This is the penultimate review in a series based on my own research, plus awesome input from a number of other independent musicians. My basic goal in this series is to find the best-of-breed that will allow independent musicians to sell digital format songs direct to listeners. If you’ve been following along, you’ve read about some [...]
This is the seventh song sales tool that I’ve reviewed after getting lots of wonderful input from many musicians across Twitter, the blogosphere and the web. My main interest right now is direct sales of digital downloads of songs, so that’s my focus in this series: TuneCore/SmashSongs/RootMusic, CreateSpace, ReverbNation and Genuine Caring. Like ReverbNation, CDBaby [...]
Before I continue my last three reviews of digital direct sales tools for independent musicians, I want to give an extra special mention to Genuine Caring. Not only do they provide an awesome service to a number of inter/national and local (Lehigh Valley region of Eastern Pennsylvania, USA) charities, but they do it in style [...]
This is another in my series of reviews of tools/services for independent musicians to perform digital direct sales of songs. I asked for input from other musicians and got it on this blog, on Twitter and in person. In previous reviews, I’ve covered CreateSpace and TuneCore/SmashSongs/RootMusic. I’m looking for your ongoing, honest responses to these services [...]
As promised, I’m continuing my series of reviews of online musician song sales tools. The previous review went over RootMusic, SmashSongs and TuneCore and why, in the end, they don’t match my criteria. Today, I continue with the review of services that don’t meet the baseline that I eventually came up with for my focus: sites [...]
This is the first in my series of reviews that I promised to provide based on feedback from other musicians and my own research. Frankly, I’m starting with the ones that “didn’t cut it” in my book. So, this may not be a very exciting review for most of you … unless you like one [...]
In February, 2012, I will post an article/review about online musician services. I’ve looked at a few of them myself, but it would be impossible for me to check out all of them, so… I need your input. If you’re a musician or band using an online music service, I want your feedback. (I’m looking [...]
Five things: Having a booking agreement can save you some serious headaches regarding the gig. It stinks if you get to the venue with a 5-meter extension cord and find that the power source is 60-meters away from the (also unexpected) outdoor site. And it’s happened to plenty of bands/ensembles with or without the agreement. [...]
