Recommendation

Yes – you can build a business that connects to the fictitious worlds and characters you love. Self-professed geek Carol Pinchefsky unveils the layers involved in starting a business that rests on your fandom or sci-fi passion. She details handling intellectual property issues and getting a foothold into fan conventions. Although she’s lighthearted in her approach, Pinchefsky’s content is serious, and it’s relevant to anyone dealing with established commercial characters or entities. Learn when to subdue your inner geek and when to let it shine as you monetize your fan passion.

Take-Aways

  • If you are a geek at heart, embrace your passion with a creative fandom business.
  • Before you create, say, superhero T-shirts, research whether that hero’s image is another company’s intellectual property.
  • Even if your business is small, if you want to reap the rewards, take it seriously.
