    Advice for Driving Traffic?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Umm ok there are some reviews that are contributed that are less disc-focused. We have several reporters so sometimes they lose the point in their reviews. There are many many many reviews that discuss the special features, and sound/picture quality more so than a single sentence that you...

    Advice for Driving Traffic?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    It is supposed to be the best quality, but there are many transfers that don't do a very good job with sound and picture. (Look up the sapphire release of Gladiator) And some have decent special features and some have none or very little special features.

    Advice for Driving Traffic?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Our target would be movie buffs for sure, but more specifically people who are are interested in viewing and buying blu ray movies and DVDs. The reviews are based on picture and sound quality as well as features. We aren't targeted toward theatrical release at all so I don't really think the...

    Thanks so much for the suggestions guys :) We are doing facebook ads now. (Just started on Monday) We also have a facebook and twitter page which is helping. My wife was the managing editor of the online publication for Video Business so she's familiar with SEO stuff and has been doing it...

    Advice for Driving Traffic?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    My wife and I started a dvd/blu ray review site about six months ago. She worked at Video Business (a Variety sister publication) and they were shuttered at the beginning of this year. So she and a co-worker started a review site because they already have the industry contacts and they're...

    Advice for an Artist?

    Thanks very much andviv :) I never thought of doing a book. But that's a really good idea. I don't really know why I didn't think of it before actually. I have a degree in journalism, and I've been published in several magazines and newspapers before I started working in the visual effects...

    Advice for an Artist?

    Hey MJ, sorry I missed this the first time I read it, my demo reel is basically a visual resume. A collection of work I've done to show prospective employers. As for hiring me, well sure :) Let me know what you had in mind.

    Advice for an Artist?

    Thanks again guys :) I'm 37 so you've got a few years head start on me vr4playa. As for cost, my demo reel is a span of about a year's worth of work so I'm not even sure what it would tally. I would say for the studios I worked for it would be in the hundreds of thousands, and perhaps more if...

    Advice for an Artist?

    Thanks very much :) I'll check out that book, sounds interesting. Yeah I read fanocks2003's success story. Amazing... it's incredible that someone that young could achieve so much so early on in life. I'd really like to be able to translate what I do into some kind of business venture not...

    Advice for an Artist?

    Thanks very much :) As for bringing it to the masses, I kind of already do in a way, just not a profitable way I suppose. I get 30-50k hits on average on my site a month. But I don't sell anything on there, it's just basically my portfolio and demo reel. I've had much more traffic after...

    Advice for an Artist?

    Hi guys, I found this forum and have been reading and reading and reading hehe. I've been trying to come up with an idea for my own venture, but it seems like most of you guys who are successful at your own business seem to be in marketing, real estate, or other forms of sales / numbers driven...

    How to Get Things Done

    I've never had a to-do list, on paper anyway. I usually have all that stuff in my head, although having it on paper might help me to focus on one task at a time rather than thinking about all of them at once. Thanks for the post :)

    How To Find A Mentor

    I've sort of mentored people before in the visual effects field, but as SteveO said, more often than not those people who were and are successful are people that probably would have made it anyway. They had a goal, were driven to the goal, and achieved it. They were always willing to listen...

    Five types of People

    That's a very interesting and simple way of dividing things. I'm from the "middle" but I'm hoping to reach the "Upper" and teach my kids how to generate :)
