In just 7 months, TuneCore, (
http://www.tunecore.com) the music industry
model changing delivery and distribution service, enabled its customers to
earn 100% of the over $1,000,000 dollars of music sales at iTunes, Rhapsody,
eMusic, MusicNet, Napster, Sony Connect and others. It's already caught on
with musicians like Frank Black, Secondhand Serenade, Tapes 'n Tapes, Joe
Ely and Izzy Stadlin. Ricky Skaggs and Ziggy Marley each used TuneCore for
their recent GRAMMY winning albums. For the first time in the history of
the music industry, Grammy award winning artists received 100% of the
revenue from the sale of their music.
To help its customers sell more music, TuneCore just posted a free, 28-page
booklet Music Industry Survival Manual: How To Market, Promote and Make
Money from Your Music While Keeping Your Rights that we thought might be of
interest. The booklet offers specific step by step strategies, tips and
tools for musicians to get their music heard and sold.
"Technology can change things. In the case of the music industry, it
destroyed it" begins TuneCore's survival manual, which includes information
about its own revolutionary digital delivery and distribution model as a key
tool for musicians.
TuneCore's model is disruptive: for the first time in the history of the
music industry artist, musicians and labels now have access to global
distribution under a radical model that takes no distribution fee, no rights
to masters, no exclusivity and no artificial royalty period.
Topics covered in the Music Industry Survival Manual include: Technology;
Marketing & Promotion; Street Marketing; College Radio Promotion; Press &
Media Promotion; Blog Promotion; and Merchandising. It's available for
anyone at

In a recent story on TuneCore, MacWorld.com pointed out comedian Liam
Sullivan (aka Kelly) success with his song "Shoes" by using two of the tools
discussed in this booklet: YouTube and TuneCore.
