Hourglass8 understands that the entertainment industry is looking for new and innovative ways to market their product, whether it is a site, film, talent, product or service.

Our forte is in social media – how to use the web, viral marketing and the new media options available in order to increase your brand, and ultimately, the capacity to increase your revenue stream. We understand that “interruption marketing” doesn’t work. Let us help you navigate the social media marketplace so that the time and energy you are spending in those areas are reaping the rewards you are looking for. And yes, we handle the adult industry as well.

Consultations for the entertainment industry are custom-designed to fit not only your budget, but your time:

• Consultations: Perhaps you’re contemplating starting a new website or company. We can provide “thinktank” services as well as general information and research services to save you the time and headache involved in figuring out what direction you should take with your business. For new business owners, this initial consultation is a highly integral part of establishing your overall business strategy. After the initial consultation, “tuneup” consultations are available along the way. Rates are dependent on the amount of information and research required; please inquire. (1 Hr minimum)

• Hourly phone coaching: Need to learn how to navigate social media? Have ideas, but have no marketing background and need to bounce them off of someone with more experience? Hourly coaching sessions are $35/hr, where I can not only walk you through each social media option and help you create your own marketing strategy. If you have the time to execute your own strategy, then this is educational as well as economical. (1 Hr minimum, must include initial consultation)

• Community management: This option is great for the webmaster as well as talent who just does not have the time to devote to their social media marketing plan. We will customize your strategy and implement it for you, tweaking the process on a regular basis. We suggest strategy meetings each per week so that we can work together to create a marketing plan that works best for you, as well as keep us updated on your plans so that we can effectively market for you. Itemized invoices are available so that you can keep track of our work. (3 month minimum, must include initial consultation)

• Webmaster Services: Perhaps you need an online store, customized blog, or paysite set up. We can provide those services for you at an extremely competitive rate. Whether you are interested in having us run and manage your site, or simply want us to set it up for you so you can manage it yourself, we have the ability to create a site that you will be proud of. In addition, we can create custom blogs and Twitter backgrounds for a nominal fee. (Must include initial consultation)

• In addition, we can Mix and Match coaching with marketing plans, website services with marketing, etc. Several of our clients ask us to manage their accounts while they are away on work, vacation, or the holidays – or just have a busy week, such as during principal photography. Please just ask – you’ll find we are not only economical, but fast, and very hands-on. (Must include initial consultation)

For Adult Industry Talent…
I am always available to consult/advise ladies who may be thinking about entering the adult industry. I believe that when jumping into a potentially scary business, people who are well-informed and savvy are safest. Offering advice and someone logical to bounce thoughts and ideas off of in terms of modeling, contracts, and general advice is something I offer free of charge to ladies in the industry. Charges are, however, incurred when discussing marketing strategy. Please refer to the above rate sheet for more information.

NOTE #1: Please keep in mind that we are NOT agents. We are not licensed as such. We only offer a support system in getting you started, so that you have someone at your side, like a big brother or sister. Our hope is that you’ll be more educated and savvy in regards to this industry.

NOTE#2: A lot of the general information that you might need in order to get started is actually contained in this blog. “The Model” category above may contain enough information to get you started without needing our services.

Payments
Payments can be easily made via PayPal and credit cards. PayPal invoices will include PayPal fees.
For corporate clients and longer contracts, we can set up a recurring invoice system.
