Oops
Alright, so i acted a bit hastily yesterday when i sent out my mass email about my new blog. I included an excerpt from the blog and in that excerpt was the exact dollar amount that I have raised. I got an email about 30 seconds later from Mark saying, "Was this for my eyes only or did you actually just send this out to everyone?"
Doyt! (said like Homer Simpson)
Uh, yup - that'd be the latter....everyone. All 400 fans on my list. (Hmm...should I tell how many fans I have? Maybe i should just refrain from ALL numbers).
Ya, in hindsight, telling the world (well, my world) the exact dollar amount I have obtained from my 5 investors was not the brightest move. Why? Well, first of all, it looks tacky and amateurish. I admit, I'm a rookie and I was excited. It was not an undaunting or easy task to go out and get it and well, dammit, I'm kinda proud of myself. The second and most important reason I regret it is it potentially puts me at a disadvantage when negotiating with people I will be hiring along the way (ie: producers). Well, thankfully none of them are on my mailing list. Still, coulda-woulda-shoulda....hindsight is 20/20.
I did remove it from the blog, as you can see. Can't retract the emails, but oh well. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't steal. Things could be worse. I could be Mel Gibson.
