GarageSpin.com has NOT Been Sold
Just to set the record straight and clear the air, I did not sell GarageSpin.com, and do not plan on ditching the music industry. (Happy belated April Fools!) Nor do I think DIY pundits are leaches feeding off musicians’ dreams — or at least, most of them aren’t. ;) ) I follow and fan all the sites/authors/pundits I mentioned, and recommend you check ‘em out.
So, happy DIY producing and promoting, all. We’re still on the air. And as soon as I’m moved and settled in to my new living space, I may even get back to producing a my own music again…some…day… *sigh*
On a completely different note, I just completed a proposal for a “crawl-walk-run” strategy to launch a social media optimized, integrated marketing campaign event. It’s kind of fascinating to be thinking so heavily about social media, its implications and opportunities, from both a DIY perspective (as a musician) and a corporate branding perspective (for my day job). The main difference? Budget.
I genuinely consider myself a lucky guy. I’d only be luckier if I were paid as much for my songs as for my power point presentations. :)
Were there really some fools who believed this? Which musician would sell his bandname website? :-o Keep rockin' ;-).
