Very Good Information!

This is a very good road map to starting and running an independent record label!

Founder of SoulMindz Music - John Jones say's 'Get it'

Step by step this is all you need to get a good overview of starting your own label. I was very informed and it put me on to a lot of info.

This is a must have book for any experience level

Weather your a seasoned veteran or new to the business, this book is for you. Use it to touch up on what you already know, or use it to learn what you need to know. This book made a HUGE impact on the way our record label runs. I suggest this to ANYONE intrested in building a solid record label foundation. The book is easy to read without all the techinal jargon and terms, but not so simple that you get poor information. Not convinced? Go to your local Barns n' Noble today and give it a look.

Starting a Label

This book is definitely required reading if you are trying to start your own label without much experience. Me, I am only 20 years old, and have no experience in the music or business areas, and this book is definitely a key to my learning foundation. It's not ALL you need to know, but it definitely will tell you a lot about exactly what the title says. It will help you 'Start and Run Your own Record Label,' and will give ANYONE a leg up. I don't care how long you've been involved in the industry, or how much you THINK you know, don't pass up the book unless you've written one yourself.

Don't hesitate! Get this book!

This book is outstanding. I'm an aspiring gospel label owner and I was a total newbie in the music industry. After reading Schwartz's book, I understand so much more. I like the way she breaks it down and uses examples and people who are currently in the biz to emphasize important points. I highly recommend this to anyone who is in the dark about the biz. People now come to me asking me questions about the biz. It's great! Thanks so much, Daylle Schwartz. This book is just what I needed.

All you need

I read this book and was very impressed. If you have a gut feeling about the music business this is a fundamentally sound back-up to that feeling. Step by step this is all you need to get a good overview of starting your own label.

EXCELLENT FOUNDATION BOOK

Daylle Deanna Schwartz wrote an excellent survey book on how to start and run a record label. It is a book for people who are interested in starting their own music label, managers, artist, etc. I would truly recommend this book to anybody who is tossing the idea around in their head about entrepeneurship in music, college students(like me), or an artist and personal manager who is sick of waiting to get signed by a major label! Her topics ranges from Distributions, copyrights, Marketing and promotion, Radio airplay, and internatinal market, among others. Schwartz also includes tips from other indpendent label owners, distributers, publicist, journalist, and Program and music directors at college and commercial radios. She emphasizes HARDWORK, PROFESSIONALISM, PERSISTENCE, MARKETING and PROMOTING your artist. Also make sure you have a great lawyer and search for the money trail (government grants, investors, loans, etc) to start up your label. After reading this book the next step you need to do if you are truly serious and ready to work HARD and SMART is research each individual topics ranging from starting a small business, to business plans, Distribution and copyrighting,MARKETING AND PROMOTION, etc!!! There is also books on internet promotion that are more up to date. The key here is to RESEARCH and not just use this one book for all the answers. Invest in going to music seminars, people. People aren't going to you, you have to go to them and get in THEIR face!!! I can't wait to read her other music book. One more thing: she was a high school teacher, but she had the faith, motivation and drive to start her own label in this shark infested and diseased industry. Schwartz REASEARCHED and worked HARD and SMART. YOU have to start somewhere!!! For all those who wrote negativly about the book: YOU TRY WRITING A BOOK ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY FROM EXPERIENCE!! That was thoughtful she even decided to write on starting a label. People aren't willing to share ideas on staring a label in the idustry especially since it seems like a fad! Everyone has one, it's the latest craze(sarcasim)!!!

The more I know the more I want to be self-contained

Superb written book. This book is written in simple terms (KISS). I highly recommend this to anyone trying to get into the music industry; ANYONE!! I can't wait for part two.
