Seriously, Beau Smith has worked in marketing for years and knows his stuff. Regarding my Myspace rant, he e-mailed me with this to say:
As far as MySpace….it’s it yet another marketing tool, but one that a guy like me has to hit and hit hard now while it’s still in the news and new people…that don’t read comics….are getting on it.
It’s worked rather well for me so far. I’ve made some very good connections with new film makers and folks in the music biz. It’s giving me a braid base of new people to add to my rolodex of power.
You find with your main domain that after a while the same people come by, but if you go out and troll for new ones it makes a difference.I look at things like MySpace as a steering wheel to get em’ to my main page.
OK, Beau convinced me. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to have a central spot to gather all of my many sinister soups into one spot. I’ll start a MySpace page when I have time. I imagine that’ll be around 2008.
