Promoting Nick's interviews - ideas? :)

Hi guys,

I hope nobody minds me raising this (especially given that this is Nick’s project not mine, so I’m kind-of hijacking, LOL!) - but, whilst I was writing a PM to Nick a few moments ago, it occured to me - is there anywhere else that we could be promoting Nick’s interviews where they might be of interest? :slight_smile:

The reason why I ask this is for several reasons - firstly, because the interviews are awesome, but also because it perhaps gives us an opportunity to promote this site as a whole in places we perhaps might otherwise not have done, thus generating both general awareness of this site and Google hits, etc. :slight_smile:

Now, as awesome as they would be, if all we had was standard TCat fan site interview fodder like Larry Kenney (who, awesome as he is, must have done a chat and/or interview for dozens of websites by now - he’s been interviewed by us three times! :p), I probably wouldn’t suggest this. BUT, Nick has been scoring the first ever fan site interviews with people like Lynne Lipton, Peter Newman, and now Earle Hyman, giving the Internet the most detailed ThunderCats-related interviews ever conducted with these individuals, and as such, I wonder if they may be “newsworthy” to other websites? :slight_smile:

We’ve already done the rounds of promoting these on the other main ThunderCats forums - and, of course the forums on www.he-man.org are a perrennial favourite. But, I was wondering whether anybody here can think of any other forums or news sites where we could send or post up news of these interviews? :slight_smile:

Obviously this idea might be a bit of a non-starter - but, like I say, I thought it was worth throwing out there, and thought it might be worth us chatting about. Hope this is all cool with everyone, and if anyone has any thoughts, LMK what you think! :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

Chris here…

OK, well, since this thread threw up so many excellent responses and good ideas… :wink: (Only kidding!)

Joking aside, here’s one idea I had - could this teaser: http://www.thundercatslair.org/cartoon/about/interviews/teaser.mp3 be incorporated into a video with like a slideshow background and uploaded to YouTube? :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

That’s a nice idea. I’d really like if someone could whip something like that up :slight_smile:

Has everybody had a listen to Nick’s interviews? They’re freakin awesome!

I am really enjoying Peter Newman interview right now, he does some voice impressions of Monkian, and even does an impressive Mumm-Ra!

Man you did really great work here Nick!

Thank you. I’m really proud of the interviews I’ve done - check out the Earle Hyman one (it’s over in the ‘final links’ thread on this forum). We’re releasing it on the 19th December as somewhat of a “Christmas present” and I’m excited to see the feedback and appreciate it. :smiley:

On a note regarding the topic, I plugged it on Facebook and will be blogging all the interviews etc on my account so others can successfully find them. :slight_smile:

Nick,

Could you create audio files of the site promos that you recorded with some of the actors that we could put on the main page, and maybe alternate with the Larry Kenny welcome?

I thought we could write some logic that rotates randomly when visitors hit the main page and they get a random welcome from Peter, Larry or Earl etc.

Mark

Yes! And that’s a great idea :smiley:

I actually do have those available. I’ve uploaded them here:

Earle Hyman - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZKS9JELV

Peter Newman - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AXNT497N

Gerrianne Raphael - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H55L2NN7

Lynne Lipton - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XI2LFDUQ

We discussed the idea of adding the plugs for the website onto the front page - so instead of just Larry’s, we could add others and randomize them. Is this still in the works?
