Review

I am so impressed by how current, clear, and concise this book is. Ariel Hyatt packs an amazing punch with Music Success in 9 Weeks. If you buy one music business book this year, make it this one. --Mari Rosa, Independent Musician

Not only does Ariel have a passion for giving independent musicians what they need to succeed, but she's also got the expertise and keen insight to deliver! Music Success In Nine Weeks will give you a system that demystifies the oft-overwhelming world of PR and marketing and give you what you need to REALLY make things happen for yourself! Applying Ariel's tools to my music career has given me an edge I haven't found anywhere else, even in the training I've had as a corporate marketing professional! This is one of the best investments I've ever made and I know you will feel the same. Come, join the world of artists taking their careers up several notches with Ariel's help! --Heather Marie Philipp, Jazz-based singer/songwriter and national marketing professional

Everyone needs an Ariel! --Derek Sivers, CD Baby

5.0 out of 5 stars Start Here to Get There, December 10, 2009
By John F. Lehman (Rockdale Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Music Success In Nine Weeks (Paperback)
This is an expensive, little manual that may be worth its weight in gold many times over for the right person. But that last provision is a critical one. I have had years in sales, marketing and public relations and can tell you that everything you need to launch a successful venture (whether that's in music or something else) is not only here but in a clear, concise, viable form that would be easy to implement--from the elevator pitch to optimizing your web site to grad-school in the use of social media. There is great networking advice and how-to's on formatting a press release and/or choosing a publicist.

This book's list of resources sent me to its Internet, and I am grateful for the straight dope on how to use the technical tools now out there. Too often our myopic friends at Face Book, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube assume we already know what we need to know. If time is money Music Success can save you a bundle. And the wisdom is solid: (from the section on networking) "The biggest goal of networking is: be Memorable. How do you do that? Simple: The more that they talk, the more memorable you are."

But here's the catch. Most people I've dealt with believe their product or service will, given the right opportunity, sell itself. Nothing sells itself. But having that correct orientation doesn't come easily. That's what I mean by the "right person." We are ego driven and blind to what works for others, so caught up in personality we don't realize (or appreciate) what it takes to cut through the clutter. Ariel Hyatt is right in starting with a chapter on "Getting Mentally Prepared," but I just bet many impatient readers will skip over what it says. My advice, read that chapter in the bookstore and if you do what it says, go back and buy the book--you've passed the test. If you don't, well as they say in show-biz, "Don't give up your day job."

What I would have added are concrete examples of how a musician or group actually do their pitch, have an ideal web site and/or use social media to build a fan base. I understand what the author is asking us to do but it would be much more compelling if I could experience it through what someone else has already done successfully. But I love the fill in the blanks tasks: "Ideas for getting your funnel filled, "What is the most interesting thing about you/your band as a story?" or "Start with blogs that you like and then list and check out 50 other blogs they link to."

Now if only I could sing or play an instrument.
