Final decisions on website, log & social
(a)DDL_020_ Much harder that initially thought!
Daily Activities
For the past couple of weeks I have been laboring on how to set the Dimday Red site. log, social and other side-activities (like the Wattpad stories) to work together, complimenting one another. I tried various ways to implement the log, making it members only or combining it to my Buy me a Coffe account.
In the end it decided to open everything to everyone, as building comradery and community is more important than a couple of bucks in support.
Intended Results
To get the optimal collaboration through all DDM's online presence.
Actual Results
A lot of time invested in trying out different options.
Time Spent
Several hours a day for a couple of weeks.
Tips
Having a consistent online presence can be very valuable but also very time consuming.
In my experience there are no silver bullets and you won't know what's best if you don't try a couple of options.
As you wouldn't publish a game without testing it, I believe it is important to test how people react to your promotional actions, before you invest too much time in them.
You may be one-man-banding the whole thing, but if you can get some help running your online presence it could prove invaluable.
