link marketing, it is connectors and influencers like all of you that make the difference. And that's one of the main reasons I keep writing, commenting, discussing, and participating in blogs, tumblr, twitter, disqus, and the social media world at large."

I share Fred's sentiments. And as a marketer, I thank him and others for leading with progressive thinking on how businesses and individuals must interact and manage relationships in this age of open connections and online reputation. This is new territory, and he is pioneering by example.

And what about you? Similarly, you, too, are connectors and hubs of influence. Many of you also are my virtual and physical neighbors, friends, colleagues and, often, harsh critics. You share your ideas, build on mine and help shape context in our industry and beyond. You're an important presence in my professional and personal life, which, for better or worse, blurs more everyday. You are why I keep writing, commenting, discussing and participating.
