Many great ideas were mentioned during my last class period
in my business course. Some relating to sports and others to music. All were
very inspiring but none caught my attention like that of the music industry.
Even more so than the music itself, the networking behind the entertainment
business. How would one go about promoting a concert for a band? Or for that
matter any talented musician that wishes to become wide stream. Once you gain
that initial popularity the media does the rest for you. All that would be
required of you would be to maintain an image. In this generation full of hand
held devices giving everyone easy access to their emails or social accounts,
networking has evolved. Gigs can be promoted through sites such as Facebook.
Start locally; build a reputation a show at a time. However, keep in mind that
the first impression is very important. If the audience feels indifferent when
hearing your music they won't recommend it or want to listen to it again. There
are plenty of ways to catch the public’s attention. For example, the website YouTube
is widely used and would serve as a good basis for publishing ones music. Most
viewers are likely to prefer music with music video so it would be in the best
interest of the artist to include one. In todays would the internet has made
expanding ones work much faster and much easier, it is up to the judgment of
the millions of internet users whether or not your work obtains the recognition
it deserves.
