You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.-Steve Jobs
The word on the street is Apple is going to revolutionize the book industry maybe even take a large chunk of Amazon’s business. That might be true or it might be B.S. But what I do know is if you want to create a magazine you defiantly want it compatible with the Ipad. I think this has a very good shot at revolutionizing, interactive Digital content. Imagine you have a dope Hiphop mag on the Ipad. Your reading an article about a popular MC. The reader clicks on the pic of the MC and they might do a rhyme or even give tips on how to improve your own lyrics. Or maybe there is a Tesla Roadster ad that you click on that lets you virtually test drive the car right on the Ipad. With an Ipad and other touch screen notebooks the sky is the limit in bring your content to life. Are you ready for the Digital Magazine Evolution?
It is funny how things work in America. How there is trying to be shift to a color blind society, like race don’t matter. Hell video models are called exotic looking now. Everybody wants to be the same there are no differences. Popular society says shed your differences can’t we all just get along? I tell you FUCK that especially when it comes to social media. Embrace your differences, make the best original content and leverage them online. Being different not only helps you stand out from the noise online, but gives you competitive edge. It is easy to copy a business but it is very hard in copying an original person that plays to their strengths. Remember this when you do stand out be great at least for 5 minutes online, that is all it takes for one idea to spread like wild fire.
Warning Make sure your music is dope before you do anything
“While the dominant Hip-Hop media plays into the hands of major label executives who hope to keep the fan-base everlastingly fixated on the most supercilious of spats, rappers are still being swindled, left and right, for all their worth.” Tolu Olorunda
I was talking to a friend he dropped some knowledge to me regarding HipHop Artist he said that 1 percent or less of HipHop artist are really up on their business. That is really deep when you think about it. That is like saying when you hang out in the club everybody acts rich but everybody is broke up in club. Or the old saying goes 1% of the population is rich and controls the planet.
In saying all of that here is 4 team members you need for your team:
Strategic Business Manager: He or she is the quarterback of your team not only do they make sure you get paid, but they help Map out/come up with creative ways to spread your music and brand’s vision
Social Marketing Manger: Yo if you are dealing with the net and digital music and don’t have one or many of these you are simply playing checkers while everybody else is playing chess. They are a great help with your Twitter,Myspace,Face book plus telling you new tools of social media. But the best ones show you how to communicate with your supporters, and turn that communication into dollas.
Technologist: They keep you abreast of new tech to leverage your brand. But also solve problems,analyze, and troubleshoot to name a few of there duties.
Music Lawyer that specializes in Digital Music: More than just look at contracts. They can be very helpful in structuring deals and helping your overall business. Make sure you check their references, if they have expertise in the music biz especially digital music, and of course how much they charge.
It is funny watching the Internet game especially if you have a big butt and a smile. Urban models that post on Twitter, Face bk, Myspace have tons of opportunities to connect with people and make a shit load of money just on merchandise alone. I think their is a huge market for clothing especially women with full figures and it has been proven with clothing line success of Baby Phat and Apple bottom . But the secret is everybody has access now to creating their own clothing lines because the start up cost are so cheap now http://www.alibaba.com or http://www.cafepress.com. If a woman making porn getting back shots becomes a Multi- millionaire business woman. So can an Urban model showing a little ass can do it to.
