Must-Follow Music Business Blogs

Part 76

  When you write a blog that has anything to do with music business, you are always on a look out for other bloggers. Some of these bloggers have a wealth of information to share, so I thought I'd mention few of my favorite ones here. I have mentioned in the past Bob Bakers Indie music promotion blog at: http://music-promotion-blog.blogspot.com/  and I am sure I will mention it again in the future. This blog must have been one of the first ones that I started following, and I must admit it has changed my way of looking at the music business big time! Now much later I came across Chris Rocketts blog Promote your music at: http://www.promoteyourmusic.net. Even though internet promotion for your music is pretty global thing, both of these blogs occasionally do include the good old fashioned street level promotion (gigs, etc). So what attracted me towards Chris's blog lately is the fact that he is based in London, which not only geographically is closer to Dublin, but also this “street level” stuff work much in the same way than in Dublin. Chris also has more hands on mentoring glasses, where you get more one on one guidance for small fee. But at the moment he is offering some of his lucky followers years access in to his Music marketing classroom. Chris really do have some serious ideas to share, so if you are looking to get a bit of a boost to your music promotion, this would be a great place to start.

Here is also a video to explain how it all works:



  Both Bob and Chris are great examples of the welth of information on the net to help you on your music career. Other two blogs I would need to mention here, and highly recomend you follow them: Brian Thompsons Thorny Bleeder has been a source of so much up to date info in the past few years for me. He's daily news letter is priceless! You can find his blog at: http://www.thornybleeder.com/ . And another great blog is Michael Branvolds: http://www.michaelbrandvold.com/
  There are hundreds, if not even thousands more out there (including yours truely), so keep looking. You can and will learn something new every day. Do you follow some music business, or otherwise music related blogs? If so, post them here in the comments for all of us to discover.
