 I wanted to stick up a very quick post to bring hope to aspiring artists, yet also hammer home once again our core argument.
Maybe we’re finally getting to the time where a few artists really can break ‘big time’ without the record company machine, thanks to their own online efforts. Maybe...

To the readers of the Make It In Music blog, I would like to present my paper looking into some of the best practices of the online promotion of new music releases.
The paper identifies trends at play in the online practices of music promotion, looks at five different case studies and draws some observations and conclusions based on these case studies.

It’s been around a while offering all sorts of amazing ‘direct-to-fan’ marketing tools (email list capture, analytics, social media tools etc) and ‘direct-to-fan’ selling tools (widgets that allow you to sell all types of stuff from all sorts of places). In fact, we’ve been recommending it to our clients for a very long time and many have chosen to use it for it’s ‘all-in-one’ ease of use.

I just got back from two weeks holiday and cleared out my inbox - well over 1000 emails, including over a hundred from artists asking me to check them out.

This is essential reading.
I came across this the other day and rather than just tweet it, it’s one of those things that needs to be on here for people to go off and read in the longer term, as it’s so important. I was impressed that a group of respected Musician Resource Bloggers had come together to pool their knowledge and skills in such a way. And I am very impressed by the content of what they’re doing...

One of the most important parts of your self-promotion is your mailing list and your relationship with the people on it. 
Getting people to sign up and provide you with their contact details enables you to reach them directly for a whole host of reasons and create that genuine relationship between you and them. 
This will foster their fan loyalty to you and will ultimately help you be successful. 
But, how do you go about getting people to join your mailing list and how do you get people to stay there? Here are some things for you to consider…

You can’t argue that when Radiohead announced the release of ‘In Rainbows’ a matter of days after it had been completed and just days before it was made available and announced that fans would be able to get the mp3 download for whatever they wanted to pay, they sent shockwaves right through the recorded music part of the industry...

I’m posting this because once again I’ve been inspired by something on Ariel Hyatt’s blog - a new post entitled ‘Increasing the Frequency of Purchases’

If you read our blog you’ll know that we think she writes a lot of great information and that we follow her blog. So, check her post out, but what about the video below?
