Do you want to know how to get more people to your gigs?
Do you want to know how to sell more of your CDs?
Do you want to make more money as a musician?
Then I can help you a little bit with the insights on this page, but if you are really serious about making more money as a musician, then I highly recommend you do further reading on the subject, and on this page I’ll be reviewing various books and resources as I find them.
Bob Bakers Guerrilla Music Marketing handbook is an excellent starting point for musicians wanting to get more people to their gigs.
This is one of the most complete books I’ve read on this subject - it contains a wealth of insights on marketing on a budget.
It includes:
- How to use blogs and podcasts to promote your music
- How to effectively use Myspace and social media sites, so that you’re not wasting time but effectively using them as a marketing tool
- How to create a killer press kit that will get attention from Journalists and get you write ups and interviews
- 39 Ways to sell a lot more CD’s, DVD’s and music merchandise - real practical tips so that you dont end up with piles of CD’s holding up your bookcases!
Bob Baker does know an awful lot about music marketing, having written this book in 1996, and revisted it many times. There are testimonials all over his website talking about how his strategies have helped independent musicians get started in the industry.
