Direct-To-Fan Distribution Church
Sunday January 20, 2013, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM MST
From comedian Louis C.K. to filmmaker Kevin Smith to musician Beck – the upcoming year will continue to be an explosion of Direct-to-Fan Distribution (#D2F). The D2F model bypasses traditions and lets the artist create interest in their work directly with fans, market directly to and develop relationships with those fans, sell directly to and monetize those relationships, and use those relationships to expand their fan base. Sounds like a lot of work? It is.
