If you set up a relationship with a podcaster when your next album comes out you can send it to podcasters befoe you list it on the PMN to make them feel special. It’s all about the relationship.

Jule Blake from www.getmusicsuccess.com and Music Biz Website Pro gave me the book The Small Business Millionaire by Steve Chandler and Sam Beckford. This book has some great marketing tips, but instead of being a boring "ROI, and Stats book" its in a story format. I’m having a hard time putting it down. However, I got it for free. The cool marketing slant is in the bokk there was a postcard promoting all of his past books. Now I really like this book, and do you think I”ll be interested in buying some of his old stuff (or better yet, his NEXT book). Absolutely

Asked his fans and friends in the social media world what they preferred downloads or physical CDs? It was almost completely split. Some know the CD is better quality, but some said they don’t want the storage hassle of the physical product.

Paul Bordenkircher of www.mesasand.com
Hear out last show about Audio Flyers and it got him to thinking that (espcially in the Christian Market) artist could make their tracks available as backing tracks for their fans to sing in their churches. (GREAT IDEA PAUL!).
When I have worked with Christian music, I see where people are paying 7, 9, 10, 12 for a SINGLE SONG. Now granted these are typically with different keys. But all you needs is a version with and a version without your vocal. You may find a whole new market in your fans.
