New Case Study Here: Beginning a Viral Marketing – The Moviepals Manifesto

Open Cinema Manifesto

Submitted by support on Sat, 06/26/2010 – 22:46

The world of cinema is changing. Digital technology, online distribution, and the power of social media are fueling a revolution in the way we tell stories.  You are a part of this revolution and an active player in deciding what movies, music, and art mean to you, how they’re made and who profits.

Meritocracy Trumps Seo | The Rules Have Changed Again

Believe it or not, it is a documented fact that I reserved socialmediasystems.com and  .org for $8.95 each in the spring of 2007, and everyone asked me:

A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience - Oliver  Wendell Holmes
(CC Wikipedia | ‘A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience’ – Oliver Wendell Holmes)

“Why did you call it social media?”

As silly as that question sounds today, it was legitimate only three years ago.
I answered: “You will see soon enough.”

But this heads up is  not about me, or the past: it is about today, and the future:

First a Wikipedia definition:

” Meritocracy is a system of aristocratic or oligarchical government[1[2 or other organization wherein appointments are made and responsibilities assigned to individuals based upon demonstrated intelligence and ability (merit), evaluated using (frequent) institutionalized examination.

This is opposed to other value systems, where reward and legitimacy is based upon possession of wealth (plutocracy), origin (aristocracy), family connections (oligarchy), property, friendship (cronyism), technical expertise (technocracy), seniority (gerontocracy), popularity (representative democracy), or other historical determinants of social position and political power.”

Mother-site is needed – Modern Facelift Integrated

MyTradeAmerica.com, the  Los Angeles broker for the dobarter.com network,  largest business barter exchange network in the world, wanted to integrate a modern look and feel and some not so secure social media bells and whistles to integrate with the very large, old, secure dobarter.com system.

The ASP programmers on the other end who administer this huge database were very helpful: now what we did here: dobarter face lift

This can be done over and over again very inexpensively: you can choose form thousands of templates to pick a look and theme, the we can do a makeover integrated into the Dobarter.com system to feed your business and modernize your look! >>>>more here online about Business Barter and re-skinning old database sites without compromising security >>>>

Shameless Plug:

Stunning!  That is the effect that right picture can have on a memory, a moment, a dream, a reality.

To have the ‘what it takes’ to go after professional photography as her career and put herself through college was impressive enough:  I challenge anyone to describe her work as anything other than stunning.  On top of that, she is actually already in her chosen occupation making a living freelancing for wedding pictures as you see here in the Portland Oregon area.  She chose her goal and she achieved it; already at the ripe old age of 28!  It goes to show: hard work and real talent are always employed doing what they love!

It is time again, in on July 4th, 2010 to redefine the ‘down and dirty’ low down on who what where how and when for social media marketing and advertising campaigns:

There are revolutionary changes in the way people find their way to all media – it is a user-driven media

Interactive media means just that: that there is a two way conversation going on between the consumer of the content and the content producer: putting artist or author, critic or poet, advertiser and target market,  manufacturer and consumer constantly in touch with each other  in real time.  The media becomes a user-rated distilling process where the best prose, video, and other media find their way to the top of the pile through the distribution system itself, which is modern organic search influenced by the depth and the breadth of what I like to call “organic media” – large amounts of perfectly formatted and robust user-generated, user-filtered, user-rated content exists now, and with existing audiences by way of social media marketing through niche communities and groups.  I can get to exactly whom I want to  reach out to with the right content that they are looking for online: the “black hat” search marketers and spammers of the last ten years in this new media are now being replaced quietly by a new breed of content producers and distributors, circumventing main-stream channels and creating a new marketplace:

The proverbial cheese has moved:

  • As the media driven society evaporates the society-driven media appears in it’s place!
  • Huge transfers in power and wealth and influence are taking place accidentally, changing the landscape of media and the marketplace forever
  • In a user driven, user filtered,  user-rated, user distributed (sometimes called ‘viral)  media, THE VALUE OF THE CONTENT DELIVERED UP TO THE CONTENT CONSUMER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR
  • The race is well underway already to capture little cyberspace acres of niche communities.  While large main-stream media are finally experimenting with tightly controlled user comments, a next generation of internet billionaires are already reading the hidden grail in these niche communities and online neighborhoods,  and they are literally building to suit the properties that will pay them ‘triple-net’  for many years to come.

What to do about it:

  1. Pick a niche
  2. Research the appetite of the target content consumer
  3. Become the source of that content

The Big Problem – what is it and how will you solve it – lessons from the 80s

In the 1980’s,  I was involved in the Venture Capital industry; I actually earned a living for 6 1/2 years when there were no jobs by helping entrepreneurs raise money for start-up projects by way of private placements of common stock in non-public (private) companies.

NOD IdeaPals offers two $50,000 prizes for beta testers

IdeaPals is the evolution of an inspiration transforming into a thought, then an idea into a reality. It is about users, and content, and websites, and humans, and machines. It is about collaboration, in person, remotely, and from across the world.

The inspiration for Ideapals.org sprouted from IdeaBlob and Bloblive. IdeaBlob and Bloblive were social networking sites, basically a blog for business ideas. They were sponsored by a east-coast based bank called Advanta, that wanted to issue credit cards to entrepreneurs and small businesses, so Bloblive was born, with cameras, live feeds, local media representatives, and an uncanny ability to get on the front page of Twitter every time. The idea was that the press and other online and media exposure would cause ideas to get funded. Unfortunately, Advanta went bankrupt and the very popular Bloblive could not adjust to a user-paid revenue model quickly enough, so it failed.

Solomon, CEO of MoviePals and IdeaPals, developed an open-source type model for film-making, while utilizing advances in bandwidth and storage technology to make it possible for novices and professional all over the world to collaborate and make films.

Together, Solomon and Brian Bentow founded Moviepals Entertainment – based on the press and notoriety Solomon had gained from his low-cost film-making ventures and the extensive press and buzz created for that aspect of the business by Bloblive, including write-ups in the Los Angeles Times, and a host of others, including National Public Radio (NPR). MoviePals.org recieves over 1,000 unique visitors a day and this is only the beginning.

the press in spreading across the internet like a virus image

For what would cost millions only few years ago, IdeaPals.org, the website that offers jobs, networking and even hosting social events, was built by Solomon Rothman and Brian Bentow in two months, due to modern day technology and collaboration.

hotpotato who got the hot potatoTHE ROTHMAN LETTER | QUARTERLY REVIEW

In this somewhat quarterly rant, I will endeavor to enlighten you (and myself) about what is going on from the twenty thousand foot level on the Internet and in the world.

INTERESTING NEWS:

According to Google, we are the number one social media advertising agency in the world (Adweek.com is a well known magazine, not and agency.)

I have been talking about his for a while:

http://socialmediasystems.com/blog/interactive-agency-renenue/

This is significant because we are not really a conventional agency, and there are larger competitors: the point is that conventional agencies do not understand the Internet:  Adweek.com, the only website higher than us on this prestigious search, did so with this article from 2008;

http://www.adweek.com/aw/content_display/news/digital/e3id13cf7c770b633b60456549756b829bc

How fitting!
