Digital Audience Quotes

When I talk about the Internet, it's because young people are there. TV and radio are still what moves the masses, and you can't ignore that. But you also have to feed that monster that grows daily, which is the Internet.

Because of YouTube, I'm getting fan mail from 10-year-olds and teenagers and college kids.

Well, there are more writers of blogs right now than there are readers, so that's clearly a vanity phenomenon.

I have a huge underground following on the web.

I've got about 5 million followers on Twitter, and if I tweet anything, there will be faux outrage.

We are in the throes of a transition where every publication has to think of their digital strategy.

Due to internal problems, 'Bluff Master' had a very limited theatrical release. However, the film was a big hit on digital platforms like YouTube and Amazon.

I probably don't have any more of a bigger following on the Internet than anybody else does - I just probably have a stranger one.

The satellite and digital space is where the audience for 'Cabaret' lies: a discerning lot who don't rush to the cinema hall on the first day, first show, and prefer instead to consume their entertainment at their time and comfort.

People talk about the age and positioning of a brand, but hell, it's not about that. The global language is digital, and we need to speak the language.

My whole career began because I was always putting my music on the Internet. By the time I had my first tour, I had an audience everywhere I went, because people were listening online. I started with a website, Jasonmraz.com, pre-YouTube. You could e-mail me directly, and I would send you a CD.

I hadn't realized the number of people that are still interested in listening to what I am doing, people I would never know about if not for being online.

Acting on a digital platform is similar to the big screen.

Obviously I've grown up around YouTubers, people getting millions of hits, but I was never anywhere near that.

We have literally millions and millions of fans. I mean, even Kendall and Kylie have 50 million followers on Instagram - apiece. That's a hundred million people you have somehow touched emotionally, enough to follow you on a social-media platform. And I think with that also comes, you know, haters.

I always had a Twitter account. I always had an Instagram account. I was always active on it, always spoke my mind. To me, it's really weird that I got so many followers and people that pay attention the way they do. It's hilarious, actually, because people didn't used to listen to me at all. I used to be like, "Does anybody hear me talkin'?"

The lesson of the Internet is that no audience is too small.

I don't know if I can call myself the poster boy. But yes, I am fortunate that a lot of work that I did was on the web. It has definitely got me some really good roles and a great audience.

I think an online presence is super important. I find new artists and songs I like on socials or Spotify. It's really how people find you. I don't take posting on socials very seriously though.

There are some sites that pay, but access to them is quite limited. And a very small chunk of the population uses the Internet. So, a director goes on YouTube only for better reach.

There are people who have huge YouTube followings - whose every post gets hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of hits. But I don't think that's having the same impact as someone who has a regular presence on television, or both.

My fan base is really, really young. They're the youngest demographic that you can track on YouTube: 13- to 17-year-old females. But the fan mail that I get in my P.O. box, they're all from moms and from kids who are two years old, three years old, four years old.

There's an obvious marketing component to doing something digitally where you're reaching out to new readers that you can't do in the existing print marketplace, or that it's difficult to do in the existing print marketplace.

It is true that a lot of people are easily distracted online. As a result, too many of us have given up on digital audiences for ambitious work, and this is a mistake.

Youtube was the start of my career officially, although since I was 4 I've wanted to be a singer. I've performed here and there before youtube, but youtube push me much further.
