Oh, How the Music Business Keep Changing

How to Write Your Own Music Marketing Plan

I want you to sit down right now and write the answer to this question on a piece of paper:
“Of all the things I could do in my life, WHY do I want to learn how to write a music marketing plan?" I ask this because the only business that needs to know how to market music are record labels. If you are just an independent musician who has recorded a CD but wants it to sell, then (whether or not you want to admit it....) you are starting your own record label, and record labels must write music marketing plans if they have any chance of selling the recordings they have made!
