So you previously discovered in part one of this ongoing series, up and coming struggling comics, they’re small business owners (and or) service providers too. Would you not agree?
Because until, (or unless) they hit the big time of their chosen profession, they need to get really adept, and learn “how to” successfully market themselves as well.
Because after all,who’s to say if they’ll ever truly make it to the top of their incredibly competitive profession, right?(Meanwhile, they gotta eat,right? 😎 )
And if they don’t, there will definitely be some dips in when (or if) they work, or how much they actually earn when do!
So that being the case, they definitely need to develop some top fight marketing skills, don’t you agree?
And since part one centered around mega superstar comic and movie star icon “Kevin Hart” and his meteoric rise to both fame and fortune.
We dialed the clock back slightly and had a look at things, just before Kevin became a household comedy name and regularly commanded mega million dollar paydays for his various movie roles.
And we attempted to show “how” an up and coming Kevin Hart, might successfully market himself, so he create some multiple streams of income.Let’s how he and or struggling up and coming comedian X might do just that!
So How Does An Up And Coming Struggling Comic Who Hasn’t Quite Hit The Big time Yet Successfully Market Themselves To Create Some Reliable Multiple Streams Of Income?
So let’s quickly pick up our story where part one left off.Long before mega superstar comic “Kevin Hart” was routinely being transported around, via movie studio limousines and consistently staying in world class, four or five star hotels with around the clock room service etc!
And long before his agents were constantly being inundated with requests to appear on the most popular day time or prime time, late night television shows etc.
Old Kevin, like so many others in his extremely competitive field, was just another broke, struggling run of the mill comic, that periodically had to crash at close family and or friends homes or share hotel rooms fees with other broke comics, because they simply couldn’t afford all of their self funded traveling expenses.
But now, just three or four tough years later!Now old Kevin (and or) semi established comedian X, they’re finally starting to gain some much needed traction on the “here to today and definitely gone tomorrow” comedy circuit!
And as a direct result, they’re routinely starting to become a featured main headliner, instead of being just one of six or seven other card filling comics on a venue, where the pay and exposure is not so good!
An Up And Coming Comic Definitely Needs To Know How To Become An Entrepreneur!(Don’t You Agree?)
So fast forward and now that Kevin is routinely drawing enthusiastic crowds of 1,000 to 1,500 per venue! And his opt in email (and or) text message subscriber base is 50,000 strong and constantly growing, because he makes an extremely irresistible offer of some kind, to them at the end of every live performance!
Plus, inside of every DVD he sells of his extremely popular recorded live performances, he includes one of his best market tested inserts and he invites the ladies to enter his free monthly drawing for chance to win a dozen roses, a box of really good gourmet chocolates, an over sized personally autographed card and, giant seven foot teddy bear!
And this perceived $397 dollar value, gets delivered once a month, via special courier, to either the winners job, their own business or their home.
And Kevin also currently has an extremely active and fanatical twitter following of 500,000!And it too is constantly growing!
(News flash! The real superstar comic Kevin hart, currently has a enormous tweeter following of 22 million strong and growing!)
Anyway, one of the multiple streams of income that Kevin’s extremely savvy marketing team creates is, once every 90 days, Kevin hosts an “Evening With Kevin Hart” event!
And yes, about 85% of the participates are the ladies! 😎 And get this, Kevin has two events that are hosted at some really nice four or five star hotels, and the other two events are hosted on luxury rented yachts!Some of whom are currently owned by other superstar celebrities! 😎
That way, Kevin can periodically feature them as special surprise mystery guests!
And of course Kevin’s production company records and carefully edits these glamorous, high profile events, and sells them on his mobile responsive WordPress website.
Who Says Effective Marketing Strategies Are Only For Traditional Small Business Owners And Or Service Providers?
And one of the main reasons “why” the 1,200 to 1,500 ladies routinely leap at the chance to spend $300 dollars each (or X), or it’s just $450 dollars, for any two ladies, (or any two people) to spend six hours with Kevin and company, at one of his high profile events.(And constantly getting higher! 😎 )
It’s because near the end of the night, after Kevin has introduced all of his previously unannounced mystery guests.And all the ladies that spent $350 dollars each, also got a chance to have their picture taken with Kevin and his mystery guests etc.
And what ever mystery featured entertainer Kevin has booked for these events! 😎 The ladies anxiously await the news, of which lucky lady has won the extra special $10,000 dollar “Queen Of The Night With Kevin Hart” grand prize! 😎
She gets a nice crown, takes an autographed picture with her hero and the mystery guest and mystery entertainer and or entertainment for the evening!(So you know she’s constantly tweeting, posting on FB and Instagram etc, throughout the entire event! 😎
And just wait until she get’s back home and or returns to work and or very own business!
And Kevin’s expert social media marketing team, will constantly be tweeting out quotes, pictures and select video footage of these events! Especially video footage from the aboard the fancy luxury yachts! 😎
Is There Any Valid Reason Why An Up And Coming Comic Can Become A Highly Skilled Marketer?
Plus, at least 25 ladies will also get flowers,a seven foot teddy bear and an extremely tasty box of gourmet chocolates delivered to their jobs, home and or place of business etc!
Because you know they had previously let the whole world know they were attending the event, right? And 100 ladies will win $100 dollar gas cards! All of this generosity mind you, is primarily designed to constantly generate a tremendous (on and offline) positive viral word of mouth and mouse buzz!
Which will drive even more eyeballs to his WordPress website and a percentage will definitely join his constantly growing opt in email (and or) text message list!
While others, will gladly become twitter and or FB followers!So he either wins or wins!And of course, since Kevin (and or) semi successful comic X, is a registered affiliate of (take your pick!) Target, Best Buy and or if he finds out a fairly high percentage of his opt in audience and or twitter followers are (either) gourmet coffee or tea drinkers.
Guess what? He’ll become a registered affiliate of theirs too! 😎 Entrepreneur, are you starting to see and appreciate, “how” a semi established up and coming comedian, could effectively market themselves and create multiple streams of income in the process? Say yes!Great!
