New Book Uncovers the Secrets to Using MySpace for Promoting Music

January 30th, 2010

January 15, 2010 – Social networking sites are the hottest things in the internet these days. It is where one can find a lot of people. A new book entitled, MySpace Magic Manuscript, works off from this idea, providing musicians, producers and songwriters to promote their works and get them heard by millions in just a few minutes. Published by Platinum Millennium, a leading name in multi-media solutions, the book is available in downloadable format through MySpaceMagicManuscript.com.

“Few musicians and producers realize that they actually have a gold mine right under their noses in MySpace and other social networking sites,” says Ty Cohen, president of Platinum Millennium. “There are a lot of people who are on MySpace making it a great venue for marketing songs and even finding new and fresh talents to change the music industry landscape.”

MySpace Magic Manuscript features comprehensive and easy to follow steps on how musicians can tap into the social networking website for their marketing and promotional campaigns. It takes the user through various methods on how he can promote his music and his CDs by simply maintaining a page on MySpace and other similar websites.

“Originally, the mere idea of spending millions of dollars to find an audience for new music is more than enough to discourage new talents,” Cohen adds. He said that with the increased prevalence of the internet, even upcoming artists can easily attract a listener base for their songs without spending a lot on promotions. “There are lots of free marketing tools available out there,” he said. “The only challenge is to use them properly and MySpace Magic Manuscript offers tips on how to do just that.”

Indie Artists Can Make Millions Selling Music Online – Industry Expert

January 4th, 2010

December 12, 2009 – The internet is the perfect marketing tool for independent singers, rappers, songwriters, and music producers, according to a report by SellMusicOnlineLikeCrazy.com – a website that provides members with the tools needed to successfully market any music genre online.

“The most recent ZDNET Research study states that 16% of all music sold in Europe and the United States will be sold online. In fact, in 2008, the online music industry generated over $1 billion,” explains Ty Cohen, president of Platinum Millennium Publishing, which runs  SellMusicOnlineLikeCrazy.com.

“The numbers don’t lie,” Cohen continues. “There is a big online music market out there, and independent artists who have no record deals and no access to other traditional ways of distributing their music can very easily take advantage of the internet to sell their music and make serious money.”

Cohen was among the first music industry veterans to realize the potential of online music marketing and make money from the trend. Through his new course offering entitled “Sell Music Online Like Crazy,” he offers a complete guide to promoting and selling music via the internet.

“We teach you actual techniques,” he explains. “The course shows you how to get top websites to promote your music. We show you exactly how you can make money and get you royalty checks every month just by selling our music online.”

According to Cohen, the course is a step-by-step plan that anyone can follow. “We even demonstrate how you can build a loyal online fan base that will be receptive to everything you sell to them – from  your MP3s to your t-shirts, posters, etc. More importantly, we show you how you can easily and painlessly build a professional website where you can sell your music and related merchandise from – all on autopilot.”

Those who have tried Cohen’s method have been satisfied.

“I used to send demo CD after demo CD to big-shot music labels, but got unsatisfactory response,” says Greg Odell, a professional online promoter of independent artists. “After completing the course, I realized who inefficient my old method was. Now, I use the internet to promote and distribute the music of my artists, and business has more than quadrupled.”

The ““Sell Music Online Like Crazy” course is downloadable from the SellMusicOnlineLikeCrazy.com website. On top of the manual, buyers also get audio CDs and online marketing blueprints. Discounts are available to early buyers.
