Start Your Own Media Business
Go solo: There is life beyond the cube.
Course Details
New York City is the media capital of the world. All of the biggest film, television, print, and advertising firms are headquartered here. But did you know that most of the creative action -- filmmaking, designing, production, writing -- is done by or for small businesses? Some of the most creative and best-known media are being produced by companies with only a handful of people. And most of these companies were started by young and hungry professionals with very little business experience. Do you have a million dollar idea that won't leave you alone? Do you have a talent that could serve many more folks than your current stable of vendors? Are you sick of living an Office Space life? If so, it just might be time for you to start your own company. In this seminar, you will learn:

Instructor BioDuy Linh Tu's Courses Create Your Own Website – New York (Class starts September 13)
Flash for Journalists – New York (Class starts October 25)
How to Start Your Own Media Business – New York (Seminar on September 3)  Duy is also an Assistant Professor of Professional Practice at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and coordinates the school's New Media program. He has also taught interactive journalism at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism. Duy received his masters degree in journalism from Columbia University. Testimonials I thoroughly enjoyed Duy's Create Your Own Website class and was very excited to walk away with a real sample Web site of my very own. Duy's instruction was very clear. Photoshop and DreamWeaver are now much more accessible to me. The class was a true springboard thanks to Duy's carefully detailed lesson plan. -- S. J. Gluck"Taking Flash and Create Your Own website prepared me for my new job and allowed me to dive into the world of multimedia as a journalist and beyond. Best of all, Duy's teaching style was relaxed, clear and to the point. I advise everyone and anyone curious about acquiring these tools to get ready to absorb all things innovative." -- Cindy Rodriguez "Thanks again to Duy for a great class. I used to be intimidated by Dreamweaver and Photoshop, but he demystified them, and now I have my own portfolio site on the Web." -- Russell Smith "Duy is a terrific teacher and instructor. He was funny, supportive, patient, extremely well-organized, and clearly possessed a mastery of the subject matter. He was the ideal instructor for an inexperienced, technophobic marketing guy like me, and I would definitely take more classes with Duy!" -- Josh Levin, Gallant Films, LLC "Great class -- Excellent -- Duy Lihn Tu knows his stuff and is very patient" --Kathleen Brady "Duy is amazing! He gave me the extra confidence/push I needed to finally put my business together. The class was definitely affordable, and all the information provided was great." -- Patricia Rhinvil, CEO/Founder, 48K Media, LLC "My 3 hours with Duy were the most valuable hours I have spent yet in developing my business. Duy took us step by step through the process, sharing his own personal business plans, finances, contracts, and mistakes so that we would understand the tangible, non-theoretical parts of starting a business. I would recommend Duy's seminar to anyone who wants to turn their dream into reality." -- Emily Koteff, freelancer "Duy's seminar was great. He made the process easy to understand and answered all the questions I had. This was the second of Duy's classes I took (the first was Going Solo: How to Start Your Own Media Business), and I would take another." -- Dean Arrindell, associate producer, NBC News "Duy Linh Tu presented a well-paced, articulate, and methodological introduction to Flash animation. In addition to covering the basics, he also led the class in discovering and imagining more uses for this program. I came away from the class with much more than I expected." --Jenna Duncan "No need to trek to Columbia University to get up to speed on new media! You'll get a tremendous ROI (return-on-your-investment) if you take Duy's classes at mediabistro. Duy efficiently and effectively demystifies new media by sharing his knowledge -- which is a full college semester course -- in a very informal and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks Duy!" -- Dolores C. Nolan, RMM, Vice President/Stations Radio Advertising Bureau |
