LinkedIn: The Beginner’s Guide

May 25, 2012
LinkedIn is considered the non-sexy, sleeping giant of social networks. It keeps a low profile, perhaps due to the professional nature of its users. Nonetheless, LinkedIn continues to exert a powerful influence on connected job seekers, brands, recruiters and industries.

I use this and it has a large uptake of subscribers through the global music industry. Well worth having a look :)

HouseConcertsAustralia’s Founder On Building A House Concert Network & Indie Music Touring – hypebot

May 25, 2012
Having previously written about ConcertsInYourHome and Slowbizz.com, I was interested in finding out more about HouseConcertsAustralia. I interviewed founder Lisa J. Aston by email and, in addition to sharing more about the network, she also included some tips for folks interested in starting their own house concert network and for artists interested in arranging tours through such networks.

House Concerts are definitely the way to go. I’m a proud member of this organisation and so should you :)

Rdio Plans To Compensate Artists For Bringing In Subscribers – hypebot

May 25, 2012
In a move that could potentially shift the favoritism of artists towards one music subscription service, Rdio is working on a plan to pay artists for bringing their service new subscribers, according to Billboard. This could be a good move to gain the endorsement of artists. But more importantly for Rdio, it could help them address their growing need for more subscribers, as their market share lands somewhere behind larger players such as Spotify and Rhapsody.

Hmmm, interesting. Artists become the affiliate marketer for Rdio. Must look into this a little bit more :)
