Can Internet Marketing Companies Look At Audiences And Fanbases?

By Robert Sutter


"Fanbases" and "audiences," on the surface, do not seem to have many differences upon first glance, do they? The reason for this is because, at least at first glance, they entail groups of people who share interests in certain topics and nothing more. However, it seems as though there is far more of a difference to consider, according to an article that recently came to my attention. Is there such a great difference between these terms that Internet marketing companies will be able to cover it?

According to an article that was posted on the Guardian, YouTube has told its users that they should focus on building "fanbases" as opposed to audiences. The reason that was given in the publication was that fanbases pick and choose what it is that they will watch and at what times. Audiences are seemingly very different by comparison, though, as they tune in when they are promoted to do so. Following analysis on this particular matter, it seems like fanbases possess more of a positive connotation.

Speaking as someone who considers himself a Tumblr aficionado of sorts, I have seen events like live-blogging done in tremendous amounts. For example, whenever a new episode of a TV show comes on the air, it's not out of the question to see people continually blog about poignant events during every episode. Even though TV shows end in terms of episodes, it's not like they ever truly see conclusions. After all, fanbases keep various forms of media alive, as Internet marketing companies can attest to.

I do have one concern that the article brought to my attention, however, and it was one that was focused on the gearing of content based on interests. It's important to keep in mind that the suggestion of certain videos can come across as intrusive, according to many Internet marketing companies. What has to be done is more organic engagement, which is an important factor associated with firms like fishbat. The content shouldn't be so much in-your-face; rather, the distribution of said content should be more natural.

The goal of this movement, by YouTube, should be to have the distribution of videos brought so that it has a far wider reach. With that said, I think that it is important to consider that not everyone is going to click on links in order to watch certain videos. Even though people might have similar interests, to say that they enjoy all of the same things is a stretch, to put it simply. With that said, I can only hope that this "fanbases" over "audiences" movement by YouTube can actually produce more engaging results.
