Announcing the SELL YOUR MUSIC Twitter Contest!

For the past few years I’ve been studying and collecting case studies of successful indie musicians, and I noticed that these musicians take actions which fall into four basic pillars, which I’ve named “The 4 C’s of the New Music Business”: Create, Capture, Connect, and Cash.

I’ve created a new set of classes, The SELL YOUR MUSIC! Workshop Series, that will launch in NYC on January 12th, and I’d like to get your help in spreading the word. To sweeten the pot, I’m launching The SELL YOUR MUSIC Twitter Contest! from January 6th – 9th.

Here are the prizes!

The Rock Star Life Lessons Gift Pack

EVERY contest entrant (and class attendee) will receive a Rock Star Life Lessons Gift Pack, which will include:
* My “Music Marketing Machine” eReport
* Free chapter of Musicians’ Roadmap to Facebook and Twitter by me and Ariel Hyatt
* 1/7: JUST ADDED! Artist’s Edge Coach Debra Russell has just added her “Multiple Streams of Music Income” mp3 to the Gift Pack! I own this recording myself, and can attest to how good it is. Wow – thanks, Coach Debra!!!
* Other free goodies from other Music Biz luminaries, who will be announced over the next few days.

The Grand Prize

Four Grand Prize winners get a full tuition scholarship to the SELL YOUR MUSIC! Workshop Series in NYC (worth $120). There will be one Grand Prize winner chosen and announced on each day of the contest, Jan 6th-9th.

(NOTE: This non-negotiable prize does not include travel or transportation expenses to NYC, only the price of the workshop series, which is worth $120. If the winner cannot attend the workshops in NYC, he or she will receive the SELL YOUR MUSIC! course materials)

Here’s How to Enter:

* Follow @carlalynnehall

* Retweet one or more of the following tweets from my timeline (samples below):

One winner will be randomly chosen and announced each day of the contest.

Contest Starts: Friday, January 6th at 10am
Contest Ends: Monday, January 9th at 5pm

Each retweet will win a Rock Star Life Lessons Gift Pack of Music Biz eReports.

See you on Twitter!

At the time of my writing on January 4, 2012, many folks are on “Beyonce Baby Watch”, waiting for news of Beyonce’s first baby. And what a coincidence that today’s scheduled interview is with Tina Knowles, Beyonce’s Mom!

Tina and Beyonce Knowles

In today’s interview, Tina Knowles talks about what it’s like to have a family member helping you with your music career, and offers suggestions on what to look for if you’re considering hiring your dad/brother/cousin to be your manager, stylist, producer, etc.
