imo waste of time

@PatskyPat @pugson @getaclue Wow!!

So much great stuff here guys. Incredibly helpful.

Interesting hearing the same things crop up again and again. eg. Trellow / QUICK daily calls / enforce style

Love Tags on Github Idea as well. And hearing your whole Trello task management is something I think I'll copy exactly as you explained Pugson :):)

@patskyPay, I'm will check out that you tube video when I'm on the train on Monday. Looks promising :)

Alex, when you say "measure", what exactly do you mean? Are you talking about a productivity metric?

My only follow up question would be, I expect there to only be 3/4 of us. And I also expect the standard of ability to vary a lot. Any advice on how to working with people of very different ability levels?

all sounds great. any progress here?

Hmm. I personally wouldn't. Others might.

Not your traditional "company" but I would choose Arsenal Fan TV
Started off as just fan interviews after football matches posted to YouTube.

5 years later and they have moved into merch, post-game phone in show, massive sponsorship deals.

The three main guys, have all managed to ditch their day job and focus on AFTV full time.
I love the company because its "power to the real people" and power taken away from the suits.

No Meetings ✅
Hard Work ✅
Passion ✅
Lots of Money ✅
No Bullshit Company Politics ✅

5 years ago Robbie the main guy gets out a microphone and starts interviewing fans.
The first video was shit. You can barely hear Robbie's voice. The camera quality was poor.
People were laughing at him.

5 years later he is a millionaire. Fuck the Haters.

eeek.

i thought this could be big.

I'll try and persuade him to get the .io

i didn't think we would be doing tangible awards.
i thought badges could work.

So in addition to patron badge, the user would have a "product of the year" badge for example.

physical awards would be cool for sure. but a fair amount of hassle to organise.

Awesome :):)

The CodePen is great. Thank You!

Will work on implementing this now.

Hmm, I'd be interested to see how well sponsored tweets would work.
I would worry that it may ruin their artistic / indie vibe.

Obviously the key here is to: "Subtly sell to the audience which you've already created"

One option may be to throw ANOTHER product out there of the back of their twitter following.

For example:

a) They could announce a monthly photography competition with prizes and a submission fee to enter. They could use their twitter feed to feed to drive people to their competition and then promote the work of the winners on their twitter feed.

b) Get in contact with a publisher. Tell them you have a massive following and see if they would put money behind you creating a photography book. Then they could sell the book to their audience.

Level 1.
Hopefully I graduate soon.
