Band to Fan Relationships Drive New Music Business Models
Linda Thompson
Lots of us have been intrigued by Kevin Kelly's (no relation!) dissertation on 1,000 True Fans and his premise that you can make a decent living by cultivating 1,000 true fans who will pay you for your craft much easier than trying to make music that satisfies the craving of 6 billion people.

Jack Kelly, Adva's CEO, shares his insight over these new initiatives and how can musicians best leverage them.

Expert Insight: One of the greatest tools to come available to the independent and self-promoted artist and musicians is mobile media
"Giving your fans the ability to access a mobile website via their Blackberry, iPhone, Sidekick or other handheld device to stay updated on your tour schedule, new recordings and blogs is an incredible tool for promoting you the artist or band." says Rodney Lambert, Owner and Artist manager at VIP Entertainment Group. "For artists who want to be ahead of the game, creating a mobile website may increase marketing success with a small investment as well as generate sales and expand your fan base."
