Morning Session

Fans, Friends & Followers with Scott Kirsner

10am till 2pm (finishing with lunch)

 Based on the 2009 book Fans, Friends & Followers

Scott's workshop will avoid jargon and, assuming a reasonable level of familiarity with the internet, will focus on how you can:

  • Start building an audience as soon as you commit to your project
  • Use social media tools to get the audience engaged, involved, and supporting your work
  • Choose the communication channels that work best for you
  • Use your time effectively
  • Reach potential audience members in partnership with already-established sites, blogs, podcasts, e-mail lists, and video series
  • Understand the four kinds of fans
  • Build, manage, and geotag your audience database
  • Create a range of merchandise, physical and digital, for fans to buy
  • Turn people interested in your work into fans who support you economically, from one project to the next. 
 Expect to be inspired and challenged, but also armed with practical tips.
  Afternoon Workshop (Optional)

Plan of Action

2pm till 4pm

Scott has agreed to stay around for this extra session and will be joined by one of North West Vision and Media’s team of trained Media Development Professionals; Krishna Stott, Director, Producer and Writer of Interactive Media.

Together they will facilitate a 2hour practical session to enable the ‘conversion’ of the morning’s ‘tips’ into a personal action plan.


 

This is an opportunity not to be missed. Register today for your free place!

 These activities are funded by the Skillset TV Freelance Fund and the Digital and Media Skills Programme, delivered by Northwest Vision and Media in partnership with Skillset, and supported by the North West Development Agency.
