NOTE: This is an important post and it's in your best interest to spend the next 5-6 minutes and read every line of it. It's about how most musicians are broke and why it doesn't have to be that way for you. You've got some great music. You want the
world to hear it.
But you're being stopped in your tracks, because you've got no
money. It's frustrating. Simply put, this lack of
money is limiting you from being able to reach the people that want to
hear your music.
And it gets even more painful... Not only do you
need money to be able to reach music fans, the companies that have
money to invest in you, the major labels, publishing companies, and
managers, want to see that you're making money before they'll even
consider talking to you.
It's a Catch 22. But here's the good news.
You no longer have to feel this way. I can help you.
Before I tell you exactly how, let's look at the facts...
FACT: If you want to be taken
seriously as a professional musician, you must prove to the people in
music industry that you can make money with your
music.
But as daunting as that sounds, you don't have to worry... I'll
help you prove that your music is viable and makes money.
Whether you're idea of "making it" is getting a major label
record
deal or simply being able to play a gig at your local music venue,
you'll never do either one if you can't demonstrate your ability to
make money in the music business.
Sure, people who work in this industry, whether record label
executives or booking agents, love music, but they're in business...and
it takes money to stay in business. Regardless of how much they love
your music, there is only so much they can do for you, if you're not
making money.
But if you are making money, they can do a lot for you...
When you've proven to the industry that you have music people will
buy, a show people will come to, and a real business that makes money,
they'll knock down your door with:
- record deals
- publishing contracts
- big budgets for promotion
- tour support
- everything it takes to get your music to the masses
FACT: A "good song" isn't
enough anymore.
If you aren't making money with your music, nobody
will pay attention to you. This industry isn't the same as it was even
five years ago. Labels, management companies, and publishers are
looking for "proven" product that they know they'll make money
with.
Simply put, before major labels, publishing companies, or anybody
else in the music industry will take your seriously, these companies
want to know what you've got will sell.
That's where I come in...
FACT: I can help you make
money with your music.
Since 1995, I've worked with hundreds of bands, record labels, and
management companies to increase profit centers, sell more music, and
make more money on everything that they do. And I can
help you find this "hidden money" within your music
business, too.
Yes, the economy sucks right now,
but musicians are still making money...
Are you one of them? You can be!
We've all heard the media reports about how the economy sucks. Maybe for some people, but if you look back in history, during The Great Depression, the entertainment business, especially movies and music were the ONLY industries to make money.
FACT: Even when people are dead broke, they spend money on entertainment.
The question is? Are you taking advantage of all this money? Probably not.
Most musicians I work with are already doing the work they need to do, they're just not cashing in on things. There is "hidden money" on the table.
Have you ever checked the pockets of a jacket you haven't worn in a
while,only to find a $20 bill? That's the feeling you'll get
when I
discover the "hidden money" in your music business.
I can help you build your music business into something that
makes money...
- on every show you play...
- on every album you release...
- on everything you do...
If you've got the music and you're working to promote it, but seem
to be getting nowhere, I can help you "tweak" a few things to
get you
on the right track...and making the kind of money that will get you
major label attention.
FACT: You're not making as much money
with your music as you should be.
What I mean by that isn't that you're lazy or that the world is
"unfair" or something; it's that you're not taking advantage of
money-making opportunities that are right in front of your face...right
now. Perhaps this is because you're not sure how to go about taking
advantage of these opportunities. Or maybe you don't know that they
even exist.
Regardless, you're losing a lot of money right
now...and I can help you take care of that problem, with a simple phone
call.
I want to help you "plug the leaks" in your system. I
want to help
you make sure you're generating the most amount of money you possible
can and make sure major labels, publishing companies, and managers
don't pass you over, simply because you need help with your
music marketing.
How it works...
The process is simple...
1. You book time with me. See below for information on how to
do that.
2. You fill out a quick "intake" form with information
about what you're doing to market your music and what you think
you need help with.
3. We schedule an appointment that works for both of us.
4. I get on the phone with you and tell you how to fix your
music marketing problems.
5. You sell more music, get more people to your shows, and
make more money in the music business.
FACT: If you want to get on the phone
and personally work with me one-on-one, this will be your only
opportunity. I will not be making this offer
again...ever.
