The Definitive Resource For Artist Managers and Self Managed Artists - The role of artist managers will become increasingly important as the industry landscape becomes more complex by virtue of decreasing CD sales and increasing ancillary income opportunities in other fields; including third-party licensing, merchandising, sponsorships, endorsements, national and international touring, international licensing, international sub-publishing, paid digital downloads, creative regional and national distribution, and more. This definitive resource offers guidelines on how to position bands and artists for success in the ever-changing music industry landscape. Even though information is readily available on the internet, most of it is scattered in many locations across the web and presented out of context of the "big picture". This makes it difficult to figure out how all the various pieces relate to one another and fit together. Gathering the relevant information using the search engine method is like looking for pieces of a massive jigsaw puzzle that is scattered around an amusement park while having no idea of what the final image is supposed to be. In this instance, knowledge, context, and sequence are crucial. Without knowing what the final picture should be, even when you find some pieces, how do you know whether or not that piece is the last piece you need to complete the puzzle? It is extremely difficult to know what you're supposed to know when you don't even know what you don't know!
