Is your biggest dream to be discovered?
I urge you to at least give this a shot ... Is music your future? Well, you'll never know unless you try and it's easier now than at any point in history to become a rock star. The statistics prove it.
Have you ever had a "smash success" at any point in your life? Maybe you had a great experience playing live on stage - or someone listened to your music and loved it? What if you had experiences like that every day of your life? It's not unusual for musicians to get "fan mail" on a daily basis. Mark Twain said "I can live for a month on a kind word" - imagine how rich you'll feel when you get kind words every day from adoring fans. There's only one way to find out if that will happen for you.

Yet another way to focus on your music and marketing - letting technology do the leg work allowing you to reap huge profit margins.

- Do this once and you can tap into your fan base for marketing effect time and time again ...
- What if you had an army of fans who were willing to create a massive promotional crusade for your music every time you asked? Stop asking "what if" and make it a reality.

- Becoming a best-seller is so easy now - it's almost like clockwork if you know this plan.
- This is the same plan I used to turn four of my books into #1 best-sellers - one of them earning a spot on the most coveted Wall Street Journal best-seller list.
- The same tactics turned one of my sites into the #36 most visited site on the net in 1996.
- Can musicians use this same plan? You bet - there are several cases where this has happened in the last few years and they followed exactly this plan.
- NOTE: this has nothing to do with buying your own music. More musicians do this than most care to admit and many of the famous "best-seller" campaigns out there were put on my seedy marketers trumping up fake sales. This tactic has nothing to do with that at all. Customers will be buying your stuff and you'll be able to sleep at night proud that not only are you a best-seller, but you did it in an ethical and honest way. Yep, you don't have to sell your soul to be a best-seller - not by a longshot.
- There are subtleties to this plan most don't talk about - you'll learn the straight info from someone who has been on the inside of these campaigns dozens of times and never once missed the mark.
