Sorry for the void of regular posts in recent weeks…a combination of holidays and heavy work loads. (Hey, they don’t pay me to write this stuff.)
Meanwhile, while I haven’t been posting much, some other places have been putting out some good info for DIY musicians. So to get you through in the meantime, check out some of the links below. And watch for more good stuff here in 2012.
Hypebot lists 15 revenue opportunities for indie artists in 2012.
Live Unsigned tells you how to connect to 10,000 fans.
Hey, guys and girls–here’s an interesting development that might be worth checking out. A few days ago, Music Industry News Network published an article about Music180, a new site that’s building a bridge for indie artists by providing artist development resources for emerging talent.
Here’s how it works. Sign up for a free membership on the site, and you get to network with a group of seasoned industry professionals: upload your music to them, and take advantage of any of a number of different opportunities being offered at the time. For example, you can submit your song for critique, or spend an hour on the phone with a top producer, or have a photo shoot done–that kind of thing. Different opportunities geared toward artist development, ranging from connections to exposure to advice.
