Can you tell I’m feeling a bit emboldened now that I am a Media Mogul?  I can see a difference in the way doors are opening up for me.  They’re swinging open left, right, and all around me.

Within the past two weeks, I have launched my own social community, created two YouTube channels, produced and distributed five videos, had politicians cave to my demands, covered my first presidential campaign rally, had my first government leak, fielded emails from as far away as Australia, and have become personally acquainted with the local press.  

How much did it cost me to launch my media empire?  About $25.  That’s right, I reached “medial mogul” status for less than the cost of tank full of gas.  I’m not kidding.

So what’s my secret?  I’m connected.  Oh, and I developed a strategy that involved Ning.com’s free social community platform, YouTube’s free global video distribution, my MacBook Pro’s software, and my digital video camera.  The only cost I incurred was paying a minor monthly fee to remove Google ads from my Ning site.

Check out the 150+ member social network I launched to persuade the local school district not to relocate their high school softball complex to the recreation fields at our nearby elementary school.  Or watch three videos we produced to raise awareness and make our point.  [Keep in mind - I have no programming skills, no website development skills, no videography training, and full agreement that I belong in business development - not on the production studio team.] 

If that’s what I can do by myself, imagine what an aspiring organization like yours can pull off when it partners with the true digital media experts we have here at Mediasauce.  

What kind of revolution do you want to start?
