2. Introduction

Welcome to the April Indie Contact Newsletter.

This month Publicist Ariel Hyatt presents a very insightful
article that will help you to understand that in order to be
successful, you need to think more like an "Internet" Marketer
and less like a "Music" Marketer. You can also watch a video
Marketing series put on by Ariel. The link can be found in
the General Resources: Education section in the online
section of this newsletter.

CD and T-shirt sales are great for selling at your gigs, but how
do you use the power of the internet to maximize artist-to-fan
sales? theBizmo is new digital tool that can help. It is the first
360 degree “microstore widgetâ€ð that enables you to sell all your
digital content and products, right from your social network pages
and websites. Right now, subscribers of this newsletter can get a
free bizmoPro ($49.95 value) with custom-designed skin until
June 30th.

Also, please take a moment to check out our updated affiliate
program
for the Indie Bible and Indie Venue Bible. It's an easy
way to generate a few extra dollars each month. We'd love to
have you as a partner.

Remember, If you have a service that can help out artists
or songwriters and would like to be listed in this newsletter,
please don't hesitate to get in touch. Just e-mail your details
to indiecontactnewsletter_at_rogers_dot_com
