Other books falsely sugar-coat the inside truths that real promoters know. It's like any other business in that it takes years to become proficient. No matter how smart you think you are, you can't know it until you experience it all. This simplified version has taken what should take many years to learn and reveals the professional details for easy consumption. Reading this one book makes it easier for you.

He admits that no matter how smart you are, “you're likely to get hammered on your first event. That's part of the education, making mistakes." Hal said. Promoters have their own signature and style. No two promoters do everything the same way. But there are standardized ways of methodically executing the various stages of the promoting and producing process. The book breaks down each component. New promoters are shocked to see the cost of entering the business. Shrewd talent agents calculate the artist's share per seat, making it hard to profit.

Promoters are not the most altruistic people. There is no incentive for established promoters to help you or guide you. Hal Davidson is different. One of the most controversial promoters of our time, Abramson states, "I really enjoy helping new promoters who haven't yet learned vindictive, hateful behavior. The newbies have promoting dreams and a lot of drive. If I can help them promote correctly, it truly helps the industry become a kinder place, my books have helped thousands of promoters minimize loss and maximize their chances of concert promoting success".
