Foreword to Band Camp
This is the first volume of a multi-part section entitled Band Camp. If your band is already doing everything written in this section then stay tuned for Volume 2 which will cover advanced topics. I would also like to hear any feedback or suggestions for this section.
Before I released this to the public I sent this out to a wide range of bands. Some I know were just starting up, while others are already an established business. The feedback I received was overwhelming, which means I am acheiving my goal: to help you start a business.
I won't list names of bands because I don't want to give out the list of my precious beta testers, but I will list some of the feedback I have received.
"I have googled this info before, but never really found anything as useful as [Band Camp]"
"Band Camp looks pretty awesome, it gives you tons of information, even homework"
"[Band Camp] is worth money, lots of money...and its free? are you crazy?"
You are obviously here to learn a few things about promotion. And I am here to tell you what I know. Many bands on Cyqo tell me they have no idea how to gain exposure for their music. This can be frustrating because I am sure everybody would like their music heard. Now, not everybody would like to be the next big MTV rockstar. Some people just want to "stay indie", or play in a few bars to have a little fun on Saturday night. This is OK too! I am not going to really get into specifics of the Music Industry as a whole because to be quite honest that is not my specialty. My goal for this section is to get you thinking about your career in music, and gain a business sense, as well as a set you up to send your music ANYWHERE to be heard. What I want to do here is give you confidence that you have a professional product to market. That's what it is all about anyway, right? With that said...
