Discover the Proven Indie Music Strategies, Tools, and Resources You Need to Create Music, Produce Music, and Sell Your Music Online with Amazing Results...Fast!

Hi, this is Traci Crowley, founder of Indie-Music Network.com,  and I would like to welcome you to our new and improved website.

 

We have learned that one of the top reasons indie musicians fail to reach their music goals is they have no idea of what to do differently or refuse to take action to get from where they are at today with their music...to making good money selling their music. You may dream about selling your music online like it was going out of style, but if:

 

1. You create music, but your skills on your favorite music instruments need improvement

2. You haven't considered trying to learn how to produce music at home that's high quality and very low cost (especially compared to an expensive recording studio)

3. You keep making the same mistakes trying to sell your music online, and consistently have the same results (extremely low music sales...we're not counting the few CD sales to your mother and closest friends)

4. You just give up all together out of total frustration of where to start or what to do next...

 

You're in for a long and painful music journey, and will be a long way away from reaching your indie music goals if you don't take action now, and apply the tools and process you need for your development to make your presence known in the indie music industry.

 

The good news is we've spent the last 3 years learning from and working with some of the top indie musicians on the planet.  You may think that's not a big deal, so i'll let you in on something...these musicians not only Create Music, Produce Music, and Sell Music Online...they do that to the tune of  $4,970.53 to OVER $91,666.67 Per Month!.  Yes, that's not a typo...that is per month!  These musicians are probably no smarter than you, but they just learned some great secrets that have allowed them to achieve amazing success reaching their music goals. 

 

We realize that there is no reason why other musicians shouldn't have their creativity heard by thousands, and experience amazing success too.  That's why we want to help by providing YOU with an easy to follow guide through our website that walks with you step-by-step through your entire music process, from beginning (Create Music Fast), middle (Recording Your Own Music), and end (Sell Your Music Online).  We also wanted to provide you with some vehicles Indie-Music Forum Chat  to share ideas or tell others within our indie music community what you want and need to help you reach your music goals.  Also, our new IMN Tips Blog is live now...check it out.  You can also subscribe to our blog by clicking the following link: Subscribe to our New Blog!

 

We are also revealing the "exclusive tips", resources, and systems the indie music experts are using...to help YOU easily Create Music, Produce Music, and Sell Your Music Online each and every month...like clockwork.

 

Keep reading to learn the secrets of top Indie Music experts and discover what music solutions can help You Create Music, Record Your Own Music, and Explode Your Music Sales Fast, so you can finally say..."I can share my creativity with the world and easily Sell My Music to a lot of people, day in and day out". 

 

Also, learn how to stay clear of music tools that are just hype and filled with empty promises. That will just make you broke and frustrated, and prevent you from reaching your music goals, and we want to see you succeed!

 

 

Testimonials

Hi Traci & the IMN Staff!


First, I wanted to offer a quick thank you for the kind words you recently posted on my Squidoo lens about my new eBook – Max Lowe's Ultimate Guide to Promoting Your Music Online. After the months of researching and writing the book and accompanying blog, receiving such a positive review from the creators of such a powerful resources as the Indie Music Network means a lot to me!

 

The reason it means so much to me is because the Indie Music Network has been a valuable resource for bands and musicians to learn about tried and true methods of making, promoting and selling their music online. I even used IMN resources to help write my own music marketing eBook. There is something for every struggling independent artist at the Indie Music Network!

 

Thanks again for the words of encouragement. Keep up the good work!

Dear Indie-Music Network:

 

I suppose I am a professional; having performed as such since the age of 3 (and I don't want to tell you how long ago that has been - smile) for audiences near and far, professional and amateur, in competitions and prestigious talent shows and showcases. So it was natural for me to pursue a performing arts business as an adult.

 

Hence: JAZC Enterprises, LLC. JAZC (pronounced "jazzy") was designed to help new and established entities in the music and business arena with their goals. We receive many queries daily from musicians (or wanna-be artists) who want to know how one "gets in" the industry. Well, it wasn't easy explaining and helping with their "instant solutions" until YOU came into our lives.

 

To be honest, I don't recall how our paths crossed, but I am sure glad it did. Since receiving our first newsletter from you in May, 2006, we've referred countless independent musicians, raw talent, and even teachers, to your website. It's an outstanding forum for all genres to meet, exchange ideas, learn new techniques, get inside info on gigs, and what-have-you. We call your newsletter the "family jewels" (sic) and even have your site on our computer's start up menu so we're up-to-date every time we power up!

 

JAZC regards IMN as THE PLACE to visit for whenever one needs to succeed in music, and we'd like to thank you for that. There are so many websites out here with lots of affiliations or links to resources that consumes a great deal of time exploring when they can find what they're looking for - quickly and precisely - with you.

Keep up the excellence!

 

Respectfully yours,

Gail M. Patterson

Dear IMN (Traci and staff),

 

I would like to take a moment to talk about two areas of development for me. Although we have corresponded several times about these items, I feel a simple thank you via instant message will not do.  I need to express my thanks for the confidence and direction you have helped supply my music dream. 

 

First, I have an overwhelming  new sense of confidence in my music that I never had before.  The products that you reviewed and recommended have increased my awareness of music theory and helped me become a more intuitive and creative musician.  At first, I was very skeptical how one such product you recommended could help me. After all, I am a classically trained pianist and a die-hard rock and roller.  I came to you wanting to become a more creative Rock keyboardist.  

 

Your suggestion that I check out a Gospel Keyboard product rung as suspect at first; however, it was a mere 5 minutes into the training that I discovered that nothing I had learned about the piano before, was preparing me to let go .  I used to be what they call a sight reader who never grasped the reasons for why certain progressions were played at certain times.  Without this knowledge I would have forever been the guy who sat back and envied those naturals who are able to adlib amazing riffs without ever missing a beat.

 

I have since found that I can now sit in on ANY jam session, with ANY band, WITHOUT sheet music and blend seamlessly.  I have actually had bands unsuccessfully trying to steal me away from my group and that feels good.  These types of products that you have recommended, along with some of the great equipment deals I have found on your site, have made me as confident as I have ever been on a keyboard.

 

Secondly, and possibly more importantly, I have finally seen the light as it pertains to selling my music.  Once I learned the secret behind why I was not selling before, I almost felt like slapping myself in the forehead for having been so obviously blind to reality.  The 27 download sales I had in my first 45 days are not going to make me rich, but they represent 25 more downloaded sales than I had in the previous 3 YEARS of trying my way.  For this I am utterly grateful.
