Re: Hello, and Help?
Heya Azul, yeah I remember you (-: I think one of the ways you can increase your exposure is via Wikia Spotlights, and I'll inquire about that.  If there are other direct methods of advertising you think I can help out, let me know.  I'm mostly a helper with wiki/community, and I fear marketing/advertising is not exactly my forte.  You might also want to drop a note on Angies's talk page, she's probably the better marketeer than me.

In terms of things you can do, if there's anything new/notable with Kingdom Hearts, you can add it to the Gaming hub. You can also write an article for the hub talking about the new management and any visions etc.

About a month ago, Jimbo wrote an email to the Central mailing list: So, I want to make an offer to everyone in every wikia community... please post this message far and wide throughout wikia.

The most useful thing that I can personally do for you in helping to build your community is to get you some press coverage. I am particularly interested in helping you to get press coverage in your "vertical" press markets... whatever that might be.

Is there a magazine, newsletter, fanzine, tv show, radio show, or whatever that you wish would tell the rest of your global community about your wikia?

Put me to work!

There are great people at Wikia who want to hear from you about operations, about software improvements, about community issues, etc. And I love hearing from you about that stuff too. But in those cases, what I can normally do for you is pass it along and support changes that help you.

As for me personally, I am mostly useless to you except for one thing: helping you get noticed. Helping your wiki to become famous in the places you want it to be famous.

I try to do as much of this for you as I can, but the real issue is one of scale. We just don't have the resources to understand your space in the world as well as you do.

You can tell me what publications you want to be featured in. We can work together on the idea for a story you want to pitch them. Then with those two things in hand, I can contact them and set up an interview. You will have me prepped ahead of time with your message, and we will get it into the publication.

--Jimbo So you might want to contact Jimbo and take him up on his offer too d-:

Finally, you might consider reading the WikiNode OpEd article, and see if helping to spread the usage of WikiNodes might end up being beneficial to your wiki, and as an alternate way to have cross-linking with FF Wiki and the Square Wiki etc.

Good luck, good skill, and let me know if there's anything else I can directly help with your wiki/community! -PanSola 05:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * For clarification, I think Jimbo's main value is his celebrity status. Because he's famous, media will pay attention to him.  According to what he wrote in the email quoted above, I believe it'd be best for others (KH ppl and/or marketeers) to draft up the talking points first, then work with Jimbo to flesh it out. -PanSola 07:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Azul, thanks for being pro-active. I will put Kingdom of Hearts in Wikia Spotlight next rotation for sure! Another way to reach more people with your wiki is to do link exhanges with other popular fan sites and forums in the Kingdom of Hearts community. If there is an official site, you may want to contact them and try to get listed as an official fan site. Last but not least, proposing a link to the wiki on the Wikipedia page is also a good way to spread the word. angies (talk) 18:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
