Watch this video for a quick summary…

My belief is that today’s music business has more opportunity for musicians and songwriters than ever before. If you’re willing to take control of your career and embrace change, you can be successful.

Six-Figure Musician – How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows, and Make More Money in the Music Business is 272 pages of “big picture” ideas and proven marketing strategies that will help you to succeed in the new music business. It is a realistic, hype-free guide that will help you get to unleash your music and make a great living.

Right now, you can get a copy free.

Why Free?

The “short answer” is that I’m more interested in spreading ideas that can change the music business than making a few bucks. I don’t want a few dollars to be a barrier to people getting this very important information. Letting you download the book for free lets those who feel they can’t afford it access the information as well as lets those who can afford it suspend their skepticism and try it before purchasing.

My goal is to provide you with so much value that, even though you can get the entire book for free, you’ll still want to pay for it.

If you’d like to purchase this book and help support what I’m doing, I have a couple of low-priced, paid options available, including a $2.99 Kindle version and a paperback for under $20. There is also an audio book you can get free with a trial subscription to Audible.

If you feel this information is worthwhile and you’d like to support me in creating future books, I hope you’ll choose one of the paid options.
