This is Derek Sivers from CDBaby Without a doubt the most honest man selling cds and music in the world. Yes, I said it - The World! Hell, he might just be the most honest man! We've been selling with him since I think 1998 and he is all about making the world a better place through music. When you hear about big record companies complaining about sales dropping and no one buying cds - ask Derek about it because sales at his online store have gone up 35% since last year. This is the guy that makes it possible for people without the budget of Sony or Exxon to sell cds all over the world! I can't say enough nice things about Derek. To top it off - I haven't seen him in probably two years and he remembered me! I don't know how he does it.
So we were at the Taxi Music Convention this past weekend and we met some really amazing people. O.K. some we knew already but I wanted to put a thing up here that has some pics and some links to folks. I can do that right? Hmm, have to relearn some html... TAXI CONVENTIONThis is Dan Kimpel - he's written some great books about Networking Strategies for Musicians. I learned a ton of stuff in his seminar. Way too much info to try to fit in here but as you can see - I'm holding his latest book and you can too! Yes, he's worked with everyone, yes, he's traveled the world doing this, yes he is also a musician himself - go buy his book! He has more energy than any one man should have. This is Bob Baker - he wrote the Guerilla Music Marketing Book. We have two different versions of this book - Gregg sat in on his seminar and was the star pupil! "Yes, we do that!" "Yes, we do that too!" It was cool. Here's Tracy standing with him - he appreciated us so much he had us do a video testimonial for his website! Another cool thing that he does is he sends helpful tips right to your email. |
