1)
Jeffrey
P. Fisher's Moneymaking Music Tip of the Week
This ezine has climbed to the top of my list. It's still as short, sweet, and to
the point as ever. Quick inspirational tips on how to make it in the music
business. Fantastic guide to making, keeping, protecting, and growing your music
success fortune. Lots of good musician financial information.
2) Bob
Baker's The Buzz Factor
Still one of my favorites, Bob Bake has kept going when I just got too tired to.
It's not always my first read, but I read every issue because Bob Baker
continues to lead the pack with great music marketing and promotion tips.
3) Music
Biz Academy
If your looking for great Indie music business news, then the Music Biz Academy
is the place to look. David Nevue scours the net for the most relevant indie
news of interest, including articles and tips on the best new online music
services.
4) MusicDish e-Journal
MusicDish publishes a weekly newsletter packed with music commentaries
and information. There's a lot of stuff I don't give a second glace, but I
usually skim to see what the latest commentaries are and read those
most-interesting to me. And trust me, there's always at least two articles with
informative career tips by the top music biz professionals.
5)
MusicBiz
Daily
I'm not sure who runs the MusicBiz website, but I love the ezine. It has a very
simple design that captures the latest music business news in a very concise
format, and then offers links to the homepage where you can find out more.
Sometimes it's best not to clutter your readers with lots of links. And MusicBiz
does just that. Their motto should be, "Just music news!"
7) Indie-Music.com
Indie-Music.com has long been known as THE place to find everything music biz
related. If I need something, this is the first place I look because Suzanne
Glass knows the business and her newsletter shows it. The ezine is packed with
articles, information, and links for promoting your indie music business. If
there's any downside, it's that there is just too much info to easily go read,
but it is an essential ezine to subscribe to.
8) Indie
Contact Bible
Big Meteor publishing sends out a monthly newsletter that features the latest
additions to the book. This goes out every month to everyone who's ordered a
copy. It is a necessary ezine for those interested in staying abreast to the
latest music reviewers, radio programs, and online music services out there,
because every music biz person knows that if you want to be get your name out,
start with the Indie Contact Bible!
9) Inspiration for
Songwriters
Once a daily inspiration, Inspiration for Songwriters goes out about
three times a week filled with everything from songwriting tips to promotion and
advice on building a career as a songwriter. It's published by Ande Rasmussen,
president of the Austin Songwriter's Group and an award winning songwriter who's
always looking for co-writers.
10) The Galaris
Independent Musicians Newsletter
Well, I decided to include one more bonus ezine to my top ten list. You will
note that none of my top 10 ezines are HTML-based ezines. I find text ezines to
be much quicker, better-organized reads, but I would like to commend Galaris for
a decent ezine... despite the fact that it's HTML based. The newsletter reuses a
lot of other music promotion articles published online, but the friendly design
makes it an easy read once I view it through my browser.
