What We Have Planned For Music Strategies 2010

What has made Music Strategies one of the most successful music conferences for the last 10 years and the subject of the award winning documentary, 800 CDs? The artists who attend the conference actually determine what is taught! This means no wasted workshops or time. We talk specifically about what you want and give you the strategies you need to make more money and build your career.

Here are some of the topics that we will be covering this year;

How to convert your "virtual fans" from your social networking sites to real ones that will download your songs, come to shows and financially support you.
How to work directly with film makers, directors and music supervisors.
How to get sponsors that will pay you thousands of dollars a year to promote your music and play your own shows.
Is it possible to make millions of dollars as an independent artist? You will be learning from an artist that's done it and how you can as well.
$1,000 or more per show. If you are interested in playing festivals, opening for major artists, performing at colleges or you want to know how to make more money doing “pay to play” shows than a regular venue will pay you, this discussion is definitely for you!
Tired of chasing after the media? Can't figure why they are not writing about you or playing your songs or why your video is not getting the attention it deserves? It has to do with what your website is missing and your marketing approach.
Record labels have changed a lot over the last 10 years. Find out what the next generation is looking for and what they are expecting from the artists who are looking for deals.
What are successful artists doing differently? We will show you the strategies these artists are using behind the scenes to make more money, network with their fans and what they will be doing completely different in 2010.

These are just some of the topics we will be covering. We invite all artists who are attending to tell us what they would like covered.

Additional Benefits For The Artists Attending

Since the beginning Tim Sweeney has believed in providing the artists who attend Music Strategies more than a basic registration. Below are some of the additional benefits for you including a personal consulting session, networking with other artists who want to share media contacts and fan bases and the opportunity for every artist to perform without an additional submission fee. Also we provide an exclusive online education section that will help you make more money and get more fans before the conference!

One on One Mentoring

For more than 28 years, Tim Sweeney has helped develop the careers of more than 3,000 music artists in almost every genre. His work with artists has helped them sell millions of records and CDs as well as secure countless sponsorship deals. To help you move your music and career to another level, Tim will be giving a special one on one mentoring session to every person who registers for Music Strategies. Whether in person or over the phone, he will go through your promotional materials, website, music and whatever you would like to discuss as he gives you new strategies to help you get the media attention, sales, bookings and new fans you want.

Live Performances for the Media, Industry & New Fans

You will be performing at Caesar's Palace for the various entertainment industry and media people we have invited. This includes radio, press, bookers and music supervisors who are interested in finding new artists to work with. Sitting alongside of them will be the hotel guests who will be invited to watch you perform and buy your CDs and merch. Since thousands of guests stay at Caesar's every weekend, you will be able to make a lot of new fans and sales!

Networking & Workshop/Discussion Groups with Key People & Artists

Building relationships with people in the entertainment industry that can actually work and help you is critical. One of the best ways to do that is to spend time with them. In Las Vegas , you will be spending time talking, meeting and learning with them promotion and marketing strategies that are not taught at any other conference or online. You will also be meeting with other artists I work with from around the country. Since Music Strategies artists do not compete against each other but actually work together, you will be able to find new promotion and touring partners. If you are really looking to do something with your music, this part of the weekend will be very important to helping you double your fan base, sales and income.

Exclusive Online Strategy Section

This website features an online education section that you will be able to access to get new strategies and materials that Tim will not be releasing to his mailing list. This material will give you new things to do, get you moving when you're stuck and will keep you in touch with other Music Strategies artists and how they are using the information. Simply log into the Artist Login section of the site once you are registered to get access!
