Lots of great info in this email. Learn how you
can access my upcoming interview with Terry
Prince (yes, the Santa Monica pier guy), attend
my music conference in June, and enroll in a
Berklee Music online course this spring.
Please take a minute right now and read on …
Indie Buzz Bootcamp - Advance Tickets
On Sale Now
As you may know, this June 20-22 I’ll present a
first-ever Indie Buzz Bootcamp music conference
in St. Louis, MO.
There is room for only 150 paid attendees. I
expect the event to sell out long before June.
We have a great lineup of top-notch speakers,
including Derek Sivers, Ariel Hyatt, Nancy Moran,
John Taglieri, and yours truly.
Tickets won’t go on sale to the general public
until April 1. However, since you’re a Buzz
Factor subscriber, between now and March 31
you can go to a special page and enroll at a
great early-bird discount.
First of all, to see the latest details on
speakers and schedules for this incredible
event, please visit the public page at
www.IndieBuzzBootcamp.com
Then, to reserve your seat in advance at the
early discount rate, visit this secret page.
Please don’t share this link with anyone else.
It’s meant for people like you who are on my
mailing list.
Remember, there’s room for only 150 paid
attendees. And after March 31, if there are
any seats left, the price will go up.
So visit these two pages and secure your seat
today — before they are made available to a
wider audience:

Last week I announced that Natalie Gelman, an
NYC-based indie singer-songwriter, was a winner
of the online drawing for a complimentary
admission.
The second and final winner is Terri England,
a guitarist from the Corpus Christi, Texas,
area who plays “cool Brazilian jazz.” She’ll
be bringing Sharon Rogers as her guest. Visit
Terri’s site at www.terriengland.com.
Congratulations to Natalie and Terri for being
the winners that they are.
I hope to see YOU in June at the Indie Buzz
Bootcamp too!
Terry Prince Teleclass March 31
Remember the inspiring musician I interviewed
on the Santa Monica pier last fall? The guy who
sold 15,000 CDs in 18 months street performing?
The video has been viewed more than 3,600 times
on YouTube.
If you missed it, you can watch it now at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUfXB5uY9KA
Well, Terry will be my guest on a one-hour
conference call the evening of Monday, March 31.
Callers will not only get a big dose of his
uplifting and empowering philosophy, but they’ll
also be able to ask Terry questions directly.
“Exactly how DID you sell that many CDs working
only seven and a half hours a WEEK?”
This call won’t be a freebie. There are two ways
to access the live call and an MP3 audio
recording of it soon after.
One way is to join my Music Marketing Insiders
Club. As a member, you’ll get access to the
Terry Prince teleclass AND more than a dozen
interviews I’ve conducted over the past 14
months, plus future calls as long as you’re
a member.
Details at www.MusicMarketingInsiders.com
Otherwise, non-members can gain access to the
call and MP3 download for $14.95. Let me know
if you’re interested in this one-time access
option and I’ll send you a link to make your
payment.
However, I guarantee the Insiders Club
membership is a far better bargain.
Berklee Music’s Spring Term Starts April 7
Becoming part of Berklee Music’s online faculty
has been an amazing experience. I never knew
there were so many students around the country
and across the globe who take college-level,
accredited courses online — on a schedule that
fits their lifestyle.
The course I developed and facilitate is called
“Music Marketing 101,” and I encourage you to
consider it. But don’t overlook the dozens of
other online courses covering Production,
Songwriting, Guitar, Bass, Arranging, Theory,
Harmony & Ear Training, and of course, Music
Business.
For details visit this page.
Thanks for reading. Until next time … share
your talents, connect with fans, get out there
and promote yourself!
