Editor's Notes

  1. The management process through which goods and services move from concept to the customer Includes 4 Ps - Price, Promotional Stategy, Place, Product
  2. CD sales are falling worldwide.
  3. Brands like Jeep, Kia, Cadillac and Mazda are now either hiding the CD player in the arm rest or glove box. Or removing them entirely for USB or iPod connections
  4. Content is important especially visual content. How you deliver this content is also important in terms of timing. No one will help you as you cannot help them. Therefore your fans is and will always be the relationships you should keep closest to you Visibility -> Connection -> Monetization
  5. Content is important especially visual content. How you deliver this content is also important in terms of timing. Your fans is and will always be the relationships you should keep closest to you Visibility -> Connection -> Monetization
  6. Content is important especially visual content. How you deliver this content is also important in terms of timing. No one will help you as you cannot help them. Therefore your fans is and will always be the relationships you should keep closest to you Visibility -> Connection -> Monetization
  7. Constant marketing is needed
  8. Youtube pays $2 per 1000 views after a 1000 views = 100,000 views Artists argue that Spotify along with labels don’t pay enough per spin ($0.006) Soundcloud is royalty free service at this time. Needs to be linked to be profitable. Some distribution companies take ownership of all your distribution and sometimes your masters. Record label without being an actual record label.
