Record Label Business Plan

Now, here’s a REAL FIND! This is a brand new product and it’s so full of bonuses and useful extras, it’s would be a steal at four times the price.

Beautifully put together and really well researched, this is a resource you’ll want regardless of whether you actually want to make your own label or not. In fact, this is not even the real point of this book. It’s an excellent “how-to” guide for your music promotion, and as such it’s one of the very best we’ve seen!

As it’s a relatively new product, we couldn’t find any reviews on R.ecommended.com or IMReportCard.com, but Google research reveals a number of happy customers already.

DIY Guide To The Music Biz

$37.00

DIY Guide To The Music Biz

There are literally hundreds of “How To” products out there today. Most essentially clone one another and few bring anything new to the table.

The DIY Guide to the Music Biz goes through many of the same concepts, but it’s up to date and has lots of information that would take you weeks, if not months, to otherwise unearth the hard way.  On top of it all, it’s highly readable and well-informed. Definitely worth the trouble!

It’s an informational product by Carla Lynne, and this is the latest 2010 version. Independent music distribution ebook on how to sell your music using the worldwide web – and much more.

As it’s a relatively new product, we couldn’t find any reviews on R.ecommended.com or IMReportCard.com, but we did find plenty of postings from the readers across the web, and almost invariably the feedback is excellent.

We’ve compared this to a few dozen similar books and we’re actually quite impressed with the structure and organization, as well as Carla’s very clever insights. This is probably one of the best books on the subject we’ve ever read!

We thought this product stood out above most of the rest and it’s a fine complement to an indie’s library of valuable resource books.

$27.00

Music Marketing Manifesto

Now, here’s one area we all know quite a bit about, and it’s one of those bottomless wells, where no matter how deep you go, you’ve still got a lot left to learn. As we did with all the other products here, we’ve tested it and scoured the web for reviews. It’s a really good product and that’s exactly why we decided to feature it here.

Music Marketing Manifesto is an info product by John Oszajca that was released in March 2008. Music Marketing Manifesto is the title of the product for sale, and it costs $27.00

R.ecommended.com have calculated that it has an approximate refund rate of 0.58%* when purchased at the standard price of $27.00 which is shockingly low, and suggests the vast majority of customers were happy with their purchase. They rate this extremely highly at 4.03/5.

IMReportCard.com has no rating for this.

This being a music promotion-related product, we took a lot of care and days of research before we decided to recommend it. This, along with a small handful of other products we’ve selected here  is definitely among the cream of the crop.

Welcome to our blog! It is intended for independent artists from around the world. It’s also aimed at music and radio industry professionals with open minds. We aim to provide our readers with the best and most up-to-date information on a wide range of music-related topics, including:

  • The definitive guide to music websites, including site reviews, comments, rankings and ratings (this section is being updated almost every day so check back often!)
  • Indie resources and the best links to sites, services and products which we believe can be tremendously useful to our guests.
  • Articles and analyses of the state of play in the entertainment world. This includes mainstream market analyses – Radio, Major Labels, Music Television, SmartPhones, Other Media
  • Latest news from our favorite indies (e.g. releases, gigs, etc – and you’re welcome to submit your posts for this one too!)
  • Interviews with entertainment industry luminaries, including more than a handful of household names as well as behind-the-scenes movers and shakers!
  • General purpose articles, including production and songwriting tips and techniques
  • Off-topic articles (if they can at least tentatively relate to the creative/songwriting side)
  • On the lighter side: Tip of The Day – for just about anyone!

IndieMusicPlanet.com is an initiative started by the creators of Fame Games Radio, on the wave of recent developments surrounding that unique format. The world of independent music is, frankly, in shambles and unless somebody does something to address the imbalance, we’ll be stuck with repeater-radio and mindless music dominating the airwaves forever – wihtout even being acknowledged by the “presenters” (that’s if you tune in to a station that actually hase them!).

We have nothing against light music. But we have everything against a rigged game – and this is exactly what is going on. Worst of all, however, is that the millions of artists take this lying down. And their fans don’t seem to mind. Golden opportunities are routinely missed as all this mindless injustice is allowed to go on.

And if it at least served somebody. If at least Radio got rich on this or Labels got fat. But not even this applies anymore! Radio and Records are driving the music business into the ground, and Indies don’t have a leader.

We’ve never ran a proper blog before, but it’s probably never too late to start. We hope you will join us and remember that your support and participation in this initiative are essential if you want to see a real change for the better in the world of music. But… if you’d rather just sit at home and moan about the state of the music business today – ignore this blog!

Look around this site and keep checking back daily! We’re adding all sorts of invaluable links here just for you. We also encourage you to take part in the exchange of ideas here and post your comments and articles alongside ours (if editorial standards are met).

Enjoy the site and feel free to give your feedback and share any news you think everyone should know!

AND NOW A WORD OR TWO ABOUT THE FOUNDERS…

Paul Sedkowski, co-founder of Meer Music International and co-creator of Fame Games, has spent most of his life in music.

He’s worked with platinum-selling managers, producers, artists and songwriters.  From long-term partnerships with John Coletta (manager Deep Purple, Whitesnake), Derek Lawrence (producer, Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash, Hot Chocolate), Rob Davis (Grammy-winning songwriter Mud, Kylie Minogue, Enrique Iglesias, Fragma, Spillers Groovejet), Andy Tumi (Supafly va Fishbowl, Sugababes, Da Funk), Mary-Jane Trokel (director Entertainment Tonight, Solid Gold, Tonight Show), to shorter stints with the likes of Robin Thicke (producer, songwriter, artist), Paul Harris (Grammy-winning dance producer), Dennis Kirkland (director Benny Hill shows),  and more.

Paul’s lifelong passion is to bring back balance to the music industry by giving talented new artists a platform to shine and conquer.

Together with Laura Krier (singer/songwriter, a.k.a. dj crier), he’s formed Fame Games Radio to accomplish just that. The present Indie Music Planet Blog aims to take that mission to the next level!
