Reader Reviews...
These testimonials are real quotes from real people, all musicians just like you. How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet is the premier book on the subject, and if you don't believe me, well, listen to these folks, who testify to the great value of this book...

"I would just like to congratulate you on a fantastic publication. Me and my band are grateful for all of the hard work you have put in and the encouragement this gives us. This book gives people the tools they need to get started. People shouldn't be fooled by the other rubbish that's out there, this is the real deal, a proper guide to success through hard work and commitment. I have bought other books from amazon etc, they do not cut the mustard, this is the only guide that does what it claims."

"I would like to compliment you on your book 'How to Promote your Music Successfully on the Internet'. Your book has proven to be very useful to me in a number of ways to get me started in marketing my music online. To begin with your material essentially got me to create my own website with your practical methods and shortcuts. You guided me to effectively use search engines. You introduced me to new web sites to expose my music like Artistopia and PodsafeAudio (the latter which resulted in the sale of not one but both of my albums), Soundclick and Muze, to mention some. You provided useful timesavers by mentioning sites and methods to avoid, and useful sites I have yet to explore (myspace and youtube) Most importantly you have taken out the confusion for the beginner to attempt to navigate around the internet by means of using key shortcuts and efficient methods to get to the goal. Your book will certainly prove to be first hand reference material in the years to come. Thank you for sharing your experiences in the endeavour to promote music."

"I just wanted to send you a short note to say "Thank You" for writing and publishing this book. I ordered mine back in May, received it promptly and proceeded to devour it. I worked in the recording industry back in the 80's. My how things have changed. I am helping a friend to promote and sell his CD in this new digital era. I wasn't sure exactly how to do that until I found your book. What a difference. With your book, I have figured out how, when, where to do what I want to do with this CD. Thank you again."

"I have referred to my copy of 'How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet' hundreds of times. David, it really it terrific and so generous of you to put all of this information together for independent musicians. Actually, I misplaced it for a few days and was in a mild panic until it was relocated!

"Having just finished reading your book 'How To Promote Your Music Successfully On The Internet', I felt compelled to write to you to say thank you for putting so much valuable and insightful advice in a riveting and easy to read book. I am a 27 yr. old singer/songwriter from the U.K. In the last nine years I have released seven albums and five EPs, and have had four separate record deals, including deals with Sony BMG and One Little Indian. I am now in the process of setting up my own record label, Din Of Ecstasy, and have a Best Of album scheduled for release this summer. Your book has provided me with so much information, hard fact and insight, I can't thank you enough! I am now going to plough on and spend the next few months implementing all your good advice, and I can't wait to see how things turn out. Thanks again!"

"May I take the opportunity to say that I think that your book is amazing. I have found it extremely useful, clear and informative. I always recommend that people buy it, predominantly when I advise musicians and students who are looking to earn a living from their work. Your prompt response to my emails and manner also demonstrates another aspect of professionalism which myself and my peers feel are necessary elements which can make such a difference to business and professional relationships. It helps to break down the myth of musicians being lazy and incompetent business people, many are unaware that there are a number of us competent business minded professional musicians out there and you set a great example of how to do things correctly. I just had to say that! Anyway, well done, keep it up and I wish you every continued success."

"Just wanted to let you know that I bought your book about promoting music on the Internet a couple of years ago and it really helped me in this difficult industry. Currently, we're releasing our second album worldwide and I'm still using your tips and advice. Keep up the good work!"

"I have been developing a website for my business which involves consulting services for physical therapy education and developing CD/video and video download training programs. Your book provided and will help me build and promote my website in ways that I couldn't find in other resources. I have read many books on website development and yours is one of the best. Very readable and packed with information."

"Just wanted you to know that I bought your book at least 2 years ago (I get the updates from you digitally) and I still use it for promotional ideas all the time.. in this constantly changing times it's sometimes difficult to decide where to spend your time/money and your book is a roadmap to the kind of things that are possible..."

"I wanted to compliment you on your book 'How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet'. I am merely 40 odd pages of the way through, but it is a rich reference source and I can tell that it is written from experience. I just wish I'd come across it before - it would have saved me hours, if not days or weeks in research myself!"

"I just recently purchased your SUPERIORLY AWESOME INFORMATIVE MASTERPIECE (not book). I know you know this and hear this hundreds of millions of times but your "book" works. Just with the few 'adjustments' that I have made on my myspace site and I have noticed a slight difference for the positive...."

