Download Cards Deliver Serious Profits to Musicians via The Musicians Cooler - Where Musicians Trade Advice
Download Cards - Another Tool For the Music Marketing Mind
Today I have a discussion with Matthew James of Music Manufacturing Services at www.mmsdirect.com where in addition to offering to manufacturer your musicon CDs, and Vinyl they now offer Music Download Cards. You can have 500 cards created for around .64 each. You decide how many songs a person can download (up to 25) if/wehn it will expire, and how much the cards costs. As people are use to spending .99 on a song, if you sell a card that enables them to download 12 songs for $6.00 you would be makingsome seriousprofit. Thisis agreat tool to add to your music marketing arsenal.
Another benefit of Music Download Cards is that it enables you to sell downloads without a credit card. A person could either pay in cash at a gig, or...
Live Looping - Never Split Your Pay Again via The Musicians Cooler - Where Musicians Trade Advice
This show originates from www.musicianscooler.comand is brought you by the Mevi Super Panel where you can win cash and prizes for voiceing your opinion about the Mevio website, and for getting previews of shows, videos, and more. Sign up at superpanel.mevio.com
Today we are talking about “Live Looping.” This is where you have a pedal that you record a chord progression (or percussion) and it plays it over and over (it “loops” it). More and more sophisticated technology has come out where you can have multiple parts that play on top of each other (with the ability to stop just one certain loop). The best part is if you live in an area where there are no other musicians, you can go out and play LIVE with a few pieces of technology.

Does Your Gig Have Fireworks? via The Musicians Cooler - Where Musicians Trade Advice
This show originates from www.musicianscooler.com
Does your Gig Have Fireworks?
I watched a fireworks display on the 4th of July (USA Birthday party). I noticed something that applies to gigs.
They start with a big bang, and get people’s attention.
They then get into some rhythm.
The end “sets” with a flourish and leave people wanting more.
They mix up the big bangs with softer booms, the red explosions with the green ones.
The end with their best performance.
So you can follow this lead. Make sure each set ends with a great song to entice people to stay. Make sure you don’t play a bunch of songs that sound the same (even though fireworks are great, if you watch the same type over and over, it gets boring). Most importantly, leave it all on the stage. When a...

Getting the Most Out of Free Downloads via The Musicians Cooler - Where Musicians Trade Advice
Today we get a great idea about getting the most exposure from free downloads on your site.
Getting the Most Out of Your Band’s Free Downloads
If you’re worried about giving your music fore free, I would agree. Typically most people require a enail address and name (so sign up for the newsletter to get a free song). Some people make free music available to those who purchase their CD (available as “bonus” material). But there are those that want to take the Chic Fil-A at the mall approach and give you a song for free in hopes that you buy the whole CD (where at the Mall the Chic Fil-A restaturant gives you a piece of chicken hoping you will buy a whole sandwich). But if these people take your music and like it, they may not know how to get more.
