Anyone who’s already finished their Xmas shopping is an overachiever! Okay so I obviously “planned” to write this post a little earlier. I even planned to write it last year. ;) Giving gifts can be really hard, but if you really know someone, it’s much easier. Everyone is different. POLL. Extra: Get it on tape—not literally. Get it on bits.

“Decide an important action + encourage fans to do the action.” There are three phases according to Vinson: Attract fans from social networks a.k.a. “outposts.” Engage them with a “compelling fan experience.” Sell through simple calls to action. Have one concept per page—one call to action. “Artist websites emphasize an artist’s own brand.”
