I agree with sticking with a few networking sites. And I really didn’t set out to – just got caught up and wasn’t paying attention. Now, if only I can get everyone on the same page at the same time- that would be great…have any ideas on how Please let me know-I’m about to renig on all of them.
Again, thanks for the good info.

Dexter, Funny that you mentioned Gerd Leonhard because I was looking through one of his sites the other day and came across Music 2.0. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s high on my list of books to read. I guess he’s kind of the new Donald Passman…

Mika, what you say here is so true. Artists have to let go of the fantasy of getting signed and becoming famous on a record label. Artists are now their own label and they must learn how to operate like one and fulfill all the functions that labels used to.

Sounds to me like you’ve read Music 2.0 by Gerd Leonhard The future is here.

Peace+Love+Music,

Barbara, no wonder you’re burned out. 60 sites is a whole lot. I’m willing to bet that half of those won’t generate any return on time investment simply because you’re spreading yourself so thin…if I were in your shoes, I would pick a few of the most relevant and active sites/social networks and develop relationships there. Remember, time investment is no different than capital investment. You want to divert it to where you’re going to get the biggest bang for the buck…

Wow! This is valuable information, and though some of it has been bouncing around in my nugget for some time now, it’s good to know that it wasn’t just an idea or thought that ran across briefly.

Executing it; now that’s a whole ‘nother ball of wax for me. After writing all the music, singing it, designing the CD cover, getting it pressed…heck, Now I’m burnt out. Not to mention all the networking sites I accidentally created. And with that too, if you’re not faithful to – the connects will forget you soon as you joined in with them.

Sadly and funny to say, I’ve somehow found myself spreaded verrrrry thin across the more than 60 sites, Yes you heard me right, 60 that I have signed onto…trying to drum up a following! Don’t need to tell you how tired I am of this nonsense…lol

I am very serious about my music and won’t give up at all…although this is not my first rodeo, it is my first CD…

Thanks for the info, I will pass it on. Keep informing us, we really do need some calculated direction.