T-Bass, www.myspace.com/tbasszenexproductions

"I've completed reading "How to promote your music successfully on the Internet" and it has propelled me into action. You've put in a lot of arduous work I can tell and I'm now more confident of doing things myself rather than seeking an indie label who will probably do less than I can in this regard, as I will be my only client:) You may or may not be aware of the Australian band I have been with, Real Life, or at least you may be aware of one of our 80's big hits that still gets radio play in the US, 'Send Me an Angel'. Anyhow, as keyboardist and co writer I've always wished to release my own individual work and your research and trial and error will definitely be put to good use."

A book review by Ron Simonsen, Recording Studios Of Australia...

"I've just finished reading "How To Promote Your Music Successfully on The Internet". Authored by professional musician-publisher David Nevue, it's a very complete guide to you establishing an Internet presence. It's 160 information packed pages, provides up-to-the-minute details and guidelines which I doubt you'll be able to find anywhere else. This is a "Must Read" book for every serious musician!!

You know my thoughts on how essential it is that you have an Internet presence (at the very least a web site) to showcase you and your product as a musician. This book is the best confirmation of my own thoughts I have come across and I urge you to check it out. It goes far beyond what I've shown you so far and represents fantastic value for
money.

You'll also be aware how rarely I endorse someone elses' product - this is an exception!!

David Nevue is well established in the music business, and has been active on the Internet for many years, earning a substantial income in the process ($60,000+ in 2006). He decided about 10 years ago to set out how he achieved his results using the Internet, and helping other musicians do the same through his books. A quick read through the
testimonials on his website will indicate how successful this has been.

What makes the book unique in my opinion is that it is completely updated every year to reflect changes in Internet and marketing practices and adding anything new that proves succesful. This means, apart from having a serious reference work to guide you, it's fully up to date (unlike a lot of 'one time' publications I've come across).

For those musicians just getting started with the Internet it's a revelation! Here you will find almost 'step-by-step' instructions on how to duplicate David's success. Not only 'how to', he even provides where to go details and what to do at each step along the way.

For the more experienced among us, there are refinements and referrals you will find of significant value. The list of URLs contained in the book are the result of considerable research and careful assessment, and are in themselves, fully equal to the price of the book.

Although a few of the references and resources are US oriented, it's pretty much universal in application for the most part, and even if you live outside the US (particularly in Australia) it will still work for you.

In its 20 chapters it takes you from a simple explanation of what the Internet is all about and how you can apply it to your business plan, to detailed marketing practices. It suggests the equipment and the software you'll need, and reveals all you'll ever need to know about achieving sales of your music and
building your music business.

I believe it's the one book you cannot be without."

"I have been thoroughly enjoying your book... it is so wonderfully written and precise. I have dissected practically every section and you have given me a lot of new avenues to travel. I am doing them step by step....I believe that your book is helping me expand my business possibilities and I feel more confident with what I am doing."

"I downloaded the book and was extremely surprised at the amount, quality, and detail of the information! I purchased it for our son, who's trying to make it in music. He's learned quite a bit already about the music business, but your perspective and direction are going to help him immensely in knowing exactly how to focus his efforts online. Thanks for offering this information at such an affordable price. You could have easily charged exponentially more for this and it still would have been worth the price. "

"Just finished reading 'How to Promote You Music Successfully on the Internet'. I found the guidance and confidence I need to release a download single through CD-Baby and set up my website. This work demonstrates strength and depth of knowledge in the craft of Internet Music Marketing and at a give-away price. You deserve your success."

"I started as you back in 1999 with mp3.com, but somehow after the years (and some personal problems), I almost stopped it all. I sell 100 CD's a year from my website, but I thought that's probably the maximum one can make. I eventually thought about making some free related websites, but never really giving much serious thought to this. I thought - that's it, I lost the game, time to do something else. Although I truly believe in the value and originality of my music. I took notice of your website a few years ago, but I thought it's only one of those thousand books of making you happy for 5 minutes. Last week, I typed "promote your music on the internet" in Google. I came across your site, started browsing witout real interest. I started reading the 'promo' for this book, but was not sure whether to believe you. Till I noticed the link to your interview on musiciancast. I listened and in an instant I realised that you are the same like me: dreaming to sell own music online, going through mp3.com. With the difference, that I lost faith many times, and you went all the way. So, I bought the book and the next 12 hours (till morning 7.30am) I was reading it. I realised my mistakes, downfalls, laziness - all the things I did wrong - through your book. And yes, it proved me that's it's possible! This is what I wanted to hear. That's why I admire your American spirit. Also your book - it speaks to real, hands on examples, pros and cons - so many things for which I wanted to find answers for a long time. It is an amazing, invaluable tool for everyone going on the path of Music Independence
To finish - thank you very much David from heart for opening my eyes and slapping in the face and shouting: Wake up, you silly little independent musician! Your dreams are just a click away. And I am the living example."

