Some Useful Blogs about Online Music Marketing

There are so many music blogs out there that it can be difficult to
keep up with all of it. As with finding new music, finding good blogs
is often a result of what's recommended from people you know. Here's a
thread of the top 5 blogs that I've been reading that I think are
insightful and relevant to selling music online.

1.
NewMusicStrategies.com - Philosophy of selling music online by a
Birmingham (UK) professor named Andrew Dubber. Download his ebook, it
is incredibly important. He also has a couple of sister sites that he
started: MusicThinkTank.com and NewMusicIdeas, which are both good.

2.
SethGodin.com - A general online marketing blog, but he often makes
direct comments about the music business. This is the #1 marketing blog
online.

3. KnowTheMusicBusiness.com - Sometimes an aggregate of other blogs, but well culled and good writing.

4. Coolfer.com - Music Business news about artists, labels, tech startups. Some good editorial content.

5. Digital Music News - A daily feed of what's going on in the online music business world.
