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! Article by Chris Knab.
An
Introduction to the FourFront Music
Marketing Concept I have been involved with independent music for over 25
years. In order to help you understand what must be done to plan your career,
and/or implement a record release, I have conceived a Music Marketing Concept
that will help you professionally develop your music for the marketplace. This
concept can be used by any dedicated and hard working
musician or independent record label to build and/or further their careers as
talented artists.