"I am enjoying your awesome site and your book: How to Promote Your Music... It's not an 'entertainment' read like all the other promotional books written for artists. This books is packed with practical guidance and priceless information. This is by far the best book I've read on online music promoton. Your Getting Started section is just incredible! I wish I had this book when I was first starting out! It would have saved me years of trial and error!"

- Inga

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you. I purchased your online marketing book a month ago. It is a marvelous tool! Our website has been up and our albums on CD Baby for two weeks now and so far we have sold $258.00 worth of CDs. And this weekend we made our first international sale! I'm am now working through the rest of your book. I need to do other marketing efforts and your book has some terrific ideas for that as well. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts. Without your book, we would have been in that ordinary group of musicians who sell a half-dozen CDs from their website a year. We couldn't have done it without you! Oh, and one more thing. I designed the Power Piano web site using your suggestions.... Well, last night I Googled our names or the phrase "power piano" which is the narrow niche we are trying to create. We came up in the top 10 positions 5 times. I then "yahooed" our names or power piano and got different, but similar results, 5 in the top 10 positions. I googled my name last month and it had never even heard of me. You're just right on with all your advice - thanks for you generosity in sharing it.

"How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet" is an
incredible resource! It's not only the hundreds of techniques and tricks David reveals in his masterpiece, it's how truly inspiring this book is. I sold more than 3000 copies of one of my CDs in 9 months as a result of reading this book. David gives away too many secrets..."

"I'm just getting into your book and Im absolutely loving it. I've always been obsessed with the fact that only bands that sign to major record labels are successfull... I now know that I can be successful without them, it's a cool thought that I can make it on my own. A very satisfied reader,

I still have a ways to go, but I thought I'd google to see if I show up in the top ten for my name, (I have a lot of competition with an bikini model and an author that wrote a book about a royal mistress. Anyhow, I now have my site ranked #1 on Google! Your suggestions work really well! Thank you!"

"Your book is just great! It has helped me so much already. I am a newbee on the computer. I bought two other books on Internet music promotion that cost three times as much that didn't help me at all. Your book is so good that I will be working a long time to get all the benefits from it. Thanks again for a great book that seems to cover everthing."

- Ray Hopper

"Just wanted to send out a big "thank you" to you for your work and for your book that I purchased about a year ago. There's so much great information in it. Of course, it seems that I haven't even scratched the surface with promoting our music, but I have made some baby steps and we're doing well with CD sales. I pray that all that you are doing to help others will come back to you one-hundred fold, and your business will be prosperous."

"I'm essentially a lazy guy. Which, of course, is why I became a writer. After all, all we do is sit on our butts, right? Anyway, being the lazy guy I am, I'm often very appreciative when somebody goes to all the trouble of collecting information that would normally take me days, or even years, to collect and puts it all in a nice neat package for me to peruse. In How to Successfully Promote Your Music on the Internet, solo pianist David Nevue has not only collected a lot of valuable information for the musician looking to market his CDs, but has added the considerable wisdom of his own experience to the mix. Several years ago, Nevue was working for a well-known software company when he was introduced to the Internet. A musician on the side, he looked at the web as a place of great promise, one that would allow him to promote his recordings. After much trial and error, Nevue was able to conquer the beast where many others had tried and failed, and he's now working fulltime on his music, selling CDs at the speed of light."

"When my husband started his career (at age 42!) about 4 years back we utilized your book on promoting music on the internet with terriffic success. Since then we have had many doors open which have included a duet with Dolly Parton and a European record deal... but it all started on the net!"

- Nancy Rivers for Roy Rivers

---

"I'm very impressed with your book. For a very low cost, I got a book that: Delivered what it promised, had accurate information, had useful information, cut to the chase on myriad processes, saved me time, saved me money, got me started in building my music business-FAST, is chalk full of researched guidance, is the single most helpful resource I bought to start my business, will probably get me far enough to make a living on my music. - I could go on, but really, you have done a wonderful job. No wonder you're a success. Thanks a lot for doing right business with a right product. You get my previously never given SIX star rating

"I had no experience with designing a web site, submission to search engines, key words and did not know where to begin until I pulled up The Music Biz Academy. Our band Iron Horse is based in Oklahoma and as we all live in a rural country setting, our dial-up service is not as fast as can be accessed in other regions. Thus, your well written book allowed me to design a web site that is effective and very easy to navigate, while not sacrificing quality of content nor having visitors leave due to long downloading and being timed out as is usually the case out here. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and expertise for promoting our music on the Internet. The content was of so much use!"

