Finding Fans on Punkanary – Part 4
Once your first fans have found out about you and come to your Punkanary page, it’s vital to provide them with a good volume of content (not necessarily videos) and interact with them, inviting and responding to comments or questions.
Your Punkanary page is the home of your show. This means you don’t need a website or mailing list or any of that painful stuff. You have a home page in the place where new comedy comes to life. It’s up to you to make yours as good as it can be.
E.g. there could be regular posts in the voice of the characters, creators answering questions from fans, telling fans about plans for making the show and how the fans can help.
Keeping your page fresh and interacting with fans is hugely important. Remember these are the people who cared enough to give you a try on a new platform. They want to hear more from you!
Don’t be afraid to also message all your fans with more info than is possible on the updates board. Email messages are personal, come to their inbox, and can be sent in one click from Punkanary.
If you love a comedy show, how would you feel about getting a funny email in the voice of one of the characters, or being invited to give your thoughts on what they should do next?
Behind the scenes footage is also great because it shows you and your personality. People love to get an insight into how something was made, so let them have it.
Basically this is your page to do what you want with, but the more you engage your fans and entertain, the more they will help you to make and share your show.
Just as with the social channels, the most important thing is to have fun with it. If you enjoy it and find it funny your fans will too.
OK reading over. Time to get cracking on your comedy show!
