NEW YORK (TMBA) - The
Music Biz Academy (
https://www.musicbizacademy.com)
proudly announces the release of the 2005 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 sell CDs and music downloads 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
do it yourself."
Nevue found his own way - using the
Internet to
promote and distribute his music. Without any help from a major record
label, he has released nine 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 2005 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 submission. The book
concludes with a 'Quick Reference Guide' containing links to hundreds
of useful music business 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.
