Blog#6 1000 what?

I think that society wants to see things in a different light. Robert Rich is a believer that is very creative in his thinking. He states he only has 1000 fans that love his music and understand him as an artist. That is kind of weird to understand but once he dissected his reasoning it really makes a whole lot of sense. He once said and I am not quoting just summarizing what I got out of his story is that he just wants to create awareness to people stating that out there in life there are a lot of bumps in the road to get him where he wanted to be but maybe their was a doubt in his mind that he might have took on a bigger task then ever before to become who is today. Risking it all to do what he loves. I can’t be certain but there are bits and pieces in his talk that to me is the red flag of doubt. But at the same time the awareness is forever there in between the lines. It is weird to categorize his life to knowing that from all across the world he only can calculate that he has only 1000 true fans he feels in his heart that they reach out to him the way he wanted them to. But what if he has more friends out there and he just doesn’t know he has and what if they just are all his fans. Does it really matter if their downloading his songs? It simply means they like him. If their not downloading his songs it either means they don’t know he exists or they don’t like him. Does the market flood itself by advertising a perception of what people should buy? Yes we are taught to persuade you that a product is the necessity for everyday life. I think advertisers have some means of making people go a little crazy but how would we get you to buy the product? It takes a lot of time to build a concept that is suitable to the viewers. They have to go through I think 4 or 5, I might still be wrong but that’s how many government regulations they have to go through before they land themselves a million dollar deal. You could have an idea and by the time their done dissecting it your idea is still there but its beat to a pulp and the concept stinks but you have to use it because it just cost time which you don’t have to produce the ad. It seems like this concept can apply with this fan study. You want to make people like you and but at the same time jumping is easier than walking. So what I am trying to say is that once you figure out a concept and you did jump and took that leap you can start to understand your fan base and make it better.
