Here is a list of 5 things corporate America
needs to pay attention to succeed. While reading the article I got
these from I realize that musicians need to pay attention to these too.
I will add my own thoughts to each one but there are so many different
answers possible I would love to hear some of your own ideas.
Even
though most street teams haven't evolved the way I think they should.
Outsourcing is the wave of the future as artists though your fans make
a great resource to outsource to. This is the start of a new style street team which I have seen in a few places. The days of creating your public style and having it separate from your at home life are long gone (Now if I could only convince myself of that). Nothing is really hidden anymore if you don't tell your fans what they want to know they will find out themselves. It is better to tell your own story your way rather then someone else getting the facts wrong. Flip side to this is having to use tools such as google alerts to stay on top of what is being talked about you. 3. True Globalization:Today you have tools such as Itunes, Amazon, and Reverbation to distribute both your music and band information. This brings true globalization to music both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because you can grow your fan base with further reach. Curse because now your competition is that much greater. However you can take that curse and turn it into a blessing through co-branding. 4. Communication and Collaboration across Distributed Teams:
Staying
in touch with street team leaders in other countries or even regions of
your own country is easier and quicker. This means more work for you or
your management team. But the benefits once time gets organized is huge.
5. The Dominance of Search: This is the killer unless you are mentioned everywhere. The further your online presence reaches the better your rank on search engines. The time to stay involved in all these communities just does not exist. So then how do you get everywhere and still have time to make that next song to broadcast to the 22 galaxies.
