IDOL REPORT 6/4 from Ian Shires
We’re really hitting on the home stretch now folks, and WOW are the top projects kicking up the dust. How is that Round 4 landscape going to end up? Only one thing certain, anything is possible right now.
My little talk yesterday about looking like people were giving up on the MVA Cover contention, shows that there is still some fight left in the lower positions…today there are only 4 projects that will be seeing back-to back Idol reports…which, really is the sign of a project not using the opportunities before them. If there are projects getting more NEW voters in a day, than you are getting votes in a day, then you aren’t doing something right. There are thousands of people out there that would vote for you if they knew of you. how do you win new fans? As an INDUSTRY, indy comic creators need to get together and figure it out. Our contest here TRIES to create an atmosphere where new people will check out new things. And to some extent, we get that. We have yet to really hit that critical mass of explosive numbers, but, we’re definitely stronger this year, again, than the year before.
To further our DIRECTION: by next year, we’re going to have a separate domain and site set up just for Idol, it’s something many have suggested, and I’ve continued to keep the thought back burnered, cause mainly, I didn’t need to make more work for myself. One of last year’s contestants has shown us a way that we can accomplish it AND decrease workload, so we’re talking and getting some preliminary things set up.
ANYWAY! That tangent aside…yesterday was our BIGGEST TRAFFIC DAY EVER…and we’re well on our way to topping it today…so here are your numbers, get out there, get these eyes looking at YOU, show ‘em what you got. Entertain them.
