Music Marketing Plan & Music Business Plan Development – For the Independent and DIY Artist, Band, Indie Label, and any other music related businessess. I Cannot - I Repeat - Cannot emphasize enough the importance of utilizing a professionally developed and formatted music marketing plan.  As an Indie music consultants and managers, this is usually the first or possibly the second thing we recommend that our artists, labels, and music business professionals put into place.  If you are a label you need both a music marketing plan and a music business plan. Whether you're an independent artist, label, or music business - which as an indie - DIY artist your music career is your business, a written "Plan of Action" is crucial to your success.  Without one, you're just shooting arrows in the wind- aimlessly trying to achieve your goals.  The likelyhood of achieving a reasonable and acceptable degree of success is very small.  A Comprehensive, well written, and solid Music Marketing Plan is absolutely essential to success in any start up music business.  It is your bible, your roadmap, which should be followed without yeilding from it.  It spells out in an easy to understand format, the strategies, and the steps you need to take, how and when to take them, and how to implement your strategies in an effective manner.  Often, we won't even consider working with an artist, independent label, or other music entity, if they are not open to developing and using a solid music marketing plan.  Without a good one- literally all efforts can be in vein. Whether it's us, or someone else who develops and prepares it, I genuinely recommend not going it alone without the written "PLAN OF ATTACK". Once your music plan is completed, we will personally walk you through it, mentor and teach you how to implement it each and every step, and use it effectively to achieve the highest possible results, and music career/business advantage.       More details >> ............................................   US $487.00 [A Bargin when others charge $1,200.]     Service / Product # mpd-005-cw Prefer to Pay with Certified Check or Money Order by US Mail ?    Click here for instructions >>   After your purchase, a representative will contact you to discuss the details of your music marketing plan.  You consultantwill need to work closely and interact with you to gain information during the process.  So there will be quite a back and forth period going on.

Click Here to View Our Publicity Bundled Paks and Save Big!     Feature Article         ........................ Feature Article –  As with a CD review, and even more so in many cases, a feature article written by a creditable music writer and published in the right music media, either in print or online, is another powerful way to seriously increase awareness for your project, for you as an artist or band, and your CD release. Once again, as with the CD review, the trick is to persuade a music journalist writing for a creditable publication to write a feature article about you.  This is not always easy.  Often, if they have a fully completed and professionally written article presented to them, they are more likely to print it in lieu of having to write it.  It also shows that you are taking your career serious.  Online articles drive traffic to your websites in turn increasing CD and merch sales, and building your fan base.

Featured Interview/Article     What better way to let music fans know all about you and your records.  Fans just love to keep up with their favorite artists and bands and love to know all about them on a more personal level.  Generally fans are facinated with band or artist interviews either in writing or on live media broadcasts.  Typically, interview type articles get more attention than a lot of other forms of music media exposure.  As with CD reviews and feature articles, facilitating a writer to interview you and put it in writing is certainly not easy.  A professional written and formatted interview-article will dramatically increase visits to your websites, increasing CD and merch sales, and creating new fans.
