What this means is the little guy has a chance to corner the smaller niche audiences with ease through grassroots methods.<BR/><BR/>The trick is getting enough of us on board and willing to put our heads together to come up with viable strategies that fit our goals / needs. <BR/><BR/>I believe the move towards social media, blogs, twitter, youtube, facebook, has shown the elements of "the way". It's full of nothing but data that can be used to mold and monetize whatever it is we want to publish as far as comics and graphic novels go.<BR/><BR/>In theory, we could eventually pool the niche audiences together through cross sections. Like a social network publishing house, content + built in audience.<BR/><BR/>This means potentially a larger audience than the big 2 and while it may not directly compete with older, established entities such as Marvel or DC, it should be more than enough to sustain the little guy that understands the advantages of his limitations.R.
