What is Reddit's opinion of Arts Marketing Insights?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

hmmm, my recommendations are more non-profit oriented, BUT knowing that style could be helpful.

Context: Non-profits survive because they're good at convincing people to simply give them money/resources/services. Being able to do that is useful when you have your own projects.

Arts Marketing Insights - a little dated, but a decent book on marketing for the arts (which acting is part of). It won't directly "tell you what to do", but you can take the info and try to apply it to your own practices.

The Ask - provides guidance into how to find and obtain funding. It MAY prove useful in negotiations with a potential employer for a small project (like a micro budget film)

Management and the Arts - This digs into some of the meat and potatoes of managing arts businesses and nonprofits. Essentially, if you want to run your own production studio, this is a good starting point to familiarize yourself with the responsibilities and roles you should consider utilizing. It could be adapted over to being a producer, but only on the conceptual level (the terminology and jobs will differ).

Principals of Fundraising: Theory and Practice - This is a beast of a book, but it has some super useful information on how and why people give their money to things. Chapter 2 (Individual Donor Motivations) is a must read because it dives into the psychology of it. This book would be super helpful in helping you convince people to invest in your work. Why? Because you need to understand the person you're asking's motivation. Yes, you need a solid business plan and a fair and honest estimate of your numbers (budget and profit projections) but that alone can't win the day. Find out how/why that person does what they do with their money and you can tailor your pitch to their perspective. This isn't evil or cheating, this is how life works. I don't invest in a project for the same reason the other person you asked does.

I have a bunch of them digital on google books, I wish I could share a list of all of them here, but it'd just be me doing a crap ton of typing and googling links to hard copies and at least for right now I really don't want to spend another hour doing just that.

These four cover a solid array of things, i have more that cover more of the leadership side of things (mission based management, mission based marketing, strategic planning, nonprofit specific stuff, and financial management for arts and nonprofits) so if you have a specific subject you want to ask about I can pull some specific titles.
