POWER PLAYER LESSON 10
FRAN’S TARGET MARKET
WHAT I LEARNED: I did try Imdb.com. There was some stuff on there. But it was hard to find a lot when you’re not a member. I did find that Wikipedia worked very well with a list of producers for the movies. Some names even had the companies they work for which helped a lot, too. It’s just another way to find producers. It was work, but it was easy work.

My first posting got all messed up. I tried to shorten it up so I wouldn’t take up so much space, but it didn’t work. So here’s the replacement post. I hope this one posts without any problems.

<div>David’s Target Market</div>
What I learned is 1) Some of the producers have their phone number and personal email on IMDB Pro. So that’s cool. 2) It was hard to get to 50, because as I went through the process some of the producers were popping up repeatedly. I guess that means my targeting is good 🙂
