Week 8 of Ariel Contest- Creating A Continuum Program

OK,so here we are at Week 8,..I'm a little behind on this contest, as I'm in the middle of moving and have had to focus on that for the past few weeks...regardless...I'm back to complete this contest...I must say this Chapter is interesting.Getting your fans to buy from me over & over again is the concept here...Ariel gives some good ideas to do that...Like creating a Monthly Fan Club,putting on private concerts & such for members of my fan club,etc,etc.

I don't understand why the funnel has an x in a box..again..I'm in uncharted waters here...I'm an artist that has to be a manager,a marketing expert,a booking agent as well as all the other things it would require for me to further my career,I suppose I might sound jaded here but I'm not,...I just know who I am and what I do.I know my strengths & my weaknesses. I'm also pretty good at coming up with some cool ideas,...like fiZTV...I see the difference between people that are more business minded and people like me that are more artistic minded...I had someone write a business layout for me that mentioned a possible future membership fee for fiZTV...well that would be more of a possibility then a monthly song...not that I'm not prolific enough to produce a new song a month for my fans because I most definitely am,...but I am not capable of recording my own music on the level of my last CD,which was produced by a brilliant Producer/Engineer named Bob Stander...It has left me in a very interesting situation for sure...I mean...how would it be if Rob Thomas or Bob Jovi we're releasing their home recordings?...it doesn't represent their overall image or sound....with that said...there are other ideas that are presented here as well..I will focus on seeing what I can come up with...so,until next week(which will be the last blog for this contest)...I wish you all

peace.luv.music.
