Guide to Online Entertainment

Get the most for your business with online entertainment


Whether you are already a software developer or a business owner considering visual media to advertise your product, it's a wise move to consider online entertainment businesses. Facts and studies show that America is in love with electronic gaming. It entertains consumers and educates them-from young to old. Companies use games for training purposes, product placement and name recognition.

Internet entertainment has a tremendous outreach for clientele. Because of the wide variety of information available, it's more difficult to get your product recognized in the online entertainment business. There are several steps a business owner takes to get their online entertainment information to the consumer.

1. Work with viable Internet entertainment companies when outsourcing information.

2. Present online entertainment with high-quality graphics and interesting play.

3. Publicize your online games.


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Hire a company with strong web entertainment credentials If you are a game developer looking into creating online games, or if you are looking into hiring someone to create games for your business, it's important to have professional associations.

I recommend:  The International Game Development Association (IGDA) has over 8,500 members in the United States. The members are entertainment developers interested in continued education and networking. Join if you are a developer or look for a developer to help create your product. If you are more concerned with the networking aspect, consider joining a group such as Georgia Games Developers Association, Inc.

Make professional looking online video games to advertise your product If you are a professional developer already, you might want to consider a product that allows rapid development. Or, if you are a smaller company and want to create games yourself using tools online, download a program for game-making.

I recommend:  "Torque Game Engine 3D Game Engine" from GarageGames.com is a program for game developers who want to prototype games quickly for their evaluation. If you want to create your own game for free, consider XNA from Microsoft Corporation.

Advertise your online entertainment information Work with online entertainment companies or promote your own ideas and work through contests and festivals. This gets your name out there, especially if you win. If your online entertainment information is in several festivals, you will have even more recognition. It's cost effective and easy once you make the original game.

I recommend:  The Independent Games Festival, an annual festival, is open to all independent game developers worldwide and has nearly $50,000 in prizes (not to mention the publicity of your product). Think Services is a great resource for festival and conference deadlines and tells you where to submit your Internet entertainment products.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Companies with newsletters sponsor many festivals and contests. Update newsletter editors regularly about your product for free publicity.
