Book Description

July 1, 2005
There is nothing you love more than making music and performing. But you also realize that to make money doing what you love, there is a lot you need to learn.

To be successful you need more than talent. Making Music Your Business gives working musicians what they need to make more money with their music and take their passion to the next level.

Get inside information and learn how to:

--Sign a manager, business manager and booking agent.
--Sell more CDs and merchandise.
--Deduct the cost of equipment from money you make.
--Legally sample and cover other artists' music.
--Use your press kit to book shows.
--Protect the music you write.
--Rid your band of deadbeat members.
--Decide which publishing company to join.
--Make more at shows.
--Succeed with a better website and by using online music sources.

The music business is as much about the business as the music.

Be a success at both.

5.0 out of 5 stars The business of publishing, signing contracts, protecting copyright - all is covered under one cover, October 8, 2005
This review is from: Making Music Your Business: A Practical Guide to Making $ Doing What You Love (Paperback)
Music and giving performances is one thing, but making money doing it is something else again: you need more than talent to be successful, and Making Music Your Business: A Practical Guide To Making Money Doing What You Love covers all the business basics of the industry. Here are topics not usually given much treatment in more general business or music books, from how to use a booking agent and public original music to finding a manager, performing on tour, and selling your own cds. The business of publishing, signing contracts, protecting copyright - all is covered under one cover.
