While doing some research on recent successful documentaries, I came across a site called Box Office Mojo. This site has some pretty good projections towards Box Office Sales. I wanted to dwell more into the dvd sales, however that data is not available on this site.

Blogging - has some great audience base. To actually make a documentary that can capitivate an audience to actually go watch it might be a different story. However if there can be a documentary about kids collecting Paper Clips, I believe there is a huge market for blogging. Murderball and Rize really open the public to a discourse community. It really shed light to the unknown. An Inconvenient Truth and Fahrenheit 9/11 took a strong view point to convey a message that change needs to happen. All these documentaries listed below have been successful in their own right.

Here are some of their Domestic Gross Sales at the Box Office.

Paper Clips -Domestic Total Gross: $1,121,744

Murderball - Domestic Total Gross: $1,531,154

Rize - Domestic Total Gross: $3,336,391

An Inconvenient Truth - Domestic Total Gross: $24,146,161

Farenheit 9/11 - Domestic Total Gross: $119,194,771

Blogging The Movie hopes to make its mark in the list of these Documentaries.  We hope to be branded with the term Blogging itself, so that everyone on the cast will be synonymous with blogging and the featured 10 will inevitable be successful with the fame they receive.  This site will become an open door for all those interested in blogging.  The market is there, it’s just a matter of time until that potential is reached.

This blog / project has come a long way from his early beginnings. At first this was a simple idea I conjured up. Thinking that the world needs to know what kind of potential there really is out there. Blogging has seen so much growth in recent years, it seems that it will continue to grow at an exponential rate.

With this growth, comes territory. People want to jump in on this wave to claim their spot in its infancy stage. The only way to stand out from the crowd you really need to brand yourself, your image and your whole personality.

Coming from Cash For Comments, my beginner site. I decorated this Blogging the Movie site with a BOLD RED and YELLOW. I thought that these colors would stand out and make it easily recognizable. After a few words from friends and reviews from forums.digitalpoint.com I decided that a change was needed. This new blue theme works well.

Blue

It symbolizes professionalism and trust. Lets think about this for a minute. Have you ever been to a stop light wanting to get gas. Then you come across 2 gas stations one Shell (red and yellow) and the other one Chevron (Blue, White and Red). I’m not sure about you, but for some reason I’m 80% more inclined to go to use the Chevron Gas Station, even if it means I have to turn and drive a little bit further to get there. Colors really do affect the way we feel.

Other Blue Sites:

Hotmail, Gmail, Wordpress, AOL, John Chow, Shoemoney.. this list goes on and on. But if you really want to have that trustworthy image, GO BLUE!

The man, the myth, the legend.. Mr. John Chow. Some would say he’s the evil genius others call him the internet mogul. There has been a cult like following for Mr. John Chow, yet he has all the facts to back up his strong personality. With his recent launch of his TTZ media affiliate program, [TTZ Media Network is his online source for comparing, reviewing and shopping for tech-related items], he has opened another door of opportunity.

John had a chance to pay us a vist while at Blog World Expo in Las Vegas.  I want to thank John personally, for if it was not for that infamous PDF file I would not have been able to conceptualize this project.  At first he had the PDF file as a free hyperlink but you can still view it by subscribing on his newsletter on John Chow dot com. 

After reading his Make Money Online E-book, I was determined to go make my mark in the blogosphere.   The part that I love about John Chow is that he makes a clear statement that his E-Book is free.  He could easily charge money for it, however the real money comes from his readers trusting him as a credible source of information.  The readers will then come back to his site and signup with his make money programs that he utilizes.  That Evil Genius, he has really shaped his community into a cult like following. 

In October, he made $23,448.59 in his income report.  You can view the breakdown yourself, but just image that John’s first monthly income for John Chow dot com was a mere $352.49.  He has just reached his 1 year mark of monetizing his blog.  It makes you think that anything is possible with hard work.  If he keeps this rate his yearly earnings would be just under $300,000 for just blogging about miscelleaneous ramblings.

John Chow is legit.  He is the real deal people, his blog is about telling people how he makes money and he gives you the option to follow his ways.  Some of his ideas can rub people the wrong way, but it’s his ramblings and he has the power to write as he wishes.  If does rub people the wrong way, its okay, he knows that they will be back.  They always come back, you Evil Genius!!

