5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, well worth the money, June 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make Money Scoring Soundtracks and Jingles (Paperback)
A great introduction and simple step by step guide to working the music production business. Good solid guidelines applicable to even international readers. I have applied these techniques in New Zealand and they work very well over here! Some real gold in the setting your fee chapter. Also the focus on marketing throughout keeps you focussed on the job of selling. I highly urge anybody who is looking for an overall guide to music production business to get this book.

By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make Money Scoring Soundtracks and Jingles (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book! Everything you need to start an at-home music-production business is described in detail, especially how to promote yourself. I made $1,000 within four months of using Jeffrey's techniques!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and generic, February 26, 2003
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Make Money Scoring Soundtracks and Jingles (Paperback)
I'm pretty disappointed with this book.
It is a very good practical approach to business and marketing, but you could easily replace every instance of "music" or "jingle" with "widget," and have essentially the same book!

The author makes the assumption that every musician who can compose music already knows the construction of a jingle. He assumes that we all write jingles, we just need to know how to sell them. He in no way addresses the format, form, or content of advertising jingles.

These were the reasons I purchased this book, so I ended up getting nothing but a meandering discussion of how to promote myself.
