That´s a very good suggestion, in my opinion. These features would attract even more people to GMC.

Sounds like someone's crusading for a badge
It's a great idea but as for attracting the famous talent, that's going to be easier said than done. Sponsorship also has to be worthwhile to the sponsor and I wonder if we are a big enough blip on the radar for that. It IS a good idea none the less. I would've expected more details fleshed in before posting, but still a great start. -------------------- ::jafomatic

Doesn't this mean advertising banner? I think Kris said once they want to keep this site ad free ...

Actually, a tasteful banner someplace wouldn't bother me; it's the flashing/animated (or just plain ugly) ones that become obnoxious. Also, I haven't seen a popup (anywhere) in a very long time.
I do applaud the ad-free policy, but I wonder if there is SOME place that a small ad (even google text ads, also non-obnoxious) would be helpful to GMC without tearing that policy apart. A famous contributor or two would be, I suspect, even more beneficial. How would we go about that? - Is there budget for clinics? - How would the clinics cover the expense of the talent? - How could we entice the talent to hang out and become part of the community? -------------------- ::jafomatic

These are great ideas I hope we will see them in the future of GMC (especially the clinics part!)

Still not sure how to attract sponsorships without advertising opportunities. Perhaps combining those with the clinics, for example "GMC presents the Line-6 something or other clinic with special guest so-and-so" ??
Just playing devil's advocate because I think we're missing some business "glue" in Marc's ideas. -------------------- ::jafomatic

Practically speaking, I think the first thing to do is get the GMC "brand" spread out into more places if we want more memberships (since we're eschewing the concept of ad revenue) to cover the higher operating budget required for hosting clinics.
There are a few incentives already in place that get the GMC name out there already: - referral program - web link program Is there more we can do without being obnoxious? Better tagging on our youtube accounts for the vids we post that are really good? Rating comment the videos our instructors post so that great and attractive videos are seen with the GMC link more often? Should we do that more personal (non "ad" banner) advertizing elsewhere as well? Some folks are maintaining pages all over the place (facebook, myspace, etc) but I don't see us really coordinating these things together or using other contemporary tools (twitter for example). Putting those together to increase membership at the higher price would increase the operating budget and give Kris & Co. more funds to work with --and a stronger brand name-- for some of these projects listed in the original post (and others). So it sounds to me like there's definitely a lot of potential but it may be that someone will have to do some research and planning in order to fully realize them. Sounds exciting -------------------- ::jafomatic

Jafo, great inputs man, I agree 100%. Some new marketing strategies would definitely be something that could prove useful. In what degree, that is a risk to take tho...

We could even use sponsors, as a little extra income for Rock my Web AB?
