I sometimes wonder how many people are truly interested in becoming a
successful Artist Manager. There are plenty of artist managers such as Sean P.
Daddy Combs and others that have successfully completed the ultimate goal of
being a manager for an artist who has the gift and talent to become a great
artist. Most people would say that by going to school and attending certain
classes are the key to b becoming a successful manager. But say you don't have
the funding to attend school, what do you do then? Well you can always have the
pleasure to look into books or have the ability to self-study. If you
don’t have the access to funding for college or university, another option is
to purchase some of the various books available on the topic of how to become a music manager and/or
studying much of the material available online in the form of blogs, articles,
forum postings, newsletters, etc. You can also attend music business
conferences and/or seminars in order to get valuable information from the
various panelists and establish connections with attendees and sponsors. One
important key that I feel maybe
very important to becoming a successful artists manager
would be to find an internship at Management Company, so that they could
show you the guidelines. They could tell you that most managers earn 10 to
15% in commission. By reading the article that is listed above, you will
get a better view on how becoming an artist manager is
very tedious work, but also can be a very well paid and fun
job! One more important fact about this job, you will also need to evaluate how much time you have available to devote to the task of music management since your (and your artists’) chances of success are directly related to how much quality time you put into the job.

Getting Your "Work" Noticed In The Entertainment Industry and taking basic 101 steps
Rather its music, film work, or acting, people are determined to get their
faces out there. The drive to pursue an acting gig in a movie, or to get signed
to a major label company would be the absolute dream to have. Most people are
hungry for success, and would do anything to become successful and to have that
extra edge. If you were trying to become an actress, one of the major steps
would be to attend a drama school. For example, the Actors Studio which is
located in New York, New York can offer opportunities to as well it will look
great on your resume. Most acting schools, put on performances in the public
neighborhood just to get recognition and exposure. This would be just one of
the ways to pursue a career in acting. When it comes to becoming a film
director, it is a little different. Most people in the industry are looking for
how you may assess your skills, how do you determine what valuable skills you
did not know you had, and are you the right person for the job. Another thing
that would be very crucial would be how well put your resume is and if you lied
on it or not. When it comes to the music industry, it is very important to up
hold a certain image. I came across and article that explained 3 important
steps that would help guide you to signing with a record label company. The
first step would be, to develop your image, the second step would be to develop
your music, and the last would be to develop your following. In other words
being able to distribute your talent by booking shows, marketing your shows
using social networks, and most of all start looking for experienced managers.
