Next Level Publishing Company pushes the envelope by creating an educational DVD entitled: So You Wanna Be a Music Star-Volume I. The purpose of the product is to get the Singers, songwriters, publishers, producers, record labels and the likes, on track to actually making a living in the music industry.

Most aspiring artists have been persuaded to believe, that TV shows like "American Idol" is the where with all, to their careers.  That's so far from the truth.  Many also believe, that it all begans in the recording studio, and it ends on the stage.  That's another myth taken to heart.  

The fact of the matter is, It all about licenses, and concludes with the royalty checks. This is the lifeline to succeeding in the music business.  This is when you're legitimately operating in the business of music.

Though recording studios are an intricate part, because that's where the compositions are laid, that's only the beginning.  The stage is also very important, but it only adds to your fame, by giving you more exposure, not necessarily more money. 

In most cases, people who get the opportunity to hear live performances at festivals, and the likes, in many cases, never heard of the artist before then, and by then, many of them still will never buy the music.  In many cases, most artists will become  "The other artist that really sounded nice".

This two Compact Disc package covers every area of music industry subject matters, from copyrighting to publishing, licenses, and even goes into the new ways of effectively marketing products.

The all intent purpose is to equip the individual, or company to operate at it's fullest potential, with or without assistance from any other outside entity.  It has a direct approach, because the narration is designed to speak to, and not, at the viewer of the program.  It's also set apart from any other projects on the market, because it's content is distributed and delivered in the format of an actual television show.  

So for many, it's not an intimidating setting, because it brings a level of comfort with the direct challenge to learn the business.  Not a classroom setting, just your everyday conversation "One on One" eight chapters about a very interesting subject matter, business operations.

A very unique approach, blending music and technology, enhancing the mindset, raising the aptitudes, checking the attributes, and realigning the attitudes of multitudes, who dare to explore the depths of the multiplexities embeded in the business of music.

Furthermore, this DVD package cultivates the connections of technology, by revealing marketing methods only known by a few.  Even though, all are aware of a few popular social networks, aggregators and RSS feeds, many do not know how to navigate through them, without taking up the entire 24 hours of a day.  This package reveals shortcuts, which gives the power back to the end user, and repositions technology, back to it's rightful place, as a tool.

Finally, most artist never admit that their sales are low, even when they are null and void.  Research has proven, that the average artist, orders 1000 cds, only to see them packed away in the basement, or garage for years down the line.
This DVD package gives instructions on setting up on-line sales, setting up to receive credit card payments, setting up alternative performance, without having to go through red tape, and so much more.

Now available is a one of a kind product, that is making dreams, a reality and enhancing careers all over the U.S. and abroad.  Presented by Next Level Publishing Company, bridging the gap between the business of music and technology.  Visit: www.nextlevelpc.net to find out more!   Testimonies are also posted as references to this phenomenal product.  Check it out and please tell others.

Springfield, VA  August 24, 2009 -- Here I am again today, working on a way distribute meaningful content, to a group of people entering into a world of organized chaos.  

A world called, the music industry.Being one who has traveled the roads of lies and let downs, which you'll find running rapidly, throughout the music industry.  I now find myself, trying to prepare others, with the equipment and preparation, that was not passed down to me.

I grew up in a family of musicians and singers, who never received their rightful place of recognition in the music industry. Even though, they were in the industry for 50 plus years.  

I thought 20 years was a bit much, but matching up to that, I still have 30 years to go. I have come to the conclusion, that I refuse to allow a multitude of others, that I come in contact with, to be blindsided, because someone else did not reveal the truth.

My music career has not been a bed of ease, but I can say that I am satisfied with what I have accomplished thus far.To make a long story short, and get to the point.  In 20 years, I have spent so much money, and so much time, constantly going to seminars, retreats and conferences, trying to make my dreams come true. 

I have rubbed shoulders with some of the best of the music industry practitioners.  However, I did not start to enjoy success, until I became somewhat introverted.Let me start by saying that I give God all the glory, so as he led me.I began to solely work my craft, being 100% self sufficient.  

This may not work for others, but it worked for me.  I hit the road 30 to 40 weeks a year, and after every performance, I would return to my hotel room, log on to the internet, and touch base with my new fan base.

Creating alternative performances was my forte, because I did not get the calls, I could not get massive commercial radio airplay, but the internet stations enhance my listening audience dramatically.  

Weblogs, Social Networks, video & audio podcasting, along with being able to set up On-line sales with CD baby, and a host of others & now iTunes has given me the boost that was needed, in order for me to succeed. Learning the applications of Web 2.0, and how to apply them has given me a major artists advantage.  

Even though, it still does not give me the status quo recognition, it gives me the ability to reach the masses, therefore allowing me to have access to millions, even if, I only sell to 30,000 individuals a year on average.  

That's success to me, when you calculate the numbers, remember, I collect more from my individual sales, than the average popular artist. I own the record label, and I own the copyrights and the publishing to 90 compositions, they are my intellectual properties.  And, I did not have to sell my soul.

This is what I have benefited from, by using technology.  Now my ultimate goal is to pass it on, to as many people, who are willing to listen.  Yes, you will still have to work hard and close the deals, but the fact of being able to get the attention of so many, is what you can celebrate.  

Don't let anyone fool you, this industry has always been about reaching the masses.  That's the leveraged advantage, we now have access too.  Don't let it slip through your fingers.
This is the new model of business marketing and promotions. If you have any talent that's distributed to 10 million people, there is no way they all will say, they don't like your style.  

