The Art of Making Contact
I was on Derek Siver’s website the other day and came across his free e-book on how to market yourself as a musician. I filled out the form – and guess what? I got an email from Derek asking for more information about myself and how he can help me out, presumably to further my music career. I emailed back and told him how I am beginning to get started with GTD; he replied back to tell me about the follow up book Ready for Anything – and reminded me to get going on my outstanding projects.
So what just happened here? I have just made contact with the founder of CD Baby. Holy smokes, Internets! And it was him that was proactive about making contact with me. Almost wished that I got some business or marketing questions ready to ask him.
By the way, his e-book is excellent, even if you are not in the music industry. The lessons in there apply to anyone wanting to get ahead in any industry. Highly recommended.
