All those wishing to bring music to the world AND maintain business control of that process, are now in luck. Music business educator Peter Spellman has launched "MusicBiz eGuides," resource-rich electronic handbooks for those desiring to start and manage their own music-related companies.
"These are guides you can refer to again and again because they are full of easy-to-apply 'best business practices' any music company can benefit from," says Spellman. "Just put them on your desktop and you'll have a reliable entrepreneurial tool kit to meet all your small music business needs." MusicBiz eGuides focus on serving the fast-growing population of "micro" music businesses. From booking agencies and indie record labels to small retailers and music production houses, we're seeing a groundswell of music entrepreneurial activity galvanized by segmenting markets, loads of small business support resources, and empowering digital tools and media. Each MusicBiz eGuide is packed with market intelligence, smart management ideas, and fresh perspectives on essential music business issues and practices. Each eGuide is available electronically as an Adobe .pdf (portable document format), complete with search feature, hyperlinked text and free shipping! The series debuts with "INDIE POWER: A BUSINESS-BUILDING GUIDE FOR RECORD LABELS, MUSIC PRODUCTION HOUSES, AND MERCHANT MUSICIANS" by Peter Spellman, director of career development at Berklee College of Music, Boston, USA.