After the key note speaker Mark Cuban spoke at Blog World Expo.  I scurried down to the front to greet him with an green eyed ambitous millionaire.  I shook his hand and asked if he would like to speak in my documentary, he said to shoot him an email.   Even though he was just a small gesture of saying I’m too busy, it’s ok.  It all about your social surroundings.

Speaking of which Blog World Expo is worth every penny.  The networking and relationships built in this expo is far more valuable than the things you will learn over the net. 

Right now we’re here just about to go out and get to know each other outside the blogosphere.   So I’m about to go out and play with Ms. Danille, Gary Lee, Darin.cc, the boys from Unique Blog Designs, and Egonitron.   Whatever happens in vegas will get blog posted over the world. Hahha jp guys.  

I will give a full recap of BWE after this weekend.   Enjoy your weekend.

The time right now is currently 12:43pm and I had a quick chance to take a break from all the chaos with the events going on in Las Vegas.

Blog Design dot com

I just ran into my good friend Nate Whitehill and Josh from Unique Blog Designs.  They had a few good tricks up their sleeves.  They put up a nice 3 x 7 vinyl banner with their logo and contact information.  To lure a great key search word, they have the domain name blogdesign.com which will forward you to UniqueBlogDesigns.com and you can check out the recent post I gave about creating a great Blog Design.  I’m sure they will now brand their name as the new STANDARD.

Blog Catalog

So while in line to get my Exhibitor passes, I overheard a gentleman and his party trying to register with the name Blog Catalog.  Being the Go-Getter, I extend my hand and introduce myself to the crowd.

“Hey, I’m Prija with Blogging The Movie.  I like your company.”

It was a simple introduction we exchanged business cards and then I was on my way.  Anthony the owner later stated how much better my site looks now.  Thanks Nate, your work is being appreciated.  I though they have been around for a while, however looks like hey started this past June.  I’m impressed with their work so far.  And yes Anthony I already have a BlogCatalog account. haha.  Don’t worry I will participate in the discussion more often.

Venue

The setup is pretty big. For some reason after attending expo like Anime Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center and Comicon this Expo is small in comparison.  However, you have to realize that this is the first Blog World Expo so it is expected to be the smallest.  This expo will grow in the coming years and they have already advertised next year’s event as Sept 18th and 19th.   Mark them now.

Pictures will be up shortly as my PR rep Huy Diep will soon post pictures on our flickr account.  Until then I must go back to my booth to finish my setup.  Tomorrow is going to be crazy.

So I’m packed and ready to go… time to hit the road. Blogging the Movie will try to broadcast our blog live at the event with pictures and video.

However, like all conventions things get crazy so. I apologize if I do not get any wireless to update. But trust me.. you will be saying WTF (where’s the fire) after this week. Muahaha.

I just had a great meeting with my PR rep Huy Diep and we just got done with the last minute preparations for our Booth details for Blog World Expo.  One of my prior business partners always informed me that marketing is going to be our biggest expense.  In this case, he is totally right.   Marketing is all about image.

Blogging The Movie has  made a tremendous effort to change that through our design and behavior.  First impressions at a conventions need to make a statement of clarity and focus.

Marketing items so far:

1. Stickers
2. Postcards
3. Entertainment
4. Handouts
5. Lots of suprises.

Las Vegas seems to be the new camping ground for all entertainment.  The recent VMA for MTV was even held in Las Vegas.  The food is phenomenal, the shows are the best, and the entertainment is non-stop.  What a better way to networking, in a city filled with the ideal that it is about who you know.

Networking serves not only a symbiotic relationship, but a synergistic one.  This can be represented when 2 people bridge an idea or concept together.  This idea then becomes bigger that the 2 people itself.  For instance the 30 GB Zune that was passed down from John Chow to Ms. Danielle to Enkay became bigger than the people.  That contest created a big buzz because it had a history and a story to it.

I hope to accomplish at Blog World Expo to reach out to many bloggers and become a strong front in the community where everyone can support this documentary and an idea where everyone can benefit from it.  Fortunately, Blogging The Movie is a brand that can appeal to bloggers, companies, and the industry.  It’s a win-win situation, so going into this expo we are very certain that the benefits of getting a booth will stamp our Brand into the Blogosphere.

Get ready.  Blogging the Movie is set for Las Vegas Nov 8th and 9th.
