What is this?
This is an audiobook extract of my new book (sorry no interview here, but don't pass over it... I think you're going to like this).
Short StoryI want to publish my new book "How To Make A Living By Working For Free".
Slightly Longer StoryHi... my name is Simon. Welcome to my crowdfunding project.
For the past 6 years I've worked in social media. In short this means I write jokes and make images for the internet. The longer story is I build communities through excellent free content that attracts an audience for brands.
For the last 5 years I've been a gigging comedian slowly building a fan base online through free content. I've used the knowledge and skills I've built in my day job to make communities around the different channels I operate in online.
This book explains everything I've learned from obsessively reading, learning and trying to work out how relationships build online, how to build a community around what you do as an artist to find, nurture and grow your community on and offline.
What We Need & What You GetWhat I need from this crowdfunding it pretty simple... money to get the first print run of the book off the ground / get the digital book finalized and ready to go on sale on Amazon.
My target amount is the absolute minimum that I would need to get the book ready for the public. Anything above that would be sales / profit.
I've set up some awesome rewards for early backers, but if there's something you want which isn't available, please email me ([email protected]) and I'll try to make it available for you.
Here's a synopsis of the book -The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.
The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.
If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.
