    Marketing Ideas I 've spent many years in lots of bands playing all over northern and southern California. At the end of the night you might pocket anywhere from 50.00 to 150.00 bucks per man, for an hours work. I submit that within a 3 song kick ass performance, you can give away 20 cds and simply take donations.

    What artists should know about Jango
    posted by Brian Hazard on Thursday April 23 2009 @ 08:15AM PDT
    Marketing Ideas I've had some luck with a relatively new internet radio site called Jango, essentially "buying" new fans at $1 each and radio plays at 2 cents each.

    How to Make Money from Music Licensing
    posted by Andrew Aversa on Tuesday March 10 2009 @ 10:32AM PDT
    Marketing Ideas Like many of you, I'm an independent musician. I started producing my own music when I was 15 and still in high school; I'm 21 now and finishing up an undergraduate degree. Over the last six years, I've gone from not knowing what a synthesizer was and struggling to use my software, to making over five figures from my own music annually.

    Don't Be Stubborn With Your Music Career
    posted by Chris at CD Baby on Friday February 06 2009 @ 10:42PM PST
    Marketing Ideas I was just sitting on the couch waiting for Austin City Limits to
    come on, perusing the 2009 Indie Bible (a great book, by the way!)
    and came across an article by Janet Fisher called “So How Do We
    Make Our Dream Become Reality?” There is a section in this article
    that particularly struck me called “Rewrite

    Please don't do this at your show!
    posted by Kevin at CD Baby on Wednesday January 28 2009 @ 11:45AM PST
    Marketing Ideas I recently had the chance to interview, Tom Jackson, of Tom Jackson Productions for the CD Baby DIY Musician Podcast(Episode 43 listen here-> http://cdbabypodcast.com/?p=108). Tom’s career as a performance coach runs the whole musical spectrum from working with solo indie artists to chart toppers like Taylor Swift. I’ve also had the pleasure to work with Tom personally, and have seen first hand how his idea of building “moments” into a show works to connect with the audience. This got me thinking, and I had to share a few of my performance pet peeves. They seem pretty obvious, but I have seen artists at all levels commit these offenses over and over again. They definitely work against inviting your audience into a moment.

    posted by shawn eiferman on Saturday January 17 2009 @ 12:54AM PST
    Marketing Ideas I have been asking my audience verbally and on signage and cards on tables to text me their email address and comments from their cell phones while I'm on stage and have gathered thousands of emails in a short amount of time without a clip board and without trying to read some drunk's handwriting at 3am!
