Some time ago I began thinking over the fact that it seems complaints about lousy media and bad technology fell on deaf ears. It almost seemed complaints were expected and ignored or worse. But after chatting with some friends, I realized that one solution is to promote good work. How many of us know a good author, writer, product, movie, etc.? So I wrote down some tips on promoting it – and I figured the Sanctumites would get be able to put this to good use.
- Boost The Signal – Want to see better technology, comics, and movies? Boost the Signal for good works. The basic philosophy of the series.
- Be The Ambassador – Want to Boost the Signal on someone and their works? You need to be an Ambassador.
- The Basics – Ways to help Boost The Signal most anyone can do.
- Advanced – Ready to take it further? Here’s a way to real dive into helping someone get seen!
- The Professional – A fellow professional? Here’s how to use your professional abilities to help someone’s work you want to promote.
- The Hate Is Built In – It seems critique of media or technology and so on doesn’t work – is it possible because our hate of lousy stuff is built into culture?
