A few weeks ago I got to present at PodCamp Nashville. The topic - comparing three different music marketing platforms. Bandcamp, Reverbnation and TopSpin. They’re summarized below.
Going by the Twitter stream and this blog post, the biggest take home most of the audience apparently got from my presentation was:
1) “As a musician, your biggest competition is porn. And if you’re paying for porn, you’re doing it wrong.”
2) “Have A Plan.”
Well, one out of two ain’t bad….
The first bit of wisdom was based on an Ars Technica Bit Torrent downloads graphic I had in my slides:
