Reader Reviews
This review is from: Ruthless Self-Promotion in the Music Industry (Paperback) This is the second book from Jeffrey Fisher that I have read. It is definitely on my list of Required Reading for music business success. The first book of his that I read was his book on jingles and soundtracks. There is some overlap between the two books, but this book is newer and the content is geared towards musicians and bands. There are many other books that give you the foundation about how the music business operates, but this book does a great job of covering the area that most independent bands/artists are lacking in the most, self-promotion! Plenty of great ideas to get you going with successfully promoting yourself in the music biz. Jeffrey writes in a very easy to read and friendly style that keeps you engrossed. Not only is he a great writer, but he gives his personal contact information in the book and encourages readers to contact him directly! How many authors do you know that would do that?