I love working with musicians and songwriters one-on-one, where I
can really "go deep" with them and come up with new ways for
them to
make money with their music, increase fans, get more web traffic, and
otherwise live their dreams. The problem I have is finding the time to
do it!
Unfortunately, I can't help everybody.
You see, my time to work one-on-one with people is
extremely
limited. As I've gotten more involved with broadcasting and
publishing, I've had to cut way back on the amount of clients that I
personally work with.
I don't feel too guilty... I've written plenty of books on the music
business, which you can always pick up on Amazon for around $15. And
you can listen to my radio show weekly, of course.
But for those who really want to "go big" and get huge results,
working with me personally is the best way for me to help you to:
- Get more people to your shows.
- Sell more music.
- Make more money in the music business.
BOTTOM
LINE: I WILL HELP YOU MAKE MORE MONEY WITH YOUR
MUSIC.
FACT: If I can't help you to find AT
LEAST two new streams of income for your music within the hour we spend
together, I'll refund your money.
And while we're on the subject of money, let's talk about how much
an hour with me will cost you. Depending on your situation, it will
cost you one of two things...
If you're signed to a major label or have a deal with a major
publishing company,
your rate is $335. If you've sold over 100,000 records, your rate is
$335. Call my office at 615-460-9595 to arrange payment and schedule
an appointment.
If you're an independent artist or songwriter, your
rate is only $127, but there are a few rules...
1. You pay upfront. I only have 10 slots
available,
so I need you to commit to one of them now. Assuming there are slots
still available, a payment button is below. Once you pay, my assistant
will contact you about scheduling an appointment with me at a time the
is convenient for both of us.
2. I want to talk to you by the end of October. Let's not drag this
out. If you're not ready for my help now, please leave the space open
for somebody who is.
3. This special rate is for phone only. I'll call
you on my dime, regardless of where you are in the world. And yes,
this applies to you, even if you're here with me in Nashville.
4. This special rate is for one-on-one consulting with independent
musicians and songwriters. "One-on-one" means YOU talk
to ME. If you
want me to work with your entire band, your manager, your wife, your
booking agent, or anybody else, call my office at 615-460-9595 and talk
to my assistant.
I have 10 "one-on-one"
slots available and this is the very last time I will make this offer...ever. If you want to personally work with me in this way, do it now...
Why? I'm simply too busy with my radio show, publishing company,
books, and other projects to do one-on-one consulting at this price.
In a nutshell, I can reach more people and make more money elsewhere.
So why am I doing one-on-one music marketing help for so
little? It's actually quite selfish...
Working with independent musicians and songwriters helps to keep my
ear to the street. When we can talk personally, I get a better
understanding of what it is you're trying to accomplish...and solutions
which I develop for you eventually end up in the books I write and
seminars I give.
I'm in Nashville, so I see independent musicians and songwriters all
the time...and we often do things like this
networking party, which got me in front of over dozens of people in
one evening.
In short, I need material for events like these. :)
If you feel $127 is too much for me to personally get on the phone
with you, really dig in to what you're doing, come up with a custom
solution for your marketing problems, as well as show you the "hidden
money" in your music business, that's fine. I hope that
you'll get a
free subscription to this blog, listen to
Music Business Radio, and take advantage of what I'm giving you for
nothing.
But if you're ready for me to personally take your current music
marketing situation, finding all the holes in it, and help you attract
the attention of major labels, publishing companies, and managers, all
while making money doing what you love, let's go.
Remember, this is the last time I
plan to do it...ever. If you're unsigned and you want to work with
me personally, you must do it now.
If you want to be one of the very few who gets this opportunity,
here's your chance...
Work with me one-on-one for only
$127...

One more thing...
Chances are, because you're here, that you know who I am and you've
read at least this blog before. And chances are, you've probably read
my books on music marketing and listened to my syndicated radio show, Music Business Radio.
But if you somehow happened to stumble upon this site and have no idea
who I am or what I do, you might want to take a couple of minutes to read about
me on Wikipedia, before you decide to work with me.
Know who I am and what I can do for you already? Good.
I'm looking forward to working with you. :)
