Ever had a great idea, and then began to doubt yourself?
Or maybe you have already executed on that great idea, but inherent to run. Maybe it's an article or eBook or completely new concept of the site.
How can you be sure that it will work? You should ask for feedback?
I'll answer both questions in this article, but first I should tell you a couple of stories from the worlds of music and film nutty.
Let's start with a band called Wilco.
In 2000 and early 2001, Wilco recorded a selection of songs for her fourth Studio album.
Signed to Reprise Records (a subsidiary of Warner Music), the Group continues to move away from the roots "alt country" to a more experimental sound of alternative rock.
This has made people in the reprise nervous. After the major top-level dishonor guy named Mio Vukovic was appointed to monitor progress on a new album and suggestions.
Let's just say that Vuckovic was not much impressed by what he heard, and Wilco was not very impressed with his proposals. This led to the band unceremoniously canned food labels.
Wilco contract negotiation divorce from Reprise. Part of the deal enabled the group to deal with the master tapes and full rights to unreleased songs.
The Group was down but not out.
Before we get back to Wilco, let's take a trip to Hollywood.
"Nobody knows anything" is the most famous line from the book adventures in the screen trade by screenwriter William Goldman.
That's because it's true.
Goldman didn't say (contrary to popular belief), Hollywood (exclusively) filled with idiots. It means that before the release of the film, no one has any real idea of how well will do the movie.
Smart people in Hollywood look for authors, producers, and directors who have a proven knack for being right more often than wrong. Because this is the best you can hope for.
The same is true for anything intended to entertain, educate, delight, motivate or move people. The best thing you can hope for is your best guess and do your best work.
This, as online content marketing works, too.
Welcome to the media business.
This is not to say that people will not have views on the viability of your ideas.
Oh boy will ever have. Everyone has one of those, right?
Let's go to Wilco.
Later in 2001, Wilco, Jeff Tweedy decided to stream the album without a home "from the team site.
This step was partly to curb piracy leaked mp3s, but it will also decide if they liked the collection of songs, known as the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot fans.
People like it. But it's not all.
Suddenly, over thirty record labels offered to sign the group. Wilco went with Nonesuch.jsp Records, which ironically is also a subsidiary of Warner Music (which says the music business screw up?).
Here's what happened next:
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco's highest charting album, even though the team won two Grammys for his next album.Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is Wilco's best selling album, although the status of the group grew with subsequent issues. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot topped numerous critics "best album" lists in 2002 and was named one of the 100 greatest albums of all time magazine Q.Nobody knows anything ... except for the audience.
This does not mean that you don't have to do your research.
This does not mean that you should not think it relentlessly.
This of course does not mean that this particular ideas you will succeed.
Here's what it means:
Online are the guardians of the gate you are close. That's why so many so quickly changed social media and why you might not have the opportunity of your life. the audience decides that it is through the Council, in film, music, books and any other form of content that is produced by the imagination of a determined person or group. He was always so, but now the relationship directly with Internet feedback Consider and apply the basics, but ultimately understand that your boss, your spouse, your colleagues and friends in high school don't know anything. This also applies to me and all those who give advice.You can never absolutely, positively know until you put it there.
Go ahead ... all we are waiting for the next exciting thing.
