Filed under marketing

The following is an excerpt from the press release for the “100 Resources for DIY Musicians” brought to us by Gen Y Rockstars and Label 2.0.

2009 was a year of change for the music industry. From sliding CD sales to increased digital efforts to the changing face of music distribution and direct to fan sales systems.

Due to these extreme changes in music marketing and discovery, Gen-Y Rock Stars, a leading music marketing and social media blog for musicians and music industry professionals, has updated their premiere resource, “100 Resources For DIY Musicians.”

The original report was called “100 Social Media Resources For Musicians,” and has been downloaded over 5,000 times. It was created after leaving a music conference where Greg Rollett spoke on music marketing and was amazed at how little musicians were doing to take advantage of social media and the power of technology.

This updated resource includes every tool a musician needs to be successful online from blogging platforms to email service providers to essential social networks, industry bloggers, shopping cart solutions, musician tools, video cameras and so much more.

Writer of the resource Greg Rollett says, “Musicians have the power to build not only a career, but a business at an astonishing speed with all the tools that are available to them. The problem, they are only tools. Each musician needs to learn to use them and use them in the right situations in order to be successful.”
