The Music Biz Academy (http://www.musicbizacademy.com) proudly announces the
release of the 2004 edition of "How to Promote Your Music Successfully
on the Internet," the music industry's most up-to-date 'how to' guide to
making money on the Internet through music promotion.
The author, David Nevue, is an independent musician who has
been promoting his own music online since 1995. "The Internet is a very
exciting place to grow your music career," says Nevue. "Contrary to
common thought, you don’t need a recording contract to be successful.
You can get radio play, grow a fan base, create a distribution channel, and
manufacture and sell CDs all online." Nevue understands the frustration
most musicians feel when trying to 'make it' in the business. "I got tired
of banging my head against a wall trying to get someone 'with money' to take
interest in my music and career," he says. "I learned what most every
other musician finally comes to grips with: if you want a successful career
in the music business you can't wait for someone else to 'discover' you. You
have to find your own way."
Nevue found his own way - using the Internet to promote and distribute his
music. Completely on his own, without any help from a major record label, he
released eight albums of his original music. "I'm doing music full-time
now," Nevue continues. "That's all I ever really wanted - to create
music, inspire others, and have the opportunity to be heard."
Nevue wrote "How to Promote Your Music"
to help other musicians find the same freedom he has enjoyed. "Many musicians
are either intimidated or skeptical about the opportunities available online.
They don’t need to be either. You don’t need a record deal to have
the satisfaction of knowing thousands of people a day are listening to your
music."
The 2004 edition of "How To Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet"
includes everything a musician needs to start pursuing their own success online.
Chapters include "The Best Places to Sell, Promote, and Distribute Your
Music Online," "Targeting Your Customers to the Max," "Tuning
In to Internet Radio" and "Proven Strategies for Selling Your Music."
The book also details how to take credit cards (in 15 minutes!) and includes
a very easy-to-understand guide to search engine optimization and submission.
The book concludes with a 'Quick Reference Guide' containing hundreds of links
to useful resources.
Previous editions of "How To Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet"
have received high praise from many in the online industry, including The
Buzz Factor, MusicDish,
FourFront Music and
AllMusic.com. Its biggest
fans, however, are the readers themselves, with dozens of testimonials from
happy customers listed at the Music Biz Academy web site.
