Seminar notes #2: building and audience

i am blogging while sitting in seminar... using wireless service of next-door Starbuck's.

we are in a conference room at BAVC. About 30 people in the room: filmmakers, fund raisers, multimedia artists, marketing professionals, writers...

Kirsner puts on a good show. People energized, commenting...

We stand up and introduce ourselves... I find myself pitching my book Digital Video Secrets to the room. Several writers come up afterward and ask to buy a copy.

Key questions Scott Kirsner is working on... what he is trying to figure out...

1. How do you build a fan base and take it from one project to other.
2. How do you make a living.

While driving to this seminar listened to Kirsner's book Fans Friends and Followers using the Kindle 2 'text to speech' feature.

I am slowly getting an idea of what is going on with social media...

SK spent the last 2 years talking to people who are successfully building fan bases on line, taking the fan base from one project to another, and making a living at their art.
