Guest Post: The Net Helps People Do What They Love
This is a guest blog post from Adam Richardson of Netstars. Check out his site and his IndieGoGo Campaign too.
The convergence of high speed internet, exponentially faster computers, and user generated content is drastically changing the mass media industry. How we get our entertainment and information is being transformed as we speak. Consumer expectations and consumption habits are changing drastically. The new digital era has helped turned passive consumers into creators of their own media experience.
Technology advances always bring new challenges, but they also frequently present us with new opportunities. Digital media can only be expected to continue to pervade all aspects of our lives. Creation and distribution of content have been revolutionized and continue to evolve before our eyes.
If you are an aspiring musician, writer, photographer, filmmaker, or any other creative type trying to get discovered, then the Net provides you a great opportunity. Selling on the Net makes it easier than ever for you to find customers for your niche and for your customers to find you. You can use the Net to sell directly to customers. Online marketplaces help connect you with your buyers and makes it easy for everyone.
So, there is no need for a publisher, record label, or film studio to take most of your earnings anymore. After realizing this I created Netstars.com to help creative people cut out the middleman. Now digital creators can connect with buyers, get recognized, and be able to make a living doing what they love.
