And a Year Later...

Facebook has this interesting feature, called "On This Day" and on it was a link to a blog post I made last year.

It's right here for anyone who is interested http://riskybusiness04.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-past-present-and-future-of-indie.html

Obviously I went camup.tv, and I have to be honest, because of my work schedule and lack of involvement in other shows on there, well, this week I didn't have anybody even stop by the live chat. This has been typical of our shows over there, outside of one or two former regulars who hung out in chat on the other broadcasting platforms, I really haven't seen any interest in the show at all on there except for the folks running the site, we were featured twice the other night and yet, nobody roaming into the chat which tells me that despite the promotion by the people running the site, nobody wanted to check out the show.

In the mean time, I have spent more time on the Indie Spotlight Facebook page and I have to be straight up with you folks, this is where the future is as far as Indie Spotlight goes.

For those that might not know, every day I share a video featuring a musician playing music, most of the time it's an original although there are covers as well.

Over the next several month's, I will be transitioning from the live streaming format, to either possibly a podcast on awdio, or the Facebook page exclusively.

Indie Spotlight is getting either 2 or none as far as live show listeners/viewers. I could spend time on that aspect of our online presence, or do what is working, which is work social media and promote the musicians that way.

So here is the deal, I will continue to do the live show until the end of the year, and hope like hell our statistics go up, and at the same time get ready for plan B.

What is Plan B? Go the podcast route on awdio.com, forget the live streaming format because nobody is checking it out anyway, and spend time on our social media presence and use that to promote the musicians.

Look, I love camup, there are really great folks over there, but I also have to wonder if the live streaming format, at least as far as Indie Spotlight goes, has jumped the shark.

I think it has, time to try something else.

October 2016 Update

Just so everyone knows I update the Facebook page more frequently than I do this blog.

https://www.facebook.com/indiespotlightoncamuptv/

On there you'll find a new video everyday featuring an indie musician, as well as dates and times for the live streaming broadcast.

Because of my work schedule, I haven't been able to stick with a "regular" date and time for the live show. To be honest I'm considering transitioning away from the live streaming broadcast and focusing on the Indie Spotlight presence on social media, and going to an all podcast format.

Anywho, there's your update, see ya next month Bloggers!
