5 Best Music Marketing Ideas for Indie Musicians

Learn How to Earn Commissions While Marketing Your Music  http://bit.ly/1D4QwYR 5 Best Music Marketing Ideas for Indie Musicians 1. Building Buzz Around Events This is something I used to do a lot is try to build a buzz whenever I played out. One thing I learned really fast is that you can even turn a week of gigs into a tour. When I would call entertainment papers in towns, I would always tell them I was “coming through their city to perform”. Many times I would mention the next city I was hitting. They don’t really care where I’m playing next, but what I was doing was creating momentum and getting them to be open to... Read more here:  http://bit.ly/BestMusicMarketingIdeas

Music Marketing: Strategy [7 Steps] (Music Business Lesson MM-001)

In this lesson James Taylor of the Music Business Institute goes through the 7 steps of successful music marketing. It's both a blueprint and a roadmap that you can also use to create the kind of music career you desire. It's also deceptively simple although the implementation will require that you learn some step-by-step techniques and tactics.  1. Build Your Fan Lists What is the one thing that all successful artists have in common - LISTS. Lists are the lifeblood of your business as a musician and without them it's almost impossible to make a living from your craft.  2. Develop Relationships With Fans The relationship with your lists will sustain you emotionally, creatively and financially over many, many years if you do it right.  However if you disrespect your lists, speak down to them, or treat them as just a source of income then you are likely to have a very short career in music indeed. 3. Learn What Fans Want There exists two main schools (or Tri

How to Make a Cinemagraph in FCPX

What is a cinemagraph? How do I make one myself?  In this video I show you how to make a cinemagraph with Final Cut Pro X. Keep in mind that FCPX can't export in GIF, but this is not a deal breaker. I personally don't mind video files because certain phones can't really play GIFs. Since I am planning to share my cinemagraphs, I try to keep the file size small by making them less than 10 seconds long. You can also try exporting in 720p. The neat thing about video cinemagraphs is that you can add sound to them.  *Let me know down below if there are ways I can improve this process.

5 Music Marketing Tips EVERY Musician Can't Live Without!

5 Music Marketing Tips EVERY Musician Can't Live Without! 1. Say Something Seriously, there is a massively huge world out there. In case you didn't get the memo, the economy sucks, people around the world are starving to death, corporations are raking in billions, and the media keeps shoving expensive crap down our throats.  So say something. Don't waste your talent, whether its in music, or art, or writing, or math, or whatever. Don't waste it. Use it. And make a freaking difference.  Musicians, there are thousands of songs out there about dum tweeny bop crushes and partying. Are we really that lame? There are tens of thousands of string quartets, thousands of symphonies, and tens of thousands of piano solos. Is that what we are about? Tiny little notes on scraps of tree bark?  Make a difference with your music, your art. Change the world one note at a time.  2. Get with the program. Which program? Garageband, Audacity, Acid, Fruity Loops, Cubas

Music Technology - The Great Democratizer

Music Technology - The Great Democratizer Technology is the great Democratizer. If I don't want someone to judge me based on my appearance, gender, or age, I can create a new avatar, an identity, all linked to a valid e-mail account and website which tout my achievements without giving away a single personal detail. I can contact someone across the ocean (or even just two blocks away) via text or FB or Twitter, collaborate on a project, distribute it, and never have to meet a living, breathing soul.  What is beautiful about this? If you, or you, or you want to create a great piece of art, whether it is music, or visual art, or an ebook, all you have to do it create it and hit SEND. It doesn't matter if you are ten, or twenty, or one hundred and ten. It doesn't matter if you speak Spanish, or Mandarin, or Arabic. If the music is good, if you know what you are doing, you can share your creations with the world.  Even if your music is bad, someone is bound