JeriLynn Weber - Iron Horse

"I must say I am impressed. I was a bit skeptical when I clicked on the buy button but I can only say... thank you for the great ideas."

- Mark Van Overmeire

"I just recently purchased your book and I have to say that I was pleasantly overwhelmed and suprised at the quality and quantity of information presented. Wow, thats a lot of stuff! Thanks for all the info at such a modest price"

- Ted Roberts

"Your book is a must-have for any independent musician. There's a similar book on the market which costs about twice your price - but yours is much more practical and detailed. Very good customer service also. I can't wait to implement your strategies.

- Catherine Duc

---

"Your book has been our lifesaver to promote our CD on a limited budget and limited computer/web skills! We've been raving about you and your book to ourselves since the day we got it. The contents are thorough, complete and saved us months of research! Thank you so much for this service and all of your hard and excellent work!"

"I received your book in the mail yesterday about successfully selling music on the internet. What a well written and easy to understand book! I have more than received my money's worth already, and I'm on about the 4th chapter. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge."

- Rhonni Nightingale

---

"I bought your book, 'How To Promote Your Music Successfully On The Internet' and I just want to say a big thank you for inspiring me so much. Before downloading the book we were doing well online, but it took a lot of trial and error which in turn took time. After reading your book, things are beginning to skyrocket for us. We have huge interest in our debut album which is released soon and have built up a sizeable fan base which is growing by the day. The wheels are set in motion now for me to realise my ambition and make music my career. If I'd have paid 5 times what I did for the book, I would still be absolutely delighted with the results I've got from implementing your methods."

"I downloaded your book on how to successfully market your Internet music. Initially I was, of course, skeptical (I am a fellow software type of guy & very analytical about things)...I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE it so far, thanks a million - it is worth every penny."

"I have found your book to be the most informative piece of literature I have ever read on ANYTHING! It has answered questions I hadn't even thought of and is non-biased in an extremely refreshing way. Thank you for opening up so many possibilities for us. We're about to update our site and release a new album before Christmas which for the first time, through your book, really is a marketable yet true to form piece of work. Thanks for being so generous to the rest of us."

"When I started to research how to promote my next album on the Internet I was discouraged by the 'oh-so-useful-yet-overwhelming' nature of the web... so many websites and recommended books on self-promotion make it hard to find out what's really worth pursuing. After a tip from one of my producers I came across your book and I'm so glad I got it! You did all the 'weeding-out' research already and you have a lot of great ideas that I wouldn't have thought of myself. On top of it you've successfully promoted your music and know that us artists don't really have the time or energy to read through tons of unnecessary blah-blah that doesn't really help. Your book is concise, straight to the point, and a great stress-reliever. Thank you!"

"You know, I've read every book I could find and bookmarked all the
indie promo sites and I always return to musicbizacademy.com and
your book. So far, they're the only places which have impacted my career in a positive, exponential way. I trust the Nevue name to steer me in the right direction!"

- Jeffrey Sanders, Mountain Mirrors

"I ordered your book and read it over the weekend. The flow and organization of the book are great...You kept my interest and more importantly got me excited about the possibilities with your proven marketing tips. I'm looking forward to applying these as I embark on my digital music career here in Europe."

"I recently purchased the download of your book on promoting your music on the Internet. I am very pleased with it. It is certainly a far cry from much of the over-hyped junk one finds on the Net. The book is excellent, comprehensive and very well thought out."

"I bought "How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet" a few months ago. That book truly inspired me. For some reason when we started our new age project, we thought that we would just put it up on google and we'd get hundreds of hits a day! LOL! Well, we have a great battle plan now, thanks to your book. Because of your book, we were able to get 3000 plays in 2 months - this is even before we have started to seriously promote it (which will happen after our CD comes out). We've jumped on a website you recommended (live365.com) and got our music up on a handful of stations. Also, through your ideas and coming up with some of our own, we've hit the "hall of fame" with a critiquing company called "gods of music" which has only helped us get more traffic to our site. Strangely, most of our success ties down to the day I bought your book and read your ideas. Built upon some of them, but still- that's where it all started. Awesome job man."

"I just wanted to take a moment to THANK YOU! I recently acquired your book "How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet" and I finished it the first day I got it!

