There are a lot of lies being told in the music business. We all know that, right?
Most musicians think that the lies are coming from record label people, producers, managers, and other music business executives...
I'd argue that it's actually the musicians who are the liars. And the sad truth is that they're lying to themselves!
That's why it's time for another free conference call. On this one, I'm going to be talking about how the majority of musicians are fooling themselves when it comes to why they're not having success with their music (and what you can do to make sure you're not one of them).
We'll talk about how to deal with excuses that hold musicians back, the truth about what's happening in the music industry now, and more...
And if we have time, I'll be answering questions sent in by MusicMarketing.com readers. To submit your question, post a comment here.
Make the call and hang up with a plan you can use to sell more music, get more people to your shows, and make more money in the music business.
When is it?
The call will be THIS WEDNESDAY, July 23rd, at 9pm Eastern. See time.gov if you need help converting time zones.
How to call me:
Dial 1-517-417-5200 and enter 927690 at the prompt.
There is no charge for this call, but regular long distance rates apply...same as if you were calling your mother.
This call will not be repeated. If you're interested in this information, you'll need to call in on Wednesday.
David,
Thanks for your hard work and your heart for us indie's. You wouldn't be lying and charging us some hidden fees now would ya:) Just kidding. I am looking forward to calling and applying what I hear.

I'm the personal manager/father of ICEE JAKE the Columbus, Ohio Award Winning Hip Hop Realist.
I'm responsible for nearly 80% of Jakes music promotion & marketing. I've recently been offered a free-trail access to the Musicians Atlas Online, do you or any of your listeners know how up to date the information is and is any of the info down loadable or savable? And how easy is it to cancel the subscription?

I'm very discouraged. My project is done. It's in production on a small scale and I'm waiting for the final product from the duplicators. I live in the middle of nowhere, Kansas and I've exhausted seemingly every low budget/no budget on-line avenue for reaching fans, promoting, marketing, and just getting it out there, with some success. I think it's pretty obvious that the web is a great tool but it can't stop there. I'm running into the issue of where to go next. It's getting pretty complicated. A lot of time can be spent on the wrong things when the right thing is unknown. I want physically reach fans by getting my music in stores and playing shows at least regionally. Does one just need a distribution/marketing deal and a good manager? My situation is a bit tricky. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? My mind is open.
