The music industry is changing. We are in serious transition now. The days of effectively shopping an artist to major record companies are coming to an end. Retail stores are about to go out of business. We are living in a digital world now and we must prepare for it. That means that instead of being discovered, (the old way of thinking) you must truly be independent and become the entrepreneurial artist now ( the new indie model).
This is where INDIE WORLD COMES IN!
Black Mountain Productions has created a new global community network for: Artists, Writers and Musicians. Black Mountain Productions is currently assembling the best array of professional indie organizations, a complete group of: Indie Record Labels, Music Publishers, Promoters, Radio Stations, Recording Studios, Marketing & Media Partners and so much more, that will encompass over 36 countries by the end of 2010, in a happy community called: INDIE WORLD--so the artist, only has to go to one location, to receive expert assistance in the music industry!
Artists who sign up with Indie Worldwill be plugging into a community of hand picked artist-friendly organizations, devoted to multimedia promotion and marketing of music talent, including: the selling of Cd Downloads, Artist Merchandise, Cellular Ringtones, Cds, videos, Major internet promotions, creating paid Gigs and Performances, etc. Artists will have mini web sites with downloadable music clips, images, cd covers, fan mail, music reviews, and the ability to promote and sell their own music, refer others to their music stores and etc through iTunes. Artists can track their sales, their downloads, their traffic. And for once, independent artists will be able to monitor their own success and to consult with professionals who can be trusted to guide them through the morass of opportunities offered by the world market for music talent.
So why is membership in this network a benefit to music organizations? Simply put, as a member of our global community, organizations can become more competitive by plugging into our digital network. And our community will constantly look for new creative ways to engage and interact with fans and artists. Organizations will also network with some of the best indie resources in the new indie music industry today, while receiving leads and opportunities on a global playing field, unlike with any current marketing capability.
Being part of Indie World, we will all work together for the benefit of the indie artist. Since the actual survival of the entrepreneurial artist in today's new indie world, requires them to be their own marketer, they will need the extra guidance from those organizations that have their same visions.Their success will be our success!
