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.
