Derek Sivers, CD Baby founder releases free e-book for indie artists.

Derek-Sivers-free-ebook-downloadDerek Sivers, founder and president of CD Baby and the indie artist’s modern day hero has put out a free e-book titled ‘How to Call Attention to Your Music’. Readers of his blog will know how precise and precious his advice his.

For any band that wishes to get a label, it is necessary that they be popular before hand. From Derek’s book - Record labels aren’t guessing anymore.  They’re only signing artists that have made a success on their own.  As Alan Elliott says, “A record label used to be able to look at a tree and say, ‘That would make a great table.’ Now all they can do is take a finished table and sell it at Wal-Mart.” 

Nine chapters filled up to the brim with insights on marketing without a budget, audience segmentation, keeping it real and how to use the internet to get your music heard. A review is warranted, but when the New Testament of Indie Music’s Bible is only 71 pages long, with a large font for good measure, just dive in.

Your enlightenment is assured.
