MySpace Music Marketing: book review

I purchased Bob Baker's book "MySpace Music Marketing" and I have to tell that although it is just the beginning already what I have learned from the book works wonderfully for me. Our daily play of songs jumped from 4-5 a day to over 100 a day. It's really good. [...] I strongly recommend the book to anyone who wants to get big exposure on MySpace. What's beautiful about it is that regardless if this is music, art, or business you will gain a lot from the ideas contained in the book. Henryk

A great guide for bands and artists to create a buzz on myspace

I am a guitarist, songwriter and now a myspace artist. I bought this book before I even had a myspace page. And I'm glad I did so. This book has lots of tips that would probably have taken me a long time to figure out on my own. It is a detailed step-by-step guide to exactly what a band or artist needs to do from the very beginning with their myspace page. One thing you have to remember is that marketing, including myspace music marketing, is not an exact science. But this book guides you on how to target and connect with the people on myspace who are most likely to become your fans and spread the word about your music. Just do a search on my name and visit my myspace page if you want to see how I've used the advice and suggestions in this book to create my own buzz on myspace. Moving Pictures

MySpace Music Marketing

I have recently been purchasing many of Bob Baker's wonderful books! They are ALL VERY concise, informative and very easy to understand. The "MySpace Music Marketing" book has so many ways for the indie musician to 'get ahead' in the business. I recommend this book and ANY of Bob's other if you are serious about your music career.

Good info even for Web/MySpace savvy musicians

I bought this book a short time ago and am still reading. Even though I've been doing website work for almost a decade and am quite proficient in the ins and outs of Myspace, this book is *really* a useful tool for my band. In the first hour of reading it I made approximately a dozen changes to our Myspace profile and band website which will make a significant impact on our internet presence as a whole. The book does a lot for beginners but also does something that is critical for performing musicians - it points out a lot of things we tend to miss because of the mindset we as musicians tend to maintain and the direction we market from. It also points out some of the downsides and dangers of Myspace marketing so you can avoid them or use them to an advantage. The book also walks you through the process of starting a myspace profile with the goal of band marketing in mind and takes it from there. Whether you're just starting out or experienced in the functions of myspace, this book serves as an eye-opener to a variety of options you may have overlooked in your quest to make fans out of strangers.
