a quick help for ca..get a free download...info on the first educational upgrade too

**Jason Manley** · May 24th, 2009, 11:41 PM

Hey all,

One of the main points we heard was that the ca downloads could do better if we did a better job getting the word out so there were more sales to support the growth of the community and our new educational programs we are launching soon.

I thought that if we enlisted the folks here who know the net best..and I know all of ya do...that we could see better results and reach our goals faster.

On that note...here is how you ca members can help:

For example...I am planning on doing a live streaming color theory series starting very soon...but we have some expenses that have to be made first. The new tech, systems, and such are not free. The live lecture series is going to be higher end than the downloads as you will get direct time with the instructors. You will need a good internet connection but I have tested the system this week and it flows like butter between here and the UK and here and San Fran. More tests to do this week.

Thanks for the consideration you guys. It is like membership drive time for the public radio. We are doing what we can to make things better around here and any support is appreciated.

I'll try to be a bit subtle about it, maybe posting it along with an update of my work (does that count?) since a lot of, if not all of, the forums I go to have a fairly strict anti-advertising policy (including this one if I'm not mistaken)

I'd suggest for others to for the same, maybe posting in established threads. If people are introduced to the CA downloads by a new thread that's quickly locked it may not be the best advertising.

i don't go to other websites though

Well i get a fair amount of traffic on my DA page and I'm sure other artists as well. We could have a journal that links to the downloads and we can do little reviews of each one that we've downloaded and watched stressing of course the unique opportunity to own such great learning vids for so little.

Just posted a journal about it on DA.

Twitter and blogs. Those of us with blogs can put up a banner. And why doesn't CA or Massive Black have a Twitter page? But I'll certainly "tweet" about it!

I'll put it on my website portfolio too, since people are actually looking at it now. yay!!

There we go! Man, trying to promote on Twitter is fun! o_o Hope you get the PM, Jason!

Is there a youtube preview for the painting ladies video? I just downloaded that one so it's the freshest one in my mind. I don't see one in the youtube channel. Seems better to link to that for promotional purposes than a thread in a forum.
