The Artist Development Program

As we have noted in other sections of our website, it is vitally important that your promotional material be transformed into an Artist Profile, which all "Priority" artists in the music industry have.

Thousands of artists a year do not receive the airplay, reviews or articles, distribution or simply the exposure their music deserves because they have sent either the wrong materials or a standard press kit to someone in the music industry. Most often the lack of return phone calls, ignored emails, or zero response at all, is directly related to the fact that the person never reviewed your CD because the wrong promotional material was sent with it. Beside the fact that most artists have not met the sales expectations that A&R directors and record company executives require, their music was again not reviewed because there was no Artist Profile accompanying it.

To make sure your music is listened to by whoever you send it to, MusicHosting.net will create with you, all the elements of the Artist Profile your CD needs.

First, Tim Sweeney will personally write your new biography written in article form for the print media. This new biography will not be written in historical form but in the proper artistic form to provide the reader with the insight they desire of who you are as an artist.

Next, he will create a "proper" retail one sheet that features the elements that the retail buyers need to have for ordering and the understanding of your marketing campaign. Most artists do not receive distribution or effective retail placement of their CDs into record stores because they create and use an improper retail one sheet.

While your new biography and retail one sheet are being written, Tim Sweeney will teach you how to effectively write the insights to your songs which will not only be critical for the radio and print media but for the dramatic increase of CD sales online.

While the elements of your new Artist Profile are in development, you will also be working with our Staff on the market by market research of the targeted cities and markets, you will be focusing on in your new promotion and marketing campaign. This market research will include the contact and mailing information for the market impacting radio stations, press publications, venues for you to perform in and impacted retailers in the targeted cities.

Within the one month it will take to complete all of this, you will have available to you unlimited personalized consulting with Tim Sweeney.

The Artist Development Program which is one month in length total, can be used separately or as part of, the promotion and marketing campaigns that MusicHosting.net offers. If you choose to only use the Artist Development Program without the other promotion, marketing or consulting services, the total cost will be $1,500 which you can pay either by cash, check or credit card.

The Expanded Artist Development Program

You will receive all of the elements of the Artist Development Program with a tremendous extra benefit. As you know, the Internet provides you the opportunity to reach new fans outside your initial targeted areas as well as, selling more CDs and merchandise online.

In the Expanded Artist Development Program, you will be working with John Dawes, one of our industry's premier web designers. He will help you either redevelop your web site to incorporate your new Artist Profile and make it more effective for industry review and especially increased sales or he will build you a completely new site.

There is no question that for thousands of independent and developing artists like yourself, the Internet has not met their expectations in regards to exposure and sales. Ironically, it is not the medium of the Internet that has let them down. It is their poorly designed and structured sites that have disinterested fans from doing the one thing your site should be focused on. Selling CDs.

If your current website is not selling you at least 25 CDs a month, then the Expanded Artist Development Program is a must for you!
