Please, donate to Artist House Music!!!!





     This is a widget from http://www.artistshousemusic.org/Video on Entrepreneurship.  I really have a world of faith in this site because it's free information from very important people but the company operates from donations.  You need information on a particular subject you can go to this site and look it up, more than likely they have a video tutorial on it.
     Well, I just learned that the site may be shut down; that would really be a big loss for us independent artist that don't have the funding for the free lessons Artist House Music provides. So I am asking you guys if you can help I really wish you would.  Unfortunately, some of the videos are not working properly so you will have to scroll down (the scroll is on the right hand side) to get to the videos then select a video to view.
     Thank you.  I'm Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.

Knowledge Can Save You Money

     This past Thursday and I wanted to stop by Guitar Center to see what they had on sale.  Just me being nosy that's all.  While I'm there I notice this young man is inquiring about buying Pro-Tools vs. Komplete.  I listened for a bit to the conversation they were having because they were discussing which software is better to buy.  I let the clerk handle that part.
     After that was resolved I jumped in with a did you know that...  I'm so like that sometimes because I just have to say my peace.  Did you know that Guitar Center has discounts that these guys at the register might not tell you about (I of course was not trying to be rude so I quickly apologized to the clerk for my wording), or that if you go on-line the prices may be considerably less than inside the store -and if you ask- the clerk (I'm now looking at the clerk for confirmation) will look it up for you, or that the store will at times mail out discount coupons sometimes at up to 25% off, and finally that they will price match?
     That young man had no idea but he did manage to get Komplete for $499.00 at a 12% discount; that he had no idea about.  I'm Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.

Recommendation: http://www.eventbrite.com/

Honey today I'm just going to inform you of this site that I love called Eventbrite.  Let me just tell you the advantages to this site; you can create an event, create tickets for the event, sell the tickets from the page, you set your ticket price, and it gives you information on how many tickets are sold.  Plus you can post your event through the site on Facebook or Twitter (social media sites), but the real advantage to this site is that your fans can pay through the service by Paypal or Google.  As an independent artist you know how expensive it is to get them tickets pressed up then you don't sell them all.  You know what I mean. Well you don't have to worry about that wasted money because you have sites like Eventbrite.  Now here is the link in case you need it in the foreseeable future:  http://www.eventbrite.com.

As always I am Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.

Exclusive Rights to a beat/track

What does "exclusive rights" mean?


  • This gives the music artist sole ownership of the beat, and unlimited use of it as well. The producer cannot sell this beat/track to anybody else and must take it down from any selling sites. Make sure that all copyrights to the beat are properly transfered to you and all usage restrictions are lifted. This allows you to use the beat in any way you see fit. You should be given a signed "transfer of ownership" agreement from the producer or beatmaker.
