Digital Record Label Tools

I can remember when I first thought about getting into the music biz.I was introduced to the business by a DJ, and at he start, I was the executive producer, temporary manager, A&R, Radio promotions, etc. I even book many show with major hip hop artist. I think then it was less competition.Now recording artist and producers now have the ability to, promote, and sell music online without a major label. You must have to have a BUZZ. This means you have to promote, online and brick and mortar.

Right now it's not about having a flashy website, just good graphics and content. For example, take a look at craigslist.com, it’s not flashy, just a good and effective online classified ad site that works. I lived off of craigslist.com for over a year.
