The idea that was brought up toward the end of today’s lecture about using web applications such as you tube as marketing tools interested me
Sites which everyones familiar with; you tube, my space, facebook ect are readily being used as marketing and advertising tools. For example many people create facebook accounts for their business. The example used in the lecture was film makers and actors uploading their video on you tube are advertising their skills for anyone in the world to see. Many actors in these short, home made films are now working actors and have small internet film projects to partly thank for their success.
I find it pretty great that anyone of any age, race and background can promote / advertise themselves of the net. Other forms of communication such as tv, radio marketing cost a fortune and have all sort of stipulations. Self promoting on the internet is free or very cheap. Definitely something i will keep in mind for the future, especially if i work a freelancer.
