Kevin English Review

What I've learned from Kevin English is the importance of having a business ready to submit in my field. The construction of how set up marketing, budgeting, and other factors are key to gaining investors. Also, Mr. English shows new ways of being able to maintain in the Entertainment Business when approaching third parties for assistance. Kevin English is one that specializes in the music industry given his past experience. But he does shed light on how important it is to maintain sticking to your plan in any business. If you actually do a google search on entertainment plans, there are a lot of templates that appear. For example, there are Wrestling Business Plans (http://www.bplans.com/wrestling_entertainment_business_plan/executive_summary_fc.cfm) that have specific needs in terms of financial planning and marketing.

With that said, my company would definitely follow a business that specifically relates to the model of how a music company is set up. A combination of following how a technology company functions with a business would be incorporated with those qualities. This would show how affective the business would from the standpoint of the music business and how it could maintain in the business of technology well.

Nereida Garcia Review

I've learned from Nereida Garcia that establishing yourself on the internet is a strong force in marketing. She also makes it a point to let artists that they should engage themselves in developing business plans that they should follow in each aspect. For example, she eludes to the fact that if an artists is to develop a marketing plan, it should written down with certain goals to achieve. If it is promote on certain blogs or reach out to certain types of online media, a business plan should be documented and followed according to plan.

My company would would need to have the presence of online that would a have strategic plan for online marketing. I would have to use resources from Affiliate Tips (http://www.affiliatetips.com/affiliate-marketing-internet-business-with-business-plan-services.html) with these hints on how to work with affiliate marketing online. These tips are similar to the general points that Garcia was making even though it is applied to generally large businesses. This can be applied to artists who present themselves as businesses to other companies and smaller businesses in the entertainment industry.