As a matter of fact, many of them will grow to love you.  I can vouch for that. And the haters you ask, oh, they'll still be there.

Now that I've come into the full knowledge of a few web 2.0 "POWER MOVES" I do not spend as much time on my computer anymore.  These applications allow me to prepare blogs, and send them to all of my social networks with one mouse click.Video uploads use to take several days, because I have so many accounts.  

Now I have access to an application, that allows me to send out to all of the video aggregators with one mouse click.  And the beat goes on.  Twitter, yes I still do, but it's now mobile, so that I can respond, even while I'm on the road.  

Finally, to all who has come to love and purchase my music, I say to all of you. Thank you so very much, because even with having technology, the production, arrangements, and delivery, still have to be good enough for you to buy it.

To all inspiring artists, writers, publishers and the likes, many will not support you, no matter how good you are.  Some will even work hard to stop your dream in it's tracks.  

Remember, for every person that does not support you, two other people will.  Take full advantage of the technology that's accessible to you, and reach millions, upon millions, they are waiting to hear from you.  

We now have access to over Seven Hundred Million people..Worldwide... Three Hundred Million people in the U.S. alone.  

YOUR ACCESS HAS BEEN GRANTED!

My story is not the norm, but it's a living reality.  Learn the business and blend it with technology, you cannot fail.  Dream and dream big, until your dream comes through.

Be Blessed,

Dr. John Butler aka The Minister

The New Business of Music-The Paradigm has begun!
Options  Viewable by anyoneJul 11, 2009 at 9:25 PMPost a comment
Today, July 11th 2009, was a day that I never thought I'd see, in my lifetime.  I took advantage of presenting the new structure, procedures and processes of the business of music.  I was the lecturer for the 1st music business & technology seminar called: So You Wanna Be a Music Star.  What a phenomenal time we had. The audience was invigorating, and on the edge of their seats from start to finish.  It has been 20 years for me, in the music industry and my experience has been eventful to say the least.  

I am so excited, because I really feel that as an independent artist, songwriter, record label executive, and publisher, that I will finally get a fair opportunity at getting the people to know who I am in the masses, all at once.  When you have taken time out of your life to record over 100 compositions, 65 videos and perform all across the U.S. and abroad. It is exciting to know that there are many who appreciate what you contributed to the music industry. We are now operating in a technological environment called Web 3.0, which gives access to millions, upon millions, like never before.  Just the fact of knowing that I can now reach, and be reached by millions with the click of a mouse is unbelievable.

There are so many facets of the music industry changing, every moment right before our eyes, that we're now calling it the "New Business of Music" or the "New Music Industry". The way we copyright, publish, register to protect our digital intellectual properties, have all been enhanced or totally reconstructed in some way form, or fashion. It will never be the same, as we continue to matriculate into the Web 4.0 interactive architecture.  

Whether we are ready or not, it's here the new business of music.  At this juncture everyone gets a fair shake at becoming successful, until someone figures out a way to manipulate the system again.  Believe me, someone will find a way to eliminate the so-called unqualified or better yet, unwanted.

In the meantime, my advice to all who's interested take full advantage of technology, such as, social networks, RSS, aggregators, weblogs and the like, with many other means available for you, and advance your career.

Since we automatically believe everyone knows who we are, I decided to get my staff to change that notion. Here is an official introduction of The Minister John Butler. 

After this intro, you cannot say, I never heard of him before any longer. Here also attached is a DVD that I am endorsing fully 100% to offer other independents a chance at success. http://www.nextlevelpc.net

I have traveled and worked this industry practically all of my life, and there were days when I wondered WHY? The answer is clear to me now! 

It was predestined for me to minister to others. Eventhough, I sing gospel, most of my supporter base are new converts or people who believe in God, but did not attend church.

I would say that I am right on track with what God intended for me to do, WIN SOULS to CHRIST.

I cannot say it enough, thank you to all who buy my music and support my ministry.

To all of my fellow artists out there, unless your sales are through the roof and your paid engagements are overflowing. You need to get a copy of this DVD. 

There is nothing like it on the market anywhere.
No one is willing to assist you in this industry unless, they make 10 times more than you, even if you're the one paying them.

Get a copy for your mother, your sister, your cousin or just your friend. They will love you for it.

The DVD is entitled: So You Wanna Be a Music Star by Next Level Publishing Company. Endorsed by many across the U.S. and abroad.http://www.nextlevelpc.net

Don't miss out on an opportunity to advance your career sooner than later. It covers The Business of Music & Technology. Get your copy today!

Since you're gonna ride, you might as well make it smoother, than it is now! Tell the truth to yourself, that's what this is all about. You Being Successful in this Business of Music.http://www.theminister.org

I am John Butler, a man of many gifts and talents.  And like many of you, I dream!

Isn't is a shame that many people wait their whole lives, for someone
to finally say, Wow! You're good.  Or better yet, let me make you rich
& famous.



Unfortunately, the majority of people don't even get that.  So the
question I ask of you is, WHY WAIT?  It may not ever happen.  They may
not ever appreciate you, so my advice to you is to Press Forward and
don't look back.  Press through every and anything that attempts to
stand in your path.  Who Knows, you might just be the one everybody's
been waiting for!



Not a sermon, Just a thought!



Dr. John A. Butler aka THE MINISTER
