New business models are springing up everyday these days.
The Maine know how to capitalize and have branded themselves very well.
I’m anxious to see how this tour does.
…for the lack of posts followers! I’ve been very busy and have been away on vacation, but I will return. No need to worry! Ask me some questions in the meantime! : )

This website is a great source of information for anything music business related.
What other websites do you know of for anything music business related?
We would be lost without our CRM software for our business so if we were in bands, we would use this: http://ow.ly/16tlc #bandize
If you are a full time touring band with established income this makes sense. Organization is always key.
This is what we call a monopoly and it’s only the beginning.
jofoyo asked: Hey! I'm a Music Business and Technology major at Millersville University in PA. My "dream job" is to write reviews for music magazines or websites... Billboard being #1. Are there a lot of job opportunities for a writer in the industry?
Yes, there are plenty of places that offer job opportunities. I would recommend you start by making a personal blog writing your own reviews to attract some interest. Try to to get an internship with places that interest you and work your butt off! Magazines are a tough industry to break into, but work on your chops and do all that you can to get yourself noticed.
Anonymous asked: i would love to intern abroad, what is the best way to go about that?
The best thing you could probably do is research online possible places of interest you would like to intern abroad. Look to see if any places are offering internship opportunities and if nothing is listed look for a place of contact. Make sure you have your resume ready to send over upon request!
