An Open Letter to Any Musician Who Wants to Make $100,000 (or More) in the Music Business

You're in a career where it's considered "normal" to be broke. If you were doing anything else for a living, you'd have given up by now.

Screw 'em. The truth is, if you know what to do, you can make a lot of money as a musician.

This book shows you what to do. You'll learn exactly how to make money with your music - in the club, on the Internet, and on the road.

Here's a taste of what's waiting for you...

  • A songwriting secret from successful drag queens and pissed off karaoke singers so potent, it almost guarantees a great song!
  • How a $10 "kitchen appliance" will make you a better songwriter
  • 4 proven "cures" for music business burnout and overwhelm
  • What it takes for a musician to make $150,000/year (with only 500 fans)
  • Rules for social media. Ignore these at your own risk.
  • "Superfan" Secrets - How to develop fans who buy everything you sell.

It was good

This book was good but not great for beginners. I felt like it lacked some of the practical skills to start from the beginning. it is probably best suited to a band or artist who already has an album worth of songs and are playing at least at their local pub on the weekend. This book will give you the skills to expand your gig opportunities, make some decent cash and to distribute your cds and merch. However if you are a beginner trying to get your first album written, land your first gig or start your promoter contact network then this book is a bit of a leap.

Deebee Bishop a suitcase of homework

David Hooper has certainly worked hard preparing this book. There is nothing startling, in fact most of the info I’ve read before. But to have it all in one book is great. Well worth a listen.
One thing to note… in my opinion money is always second best when it comes to being a creative.
Not everything has to do with what will increase income.
