			<title>A Master Performer Onstage to Learn From &#8211; Jason Webley</title>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;The other day, I caught the tale end of a solo performer onstage that blew my mind because of the power he had.  He easily excited, engaged, and moved a massive audience into following his demands and fun actions for a wonderful and captivating performance of music.  It was one man on stage with an accordion.  His name, Jason Webley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;He has been noted in many music circles from Punk Rock to Folk Music.  He is a powerful and most importantly, a genuine heartfelt performer.  He performs with passion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The most powerful way to capture him is through a live stage performance or any stage performance recorded.  Watching him and feeling his performance as you listen to the music resonate from him is amazing.  Then you add the fact that his communication skills with the audience are extremely skillful and commanding, he is a great example to learn from.  He offers some excellent top skills to practice and embrace for your stage technique.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you get a chance to catch Jason on one of his many performance stops around the world&amp;#8230; it is worth your time to do it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See if you can catch him performing on a stage on YouTube or elsewhere (See below for an example).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;videoblock&quot;&gt;&lt;object data=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/S0oqigT0HZs&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;350&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/S0oqigT0HZs&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;In previous postings, I discussed the value of using video broadcasting sites like YouTube to promote your Band.  Well, today I just want to keep it simple and add one additional point:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Use that same video to promote your sales.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Insert mini commercials that let people know about how they can find your website, order products you have for sale, or book you for a show.  Increase your profit potential by directly selling to the people that are already looking at your videos.  They like you, so why not let them know how they can enjoy you more?&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Are you using tools like YouTube to promote your music and songs?  If not, why not?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Included below is another of the wonderful examples showing you how powerful YouTube and other Broadcast websites can be for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chris Cendana posted a basic home computer recorded music video of his song &quot;Velvet Fingertips&quot; on February 11th of this year (2008).  That is he posted it just under 19 days ago.  During that short time, he has had 126,938 Views, 1,454 Comments on it, and had it marked by people as one of their Favorite Videos 1,396 times.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, here is the summary:&lt;br /&gt;
Results for Days:  Under 19&lt;br /&gt;
Views: 126,938&lt;br /&gt;
Comments:  1,454&lt;br /&gt;
Favorited:  1,396&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are you getting that kind of exposure for your music?  Why not get it?&lt;/p&gt;

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Whether it's gracing overpriced T-shirts or iconic drumheads, being furtively carved into classroom desktops or intricately inked on the bodies of the most dedicated fans, a band's logo can be just as memorable as its biggest single....&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please check out the Logos and article at the following link.  This is well worth your time:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you are serious about making it to the top, then it is critical that you take the time to do things right with your Band.  And you can do them as you go.  You don't have to do them all at once or before you start working.  Build your Band's identity, brand, and business through time, so you can enjoy doing what you love - Playing music.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://howtoband.artbox-ent.com/blog/index.php/2008/02/19/your-band-logo-has-super-powers?blog=3&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>Digital Sales - Real Money </title>
			<link>http://howtoband.artbox-ent.com/blog/index.php/2008/02/18/digital-sales-real-money?blog=2</link>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Okay...  How are you selling your songs now?  Do you sell them digitally to your fans?  If not, why not?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are many ways to sell your music now.  If you stick to the old fashioned way of doing things, then you are not looking at the new opportunities that are available (Unless you are doing the old fasion way plus a new way).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I want to include this Broadcast by Bob Baker from his MrBuzzFactor YouTube center.  It shows some really incredible data on how Trent Reznor is making some good money selling digitally, and I know that even some local bands can capture this kind of money and more.  Keep in mind that some bands and musicians were able to accomplish making some very large profits before they ever got signed by anyone, and...  Some actually remain unsigned because they make so much money as an indie artist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Watch, learn, and think about it.&lt;/p&gt;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay...  How are you selling your songs now?  Do you sell them digitally to your fans?  If not, why not?</p>

<p>There are many ways to sell your music now.  If you stick to the old fashioned way of doing things, then you are not looking at the new opportunities that are available (Unless you are doing the old fasion way plus a new way).</p>

<p>I want to include this Broadcast by Bob Baker from his MrBuzzFactor YouTube center.  It shows some really incredible data on how Trent Reznor is making some good money selling digitally, and I know that even some local bands can capture this kind of money and more.  Keep in mind that some bands and musicians were able to accomplish making some very large profits before they ever got signed by anyone, and...  Some actually remain unsigned because they make so much money as an indie artist.</p>

<p>Watch, learn, and think about it.</p>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;I believe that every person who starts a Band or becomes a performing musician is an Entrepreneur - someone who creates a business venture in order to succeed.  The fact that you are reading this right now means that you are one of the few people who actually are driven by the Entrepreneur's spirit.  I believe that you can succeed if you persist, keep learning from all of the leaders you can, and Keep Taking Action.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Donald Trump shares some of his thoughts on Entrepreneurs below.  When and if you look at this, consider what he is saying and how it applies to you.&lt;/p&gt;
