Best Wishes For The New Year

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

I wanted to take this time to thank you for your support. This year has been an interesting one and time has definitely flown by. I am very grateful for all the insight you guys have added to discussions and questions you have asked making this site better.

This year I plan to take a more active approach in helping your blog. Less theory and more practice. The one thing I realized is many music bloggers talk about what you can do, but lack specific tasks to achieve them. The reason I want to make this blog different is because I want to make you practice: I learned by trial and error. Now after a couple of years blogging about music, I’ve been able to eliminate some errors and build upon what worked.

End Of Year Evaluation

I want you to take some time to think about your music promotion. Think about what your are happy with and what you want to expand. Find out what your biggest problems are and acknowledge they need to be fixed. Has your blogging changed according to time passing?

Let’s get this year started off with good momentum. Be positive. Understand that each music operation varies. What works for one band might not work for another. Blogging helps point out some of your hidden strengths.

Use your stats, make your own assumptions and remember if this was easy, then everyone would be famous or rich. Work hard for your passion. Let people really know what your music means to you.

Time to visit the studio and let creative juices flow.

Be safe, Stay smart and Keep positive.

Have A Safe and Happy New Year!

Music 2.0 Mindframe

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

hhd_joblogoAs this new year has hit, I have been researching new ways to make the most out of this changing music industry model. What I have grown to love the most out of this whole trip is the networking with fellow musicians and music bloggers. The beauty is there are a lot of talented people out there sharing their expertise for free.

As a fellow music blogger, I want to create more of an informative site for indie musicians and direct them to sites I enjoy reading that can elevate all of our careers. I really want to call out all music lovers and musicans to contribute to open discussions and freely promote their projects.

Music 2.0 has opened the eyes of all artists and turned us into musical detectives, figuring out what works for our band. Email me with new concepts or ideas where we can maximize our exposure and make money from our musical talent as a collective.

We all benefit from each other when networking is involved. I have enjoyed using sites like Twitter and having fellow followers willingly promote my music and music articles I created. This is inspiring to me to become as active as possible and learn from all: whether music students, music peers, or music teachers.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you soon.
