The single most important thing you can do to start getting calls from music managers. Why you need a business and marketing plan and how to write it. How to protect yourself from falling victim to unscrupulous managers. What music management is all about and why it pays to self-manage your career. Whether you just released your first song or are a seasoned musician ready to take your music career to the next level, this book is for you. You should already know how to manage your music career before you decide to get a manager. Because only then will you be perceived as desirable to work with. But the sad thing is... most artists have no clue when it comes to the most important aspects of managing a music career. Many artists think they just have to get their music heard to be successful. Believe it or not, that's really just the tip of the iceberg. If you believe you can carve out a successful music career all on your own - without any help, you are basically committing career suicide. You need to find others who have made it and follow in their footsteps. But if you don't know how to get (and deal) with a manager, you might find yourself getting ripped off. Simply put... Most indie artists don't have a real strategy for building a successful music career. Many struggle for years going nowhere, achieving nothing... and end up returning to (or staying stuck at) an unfulfilling day job barely earning enough money to support themselves and their family living a life of quiet desperation with their hopes and dreams crushed. It's a terrible thing to see! But we've got good news for you... You do not have to end up like most struggling artists because for the first time ever, we've together the ultimate roadmap to help you take control of your own music career. And guess what?
