The Concept of the "Making It" series:
"Making It" is the series of books that are written
for perspective subjects by the perspective professionals in each of the
underlining subjects or fields of interest that are defined below: As documented
on the copyright information sheets submitted to the copyright law office of
America, "Making It" is the first free e-on line book of it's kind for
the information age to use as a tool for information. Such subjects of writing
interests include, but not limited to:
Entertainment - Sports - Journalism - Arts - Graphic Design -
Theatre - Acting - Architecture - Aviation - Military -
Business - Radio - Hotel Management - Modeling
- Stage Designing - Dancing - Studio Engineering - more to come
This concept to write " Making It "
was established in 1998 and carried on through the writing of the first ever
written Free E-Online version of "Making It" in Entertainment with
Knowledge, Wisdom, and Guidance in August 2003. These are free on line educational books that are written by
industry professionals that can offer knowledge, wisdom, and guidance to the
perspective subjects. The growth of this book is never ending as well.
Information will be added to this book monthly as new interviews are conducted
and revealed to help young up and coming artists.
All data in the book is collected interview information by myself, David J
Hanson AKA David Hamilton .... unless otherwise noted in certain areas of the
book where excerpts were taken from media released bios for euducational
use.
Being in Radio - Records, helped me gain enough information
to begin to answer the most commonly asked question..... how ? If you read this
book from beginning to end, you will be able to have a better understanding as
to how to
plan, where to start, how to promote yourself, what marketing your talent means,
finding support, and making wise decisions. The best part of this book comes
from the business leaders in entertainment today. This book is not only written
by myself, but also by some really cool people in entertainment that I learned from along the way.
This book is also dedicated to those with some form of talent:
If your goal is to be a
Model, Dancer, Writer,
Painter, Poet, Musician, Photographer, Designer, Actor, Producer, Director, (TV,
Radio, Film) in the Entertainment Industry, this on line e - book is for you! Not
only will I share my entertainment experiences with you to learn from, you get
to learn directly from entertainment leaders like Jimmy Steal of Power 106 LA,
Program Director of one of the most listened to entertainment destinations on
the radio in the world...... Artists like, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Oprah Winfrey and more.
If you can read through this book and learn at least 1
idea, or 1 thing that can help you on your journey, then my book and writing
have served it's purpose. This is an e- on line book free for all to read and
learn from, it will continue to grow, teach, and help young up and coming talent
to achieve the entertainment dreams they have. All of the interviews and artist
involvement are from interviews that I conducted as an air talent, none of this
material is meant to be capitalized on, but only to learn from, such were the
interviews when I conducted them.

David Hamilton / Ez Street / along with Jason Brethorst ( web and
software designer for www.wearesmart.net
) designed ( 1995 ) and established ( 1996 ) one of the very first
record labels for Promotions and Marketing on the internet (
www.ezstreetrecords.com ) to help
local and national talent promote themselves. Since 1996 was a year that AOL and
other on line services just started flourishing, it was also a time period in
which Ez Street Records on line pioneered the way for other services to offer
promotions and marketing on line. It wasn't until MP3's enhanced promotions on
the internet due to space requirements, that on line services flourished as
well. This led to an extensive learning experience in promotions and marketing
all types of talent. Between Radio and Records and working with talent of all
walks, David Hamilton now offers you this Free E- On Line Book titled "
Making It" just another innovative advancement in technology that will soon be
copied by many, so enjoy the 1st of many !
