How much would you pay to.....

[Jason_Chase]

I'm thinking of building a website to help artists learn how to properly market their music on and offline and I was wondering how much would you pay to learn the following:

1. Get worldwide electronic distribution for less that $60.00

2. Learn how to sell your music and merch. from your facebook page through targeted marketing.

3. Get radio play around the world for less than $600.00

4. Build a mailing list and learn how to promote other products to them and make money in your sleep.

5. How to really use Twitter and build a true fan base with real followers not just numbers.

This is just the basics I have more but I want some of your feedback I'm seeing that a lot of artists need help in figuring out this Internet thing. Alright peace everybody!!

Not to knock off some of your stuff, but sites like cdbaby, itunes, etc are all considered "world wide distribution" but the effort is still notable. Merch sales still remain low this year through the internet. Majority of merch sales happen during shows, or when there is an appearance. #3 is payola #4 will keep your name in peoples "ears" constantly. Theres pro's and cons tho.. #5 is good deal. Currently the market loves twitter, and majority of artists out there twitter away. Good twitter messages are of what the artist is doing and how he's feeling. Good tweets keep comments short, and sweet. Even tweets like "I just been to this new food joint and the steak was great!" (lmao just example) capture the attention of followers.

Hmmm... The current cost to the artist you list is $660 before your fee.

I'd recommend charging $6 and catering exclusively to the heavy metal crowd.

What previous business experience do you have? Do you have economic backers, a business plan, industry contacts legal contracts for the artists drawn up? If so, good luck and more power to you. If you're a teenage kid dreaming at home you might want to do a little research into what you need to study to enter this, or any business field.
