Carolyn Ballen's Top 6 Recommended Web Sites
www.StarPolish.com/advice - Just an amazing wealth of information about the music industry! Topics include; Introductory Groundrules, Basic Business, The Art of Record Promotion, Booking Shows & Performance Marketing, Maximum Exposure, Your Team: Management & Legal, Getting Signed, Music Publishing & Copyrights, Music & The Internet and The Urban Music Business.
www.getsigned.com - This site is also a wealth of great information on a huge range of subjects. If you're not sure what promotion strategy to implement, try browsing the subjects on this Web site and I feel certain that you will be struck with inspiration.
www.ePeople.com - I think this is my favorite all time site in the world. A total Tech Support dream!!! If you have trouble navigating your user manuals, or worse, you don't have a manual for what you want to do, this site in the answer to many frustrating hours of toil. You simply log on, ask your question and wait for people to bid on the answer. When I needed to network my laptop computer and my desktop computer, I was quoted hundreds of dollars by a network specialist. I posed my question to ePeople and got a bid range from $6 to $20. I've also gotten info about how to fix a glitch on my Web site and how to transfer Outlook folders from one computer to another. I always find that the bids are lower than what the information is worth to me.
www.press-release-writing.com - This site guides you through everything that you need to know about writing, formatting and sending your press release. No one will ever have to know that you don't have a professional publicist on your team. Check out the FREE resources they offer under, "Press Release Writing Tips". They also send out a newsletter twice a month that always has helpful articles included.
www.legaljungleguide.com/resource.htm - This site will provide you with information pertaining to legal issues that are crucial to you as an artist, such as How To Copyright Songs And Sound Recordings, What Exactly Is A Music Copyright? and Music Publishing: How Your Song Generates Income. All of these can be confusing subjects, but I was particularly impressed with how well written, well organized and easy to understand this text was.
www.tucows.com - This site provides you with tons and tons of software downloads and reviews. I've found well rated Freeware for my FTP Client, my HTML editor and also an HTML tutorial. I've also searched subjects such as writing, music, mailing lists and book publishing. There are tools available for practically any project you are looking to embark on. I think you'll be surprised at some of the stuff that you find.
