 A comprehensive guide that every musical artist should read August 29, 2008
A truly comprehensive book that every musical artist should read before attempting to promote themselves on the Internet. It not only covers the do's and don't's of website creation, but guides the reader through many of the other online promotional tools available. As both a computer and music business professional, I can attest to all of the trial and error that independent artists go through when it comes to the Internet. This book will spare them most of that and take them right to the stuff that works. I highly recommend it.
 This Is Going To Be A Bible for Musicians Working the Web August 27, 2008
Reading this book has renewed my focus as a musician. The "State of the Market Chapter," is and account of the reality that the music business itself doesn't want to address, and that all players need to understand. I disagree with the writer that you really need to learn HTML (sorry, not going there) but what he says about strategy got me fired up and swinging. Its a Brave New World out there. I think this book does a good job of defining it and what musicians need to do to survive in it. It's going to be a Bible to get'r done.

This is one of those few books about web marketing that doesn't require the Geek Squad to help you become a user of the essence of the book. It is extremely well-written and researched, and gives genuine no-nonsense guidance to those in the music business about how to use the web to promote their artistry in a business environment. I've adopted this book for my use in the college classroom because it's an excellent guide for my students, but it's also a valuable tool for the music professional who wants to use the Internet as a way to compete for the ears of music consumers.
