Music Promotion - DIY style.

How to get your music out there without having to spend thousands of dollars on advertising and agents.

Hi everyone,
Welcome to my lens.
I have been involved in the music industry for about 7 years so far and it's been an interesting, frustrating, rewarding, exciting, sometimes annoying and encouraging ride.
This lens is an attempt to capture all that I have learned and focus it into one place.

Most of what I have picked up on is found in the links section in my blog so do drop in and say hello.

One thing I have discovered is that you can promote your music with the right know - how and tools.
You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get started, but with a little creativity, some carefully spent cash and some time and commitment, you can achieve excellent results.
(I personally have done this and also know individuals who have actually made music their career - without a record deal and have done very well).

I trust this information will help you in reaching your goals in developing your music career.

How to promote your music successfully on the internet.

David Nevue makes a fulltime living from his music.

I first discovered this book about 3 years ago and immediately downloaded it - I was not disappointed.
Personally, by applying the excellent information in this "musicians toolbox" I have seen an increase in exposure and ultimately sales of my own music. This book has paid for itself several times over is one of the best resources out there that I know of.
David continually updates his book with new information and I highly recommend it as the book every budding artist should read if they want to promote and make money from their music via the internet.
