Well - you're
not alone ! We've heard stories like these from many
talented musicians who clearly have what it takes to make it
yet they are somehow unnoticed by the music industry. |
Shocking
Music Industry Truth: |
Record labels
do not care what your music sounds like. They only care
how many CDs you can potentially sell. Period, that's it,
end of story. |
This is Dollar
Driven Business Land, people. It's not a good thing, it's
not bad thing, it just is. If you want to make money
in music, acknowledge it and move forward accordingly.
|
Tradition tells
you that the only way to realistically make good money is
through the tried-and-true, nine-to-five grind--doing
something you're not particularly thrilled with.
It doesn't
have to be that way for you. Why not make good money at
something that excites you, at something that holds your
interest? If your desire is strong enough, if you educate
yourself and come up with a game plan--and implement that
plan!--you can do anything you want.
How do you
come up with that game plan ? Leave that to us. That is
exactly why we compiled our Ultimate Guide to Making a
Living as a Musician so that talented people can arm
themselves with the knowledge they need to break into the
music business
A few of the many things you can learn from our guide are:
GETTING STARTED IN MUSIC
FREELANCING FOR MAXIMUM EXPOSURE
MAKING A LIVING AT WHAT YOU DO BEST - MUSIC
DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS
OTHER SOURCES OF MUSIC INCOME
MAKING A PROMO KIT THAT SELLS INSTANTLY
PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND NOTES
SONG LISTS
BUSINESS CARDS
VIDEOS
STATIONERY
FINDING WORK
PLANNING YOUR MUSIC BUSINESS
SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE
CREATING THE GIG & MUCH ,MUCH, MORE ...
Now there
is one thing we have to point out. We have also
come across many people who think they can sing yet they
couldn't do it if there life depended on it. Our guide is
NOT for people like that. However, if you truly do feel that
you have the talent and other people such as family and
friends have told you that you do, then this guide is
definitely for you.
It will
change your life forever
as you discover
what it takes to make it in the music industry. Whether you
are shooting for the big glamorous life or just want to
enjoy your small gigs, this guide will allow you to follow
your passion.
Most of our
clients are very passionate about music and they can't see
themselves doing anything else. Some would even do it for
Free but of course there are bills to pay in life. What
better way then to do something you love to do on a daily
basis.
You may become a huge star or you may be comfortable
performing local gigs - but one thing you will all have in
common is that you will be getting paid to do what you love
to do - Music ! |
