How To Get Signed - The Best Way To Get A Record Deal

How To Get A Record Deal

If you've ever wondered how to get signed or how to get a record deal,
then this is the guide for you. There is a lot of very valuable
information in this article, so if you find it useful, please share it
on your favourite social networking website (E.G Facebook, Twitter ,
Google + etc) or your own site.

The reason this guide came about is because the old method of getting
signed to a record label has died out. It used to be enough to simply
have a talent and bump into the right person, but not any more. No more
will sending your demo to a record label give you the chance of being
signed, you now have to do a lot more to get on the radar of a record
label a&r.

Despite the old methods not working anymore, when you do a search for
how to get signed to a record label, you still see articles giving
outdated advice. This article aims to change that.

Hi guys, just to let you know The IMA Music Business Academy has now
opened it's doors and is taking on new members. In the last post, I

Can You Fast Track Your Music Career?

Fast Track Music Business Career

As many of us know, progressing your music career can be a long
journey. It's not uncommon for musicians to be working at things for
years before they start to gain any real recognition, and even then
they may not be where they want to be. Unfortunately however, many
people give up on their music long before that. The lack of results and
the feeling of an uphill struggle can take it's toll, and often the
best option appears to be giving up completely.

But why does it take so long to get your music to the stage where
you're seeing real results? Can you fast track music at all, or do you
simply have to go through the grind before you get reap the rewards?
This is what we look at today.

Release And Sell Your Music, Just Don't Forget To Promote It

Make Sure Your Music Release Doesn't Lack Promotion

When it comes to releasing music, there's something I've noticed: While
musicians generally put a lot of effort into putting out a CD or
digital release, many put nowhere near as much effort into promoting
this release. This is a shame, as promoting your music is one of the
most important parts of releasing your music. Whether you're releasing
your music online or as a CD, if you don't promote it, people won't
know it exists.

So what does promoting your music count as, sending out a few tweets?
Sharing a link to your download on Facebook? Well, no. If you want a
good amount of people to know about your release, you need to do a lot
more promotion then that...

A Bit More About Independent Music Advice (IMA)

Sometimes I get emails asking about IMA and the work we do. Because of
this, I thought I'd show you a bit more about what we do and why we do
it. In short: This site is there to help independent musicians learn
the business side of the music industry. Why do we do this? Because a
lot of people could be making a lot more then what they currently do,
but simply don't have the knowledge to make it happen. That is why we
provide this information, to help guide you and make your music journey
a much better one.

Why Learn The Music Business?

If you've ever tried to release a song or even give your music away for
free, you'll know how hard it is to get people to listen. You need to
ask yourself, are you making money from your music? Do you know who
your biggest fans are in terms of sales and dedication to your cause?
If you have a gig today, do you know which of your fans are most likely
to turn up? Furthermore, would you even know how to get people to come
down to your gigs?

The music industry is a lot tougher then a lot of people think. It's
not as simple as creating a CD, telling people to buy it, and a load of
people magically find your website and buy your music. There's a lot
more to it then that, and certain things need to be done before people
will be interested in buying your songs. In fact, there's a lot more
that needs to be done before people are even willing to download your
songs for free these days!

The freedom of the internet has meant that everyone has a voice, and
the average music fan has got fed up of listening. So what can you do
to get fans interested in your music particularly?

This is where independent Music Advice (IMA) come in! By learning the
business of music, you will be in a position to properly market
yourself in a way that will make people listen. You will learn key
business practices to get your music on the map, and start making money
from your music career.

We offer a lot of free music business advice on this website, but if
you really want to take the music industry by storm and have your
career take off, you need to check out the IMA Music Business Academy.
This is where we give you a step by step guide on what you need to do
to make it as an independent musician. It is possible to make a part
time or full time living from your music, and it's possible to do that
without the help of a record label or getting signed.

The problem I see a lot however, is musicians promoting in the wrong
way. They are convinced that their marketing efforts are moving them
forward, when in fact they are simply wasting their time and energy. We
aim to put a stop to this, and only focus on what is proven to work in
the music industry. While in IMA we cover a load of topics that people
have requested from us, in the IMA Music Business Academy, we only
cover things that are proven to move your music forward. No time
wasting, no fluff: Only the good stuff!

Music Industry Knowledge

Independent Music Advice provide you with all the knowledge you need to
tackle the music industry by yourself. The music industry can be a
tough one, and one where good knowledge and advice isn't freely
available. This is why we decided to set up this site, so you could
find everything you need in one place.

Music Industry Jobs

If you want a job in the music industry, you need to be able to have a
good working knowledge of how things work. There are a lot of different
jobs you can take up in the music business: A musician, a ghost-writer,
a wedding singer, a music producer, a blogger, and much more. Each of
these jobs has pros and cons, so it's up to you to decide which is
right for you. We give a lot of advice on all different types of music
business jobs, so have a look around the site for more information.

If you like the information we provide on this website, please share it
around via Facebook, Twitter, your own websites, or anywhere else you
think other people will find it useful. This is only quick for you to
do, but will mean a great deal to us. Thanks again for visiting
Independent Music Advice, bookmark us and enjoy your stay.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
