In Part 2 of the series here, we will try to create the Builder, that will actually provide the Infrastructure that makes
Future of Work = aligning ones Passion and life Purpose
From Part 1,
http://idu1.blogspot.com/2015/12/future-of-work-aligning-ones-passion.html
we wonder if it is even possible, or realistic? Otherwise there will be no starving musicians, writers, artists doing parting jobs.
But yoda did say “Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
So here comes our relentless drive and first effort to create that
Infrastructure- one that creates Profitability,
for every industry imaginable.
The challenge here is how to make every job profitable or employable on adequate full time salaried basis.
Hence the focus here is jobs in the arts, since jobs in the sciences, business and commercial , and other administrative
type work are always around if one looks hard enough.
Not having the easiest time in getting full time work, and sacrificing their time for part time jobs, are the writers, musicians, artists, film makers, performers of all kinds like acting, singing, dancing etc.
So how do we create this monster Builder for the Arts? One that will allow every artist (will use "artist" here to mean everyone in the Arts) to participate full time on adequate Entrepreneur profitability basis, thus allowing them to focus full-time wholeheartedly on their Passion(and hopefully their Passion aligns well with their life Purpose)
The internet and social media, with sites like Craigslist, Fivver and Upwork, have alleviated some degree of this problem, helping these artist gets jobs, contracts globally, providing a marketing platform to sell their services. But somehow, it seems lacking- the Arts needs a big collaborative Infrastructure that promotes profitability to anyone that wants it.
The central issue here is lack of demand and weak pricing for these artistic goods and services.
So how do we solve this problem?
Creating artificial demand and pricing for these goods/services are not long term solutions, and thus the problem must be seen
in a different light.
The ultimate qn is -
"Must supply be matched by demand of the same product?"
Based on Economics 101, no doubt.
Based on Yodanomics 101, probably not.
Do bookstores make more money selling books or coffee? The cafe at Barnes and Nobles probably makes more profit each day
than their book selling operation.(are u listening Barnes and Noble? funny they are always complaining of online competition and weak pricing)
Do comic book convention sell more comics than toys, tshirts, food/drinks, gift items and other items combined?
Do fans who go to comic convention comic book lovers or die hard Cosplay fans?
And what do Rock and Roll bands have to do in a Beer festival?
And why is the Crepe and Cappuccino stand the most profitable and crowded in a weekly flea market that sells jewelries and tshirts?
And let takes a cue from the music industry- according to this article on Dave Matthews band
http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2011/01/concerted_effort.html
the music industry is already shifting away from CDs and records and focusing on doing Concerts, selling memberships and a slew of food, drinks, tickets, gifts to derive their profitability.
I can go on and on, but you get the point.
The mother of all ironies is -
Any product and services could be made FUN,and Profitable, and it doesnt have to come from within the product, or the sales of it!
You could do a bugs spray, soy sauce, or paper clip convention and it could still be most fun and profitable.
The idea is to get the artists together to collaborate fun Events- such as conventions, concerts, parties, contests, flea markets (we hate the word Flea as it cheapens the product and it disassociates the upper income consumers, maybe we should call them Test Market from now on , so to encourage new products testing or exciting prelim sales of "soon to be out" products)
The event could be singular artist group focus, as in Writers Concert,
or multiple focus, all mashed into one event- such as National Arts Rock and Roll Party.
But these events must include a few REQUIRED elements-
such as a Cafe that sells good quality food and drinks ( this is a must and probably where all the profits are made in the whole Event, maybe throw in a bunch of new food and wine tasting in there),
a few arcade game shacks for the kids with tons of cute prizes(this creates noise and excitement, think Dave and Buster, one of the most profitable dining companies out there)
perhaps throw in a good loud band to create the family atmosphere for spending, partying, hanging around for a few drinks,
and tons of affordable gift items like memorable tshirts, badges, stuffies etc etc
And if u could spice it up with a few Marvel Cosplay or a rolling BB8, so much the better- i have never seen an event where if these were present , it doesn't draw at least a crowd taking pictures.
The giant bulk of all profits will come from food, drinks, cafe, gift items,and not from the aggregated product art sales of all the artists combined.
But the key is to aggregate the profits of any nature, and distribute them equally back to the artists participating.- i mean why should the artists make less than the hot dog vendor for that one day event?
The event could be set up weekly or monthly depending on complexity.
So how should this Infrastructure be set up?
The Builder should set up this infrastructure by providing a free turnkey package of Profitable Event Planning service on event planning sites like meetup.com. The Builders here are the successful event planning experts- no failures allowed as profitability and livelihood of all artists rely on the success of creating FUN events.
The artists can sign up for the events in their respective Meetup groups.
The Builder could take one crucial step further by helping the artist set up indiegogo.com pages to sell their products in advance as well as promote the Event- that way everyone is aggregated on one site- good for ease of marketing and PR.
Venue to the event can be set up with lounges, clubs, hotels, owners with big enough space-preferably one that provides the good food and drinks as well- otherwise the outsourced food drinks and labor involved gets complicated.
This is the first attempt to set up the Infrastructure and we welcome comments and improvisations.
Long live the arts!
We will cheers to this first attempt with a spicy jalapeno nachos, and of course, the organic black cinnamon spice beer!
