Marketing your music and yourself as an independent artist doesn't have to be complicated or expensive to be effective. You need to set your goals then lay out a music marketing plan to reach them.
Money Talks Records have found that young musicians understand their music, but are often intimidated by the marketing end of the business. Getting your message out there is one thing but getting the right message out there in another. Your professional image is of the utmost importance in order to rise above the rest.
Money Talks Records is here to help you market yourself the "right" way.
As a struggling independent music artist in a highly competitive, over-crowded market it should be left unsaid that you need to stand out from the crowd. Your professional image is of the utmost importance in order to rise above the rest. Take your photos seriously!
Your official publicity photos are very important items of your promo kit because they are probably the most striking and effective part of it. Your publicity photo has a significant psychological impact on how your music is perceived. Just like the cover of your CD conveys an image of your music, so too does the photos you put in your kit. Initially, photos will be sent to publicity contacts in the print media. These people will judge you by your visual image, as will fans and prospective fans when they see the photo in magazines and newspapers. In a business that hinges on image, photography represents image in its most immediate form. Money Talks Records takes great care in partnering with select professional photographers as well as making sure you get the right photos from the shoot.
