The Animator's Internet Survival Guide

For my final exam in university I wrote a 30-page paper called "The Animator's Internet Survival Guide". I researched the internet business models of successful bloggers, musicians, filmmakers, flash-game developers and internet marketers to create a comprehensive online business model for animators and filmmakers.

Which qualities does a piece of work have to have to go viral? How do you find people online, who value your work? How do you expand your audience from project to project? How do you earn money online without relying on traditional advertising? And how many fans do you need to finance your life?

Every aspect is explained step-by-step and highlighted in-depth with the help of many examples. I wish that more young filmmakers realize the enormous potential of the internet to make a living with what they love to do most: realize their own films!