You're definately a cut above the rest!"

"I purchased your book "How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet" a few weeks back - I have to say, it is a gold-mine. It is such an excellent, hands-on reference book, with such immediate links places to promote my music, I am well-pleased with it and, at the price, disgustingly good value. It got my project off its derriere and in front of a world of interested people, and what I like is that there was stuff I could get on with for free immediately based on your advice, as well as slew of other advice that I could spend on as and when I could afford....In the space of a couple of weeks I've gone from sitting around hoping, to having regular morning and evening sessions checking, replying and pushing my album. Great job, man, just a great job. Thanks a lot.

"...I managed to get through half the book last night before fatigue set in. It kept me up until 1 a.m. This is a GREAT book. Already it's given me a new focus and I'm only half way through the book! I'm now convinced I need an mp3 site (in addition to everything else) and will get that up and running ASAP. Anyway... thanks for all the focused, detailed easy to understand information. What a blessing!!!"

"A million thanks to you for your book “How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet.” I can’t believe I got all this info for so little money. In minutes, it answered qustions I’d had for weeks. Especially helpful are the sections on audio clips, free sites like IUMA and vendors like CDStreet, and search engine registration. I figure you have saved me months if not years of trial and error."

- John Edmonds

"I would like to thank you for the strong advice and strategies you recommended in your book...your book blew away many of the basic marketing rules I have been taught in the past and gave me the insight I'll need in order to promote my music successfully..."

He also has the #1 selling country cd on mp3.com....this is due to following David's advice in his articles and in his book.

"I've read (several popular Internet Music Marketing books named, but excluded here out of respect for the authors) and more prior to this purchase. They all dull in comparison. I got more valuable info in your 90 pages than all others combined (plus-all of those books turned out to be gateways to corperate money-leeching... of course, this is only speculation...errrhhrrrmm). Because I've found that you seem to be an enlightened spirit of great integrity and selflessness, I've embarked on a mission to utilize every single concept in that book"

"I enjoy regularly reading your newsletter and particularly enjoyed your book HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR MUSIC SUCCESSFULLY ON THE INTERNET. I've read dozens of books on the subject and yours is the only one that I recommend to people. I appreciate that you filled it with "real" information and not just fluff. I especially appreciated your help with search engines (it's amazing that it's so hard to find good info on search engines). Your MP3.com section was a blessing as well. Thanks for sharing the knowledge."

"I received your book, and read it. I would recommend 'How to Promote your Music Successfully on the Internet' to each and every emerging musician seeking to explore the ultimately vast and unpredictable frontiers of music in cyberspace. I am an experienced web surfer. I have done a little graphics design, search engine work, and web design for other people, but I never could have imagined that so much more existed out there than what I already knew. I made so much progress after reading it in the ensuing week that I think that the book saved me at least 6 months of toil and trouble on the web."

Just wanted to tell you thanks for the information in your book. Being an 'intermediate' web user and a musician/publisher/retailer, I found the information in the book very useful. I learned quite a bit about techniques. I've been operating my publisher/label website for about 9 months with decent success, and these ideas will help me to keep the focus. I am in the process of opening an online CD store, and the marketing ideas for the independent music scene in your book will be quite valuable to me.

Highly recommended!"

Here's a recent review from Kathode Ray Music:

"David Nevue from Midnight Rain Productions has recently completed a study on how to promote your music successfully on the Internet. If you've ever made a web site, you already know how hard it is to get people to visit and keep coming back. Just because there are 50,000,000 users out there doesn't mean they all care about what you have going on and they're certainly not going to care if they aren't aware of it. The study is easy to read, and provides marketing examples from real life experience. For example, do banner ads really work for selling music? In the study he shares his thoughts AND his results. You'll learn what music marketing strategies work and how to combine them to create a powerful online sales tool. This study has something for everybody. I put Kathode Ray Music on the web almost four years ago and I learned a lot from reading it. I highly recommend it!"

- David Hooper - Kathode Ray Music

"Your book is well-worth the money! A lot of the things I read in the book were already in the back of my mind, but reading "How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet" helped me to clarify what I was trying to do with my web site. Basically, this book took my hazy ideas and crystallized them into tools that I started using immediately! I read the whole thing in a few hours, and keep it right on my computer desk for easy reference. Honestly, the only way it could be better was if it were online so we could just click on the TONS of helpful websites this book points out. I want to know it when this book gets updated! Thanks!"

- Chad Shoppa, Muscatine LA
