The Importance of a Professional Network

Welcome my name is Ditza Downs and I am an aspiring entrepreneur. I currently am in the process of make my own business DaVibes Artist Development, which is a company based on assisting unknown musically talented artist develop there skills and achieve there goal of becoming successful. Some important steps that I believe would help by business thrive in a professional setting is first networking. There are many ways to network in the entertainment industry, most commonly used in this day an again would have to be the Internet. Sites such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are tools that if used properly can be very useful as far as networking and getting an artist name and sound out the industry people and the general public. Secondly another factor that is important when networking is to be very active within you community. Social parties and events can be very useful for someone just getting in to the industry. By attending such events you can make a connect that can be life changing. One person can make a huge difference between a business being successful or a business never making it. Lastly if someone never networks there company will never be success because no one will know or have any interest about the company. To be successful in any industry you have to look for your fans or customers because they will not come looking for something they do not know anything about.

Now as far as digital media goes there are many ways business professionals can use these tools to their advantage. My business is based in the music industry so sites like YouTube are a get source to get an artist name out to the general people or even a company name out to people all over the world for free (if used properly). With technology where it’s at today there are many ways a business can thrive right from a regular smart phones. These Smartphone’s such as Blackberry, Iphone, Android and some others making communication on the go a breeze; with Internet, email, and your contacts right at your fingertips its easy to keep on top of professional tasks. Also site such as skype and oovoo allow anyone to have videoconferences for free, which previously was a tool that cost companies a lot of money. By combining all of these tool and resources it is way more easier now a day to run and up and coming independent company within the same digital marketing racks by just utilizing free available sources on the Internet.
