New Artist Checklist

SoundExchange just published a great New Artist Checklist, on how to launch your career and protect your creative output. Check it out and pass it around! It’s a great reality check for new and established musicians alike.

We’re pleased that they plugged the AFM, calling us one of the groups “doing great things for musicians.” Indie artists at all stages of their careers are finding that the AFM helps them with a lot of the details that go into making a living in music.

Just to name a few — for recording projects, we offer an extremely easy agreement called the Joint Venture Report that allows band members to divide up album revenues and protect themselves if the album is picked up in a soundtrack or other commercial situation.

One service we’re really excited about is the newly-minted GoPro Tunes, which allows our members to sell their recordings and receive their entire sales revenues, minus credit card processing fees.

Lastly, every artist needs a website, and every artist needs instrument insurance. We offer both, at fantastic values. For instance, you can get a fully functioning website and domain name for as little as $30 a year.
