  • I think that each magazine should have a related store where people can sell goods that are related to the content threads and the people that are running the servers would get a cut of the proceeds.

    You can even use the new instant bank transfer system in America to pay for it and cut MasterCard and Visa out of the process.

    I feel like that would be a good way to both fund the fediverse and to sell goods and services, however we should also have strict policies about not advertising the stuff you have for sale and instead remind people from time to time that if they have an idea for Merch or have some merch they want to buy that’s related they can go to the store page for this magazine.











  • I don’t know if there are any independent filmmaker groups, but if you read Bruce Campbell’s if chins could talk he goes into what Ted and Sam Raimy had to go through in order to make the first evil Dead movie.

    Basically, they made an independent movie that was super cheap and showed it to some well-to-do dentists and got them to invest in making The cabin in the woods which is the precursor to the evil Dead series, and used The cabin in the woods to get more funding to make the first evil Dead movie.

    It was a lot of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and they go into much more detail in the book then I’m talking about. There are also a lot of other books from Independent movie Makers who figured out ways to get funding, and you should definitely look into them. Your local library will be an invaluable resource
