My training from the Experts

I started my month hungry and eager to learn how to distribute and market all the intellectual products that can help my musical team, record label and my consulting clients. My expectations were that I would gain the knowledge to know the next steps to get my foot in the door of the music industry and be strongly educated in the companies to work with, the procedures used by the industry, and how to work the product through my growing company as well.

When I looked at my class I looked at it as being taught by the best chefs in the business of cooking. Now that the class is coming to an end I feel that the process has been helped by the break down of learning there is more than one way to sale products, and help place CD’s/DVD’s, written music, radio spins and movies. The knowledge of knowing marketing and promoting on a do-it-yourself basis was also a good learning experience from this class as well.

With me being the President and owner of my own entertainment company I have the knowledge to apply the materials I have learned for my own personal music and videos that I have accumulated over time. My personal work will be able to be placed in different genre of music fields, commercial placements, and leased for others that may want to perform them rather than any of my clients’ works. On the professional side of things I received the very knowledge I was seeking to know how to use my two publishing houses to gain avenues for the intellectual products of my clients that write music, do voice-overs, and for performing rights.

With all of this knowledge learned, the goals left I feel will be met in the next classes that will help me and my company become one of the best entertainment moguls built for the people and by the people. Aicid Records and Entertainment LLC will know the industry and know how to get the job done.

My consulting career & Learning how to build it

I know that most of my readers are here to learn about the business that is very saturated and you are looking to be guided to success. This month in my class Entertainment Media Publishing and Distribution I learned how to prepare a true blue print of avenues to gain the most out of making money with the Intellectual property that artists and companies make after their copyrights are summited and also published through publishing houses. Wouldn’t you wonder how it works and works the right way so you can save money and also make your path to success a stable one? It is about the numbers and we need to understand that without the numbers to the industry you are just the next person working and hoping to make it to the point that your work pays off.

The cycle that has been showed to artist is making the music copyright the music and join ASCAP, BMI, or SEASAC Publishing houses. This is true but how do you get your music out there? Did someone say get it on the radio air waves, post it on Sound Cloud, burn mix CD’s and give them away or even put the music on ITunes? Well, all these can be done but do you know the mathematics to how doing all this is missing two things in order to make you more money than just being famous? To answer these questions you can stop making more mix tape music that can land you in court and start making more original music that brings me to the point to tell you that no matter where you put your music if no one knows you and no one is moving your project as a solicited work the big entertainment companies are not interested in you or your music. Most companies do not deal with unsolicited music, which means you just are just sending in work for nothing. Joining or finding the right type of agent is needed for the roles you need done. As an artist you need to know that marketing and representation is needed and the way to get paid from more than putting music in the internet base stores or shelves of the brick and mortar stores like mom and pop stores or wholesalers to get your project on the market.

With the next blogs that will becoming out the treatment for any obstacle that you may encounter the company that we can send you to can be found at www.aicidrecords.com and the consulting email address is info@aicidrecords.com for all your questions and answers to how you can get more out of your Intellectual products like licensing for movies, games, and commercials. You can also find consulting for the main companies to deal with for major distribution aggregators and companies that can solicit your music to major labels and all you need to know is the industry standard for music and video work, and percentages that are paid for their services. With this knowledge you can plan and succeed in this business but with no plan you will be eaten alive and the sharks will not have mercy to help you gain if it doesn’t make a gain for them as well.

This blog should of helped you readers to understand that the internet isn’t anything but a tool and if you depend on it instead of gaining the knowledge you need to make it to the level you want to be at then save your time and money and get a career in anything else but music. Build relationships, teams, and a plan with a budget.
