Music business today isn't very different than it has ever been. The only thing that has changed is the technology we have access to. This step by step book will teach you every aspect of the music business so you can put your music skills to work for you. It's about building your musical brand, learning the proper way to use social media, building an audience, publishing and distributing your music, and much more. In this book, you will learn alternative ways to earn an income. These include, working from home, building libraries and working for hire. Modern music business is radically changing due technological advances and this is leaving some record companies behind. This is the era of underground DIY (do-it-yourself) musicians. Being a professional musician goes beyond musical talent. You must have a business mindset when conducting your career. Ethan Anderson has been a musician ever since he could walk. That was many years ago now, back in the days where one who wanted to market their music had to use physical CDs and cassette tapes. Ever since, he started collecting years of knowledge and experience, compiling it into a digestible format for a definitive guide to other musical artists. He knew that most musicians don't have the funding to start major marketing campaigns. This book is for the cliche "starving artists", the blue collar musician, and anyone looking for guidance in modern music business. Modern Music Business covers every detail of the current music professions. In this book you will find the tools to leverage and think critically about making money with music. You will be aware of new technologies and learn how to strategically reinvent and change how you will make money. Now is the best time to be an independent musician. Streaming services provide income for several musicians without fans having to purchase an album. It makes it 100% easier for fans to support you without worrying about being strapped for cash, or having a closet filled with tapes and CDs. Albums can be completely funded by a generous network of fans before the musician even begins on the project. Fans can instantly connect with the artists on their phone and the internet. Music Artists can produce studio quality recordings from their basement, or their phone from anywhere in the world. This book, Modern Music Business, is a vital blueprint for anyone planning to build a music career in a seemingly complex field of business known as the modern music industry. It's short, to the point, and cost-effective.

Are you struggling to get your music heard? Have you ever felt lost or directionless on how to manage your career? Inside "Music Management for the Indie Artist", you'll discover: How to gain a crystal-clear vision of your future in music. The single most important thing you can do to start getting calls from music managers. Why you need a business and marketing plan and how to write it. How to protect yourself from falling victim to unscrupulous managers. What music management is all about and why it pays to self-manage your career. Whether you just released your first song or are a seasoned musician ready to take your music career to the next level, this book is for you. You should already know how to manage your music career before you decide to get a manager. Because only then will you be perceived as desirable to work with. But the sad thing is... most artists have no clue when it comes to the most important aspects of managing a music career. Many artists think they just have to get their music heard to be successful. Believe it or not, that's really just the tip of the iceberg. If you believe you can carve out a successful music career all on your own - without any help, you are basically committing career suicide. You need to find others who have made it and follow in their footsteps. But if you don't know how to get (and deal) with a manager, you might find yourself getting ripped off. Simply put... Most indie artists don't have a real strategy for building a successful music career. Many struggle for years going nowhere, achieving nothing... and end up returning to (or staying stuck at) an unfulfilling day job barely earning enough money to support themselves and their family living a life of quiet desperation with their hopes and dreams crushed. It's a terrible thing to see! But we've got good news for you... You do not have to end up like most struggling artists because for the first time ever, we've together the ultimate roadmap to help you take control of your own music career. And guess what? It's going to help you look INFINITELY more attractive to any potential manager. This is a complete, step-by-step 228 page blueprint which contains a "treasure trove" of the best kept marketing & business secrets for indie musicians, artists and bands who want to start managing their music career like a pro, become a music phenomenon and attract a top music manager.
