2013 Tuneup!

December 30th, 2012 Comments off

2013 is here! What are you doing to impact more people with your music and mission?

I’m sure you have heard the saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing, but expecting different results.” Now is the time to ask yourself the tough questions concerning your music, your mission, your overall content, and who you are!

We’ve worked with literally thousands of independent Christian artists, bands, worship leaders, songwriters and other creatives for the past 20 years, helping them define and refine the who, what, when, where, why, and how of their music missions! Most of those we consult with are so close to what they are doing they find it difficult to self evaluate. They continue on the same trajectory, while hoping things break loose for them somehow, somewhere. Not a very proactive plan.

So, to kick on 2013, we’re offering a special program called “The 2013 Tuneup!” Just like a car needs its oil changed, and diagnostics to discover and correct problems, you need it too in your music mission! But “doing it yourself” can “do yourself in!”

 Keith Mohr and Sue Ross-Mohr know how to go from 0 to 60 in your music mission and are available to service your indie artist engine! Here’s our special offer just for you!

Sue specializes in helping you discover who you are. Sue calls it, finding your “Inner Vizion”. Once you define your IV, you can then refine your content and set in place a plan to take you from Point A to Point B. Sue turns red lights green! You’ll receive a 1 hour consultation with Sue via phone/Skype where you’ll describe your music mission and your vision, and Sue will provide her thoughts on how to supercharge your music mission!

Keith specializes in music and overall content. Keith is the founder/president of Indieheaven.com and has produced countless albums and songs since 1997, having owned and operated a commercial recording studio. Keith continues to serve artists and songwriters with his Water to Wine Productions based in Franklin, TN. Keith will listen to your music and provide you an overall evaluation of your songwriting, musicianship, and production. A 1 hour phone consult with Keith where he will share his thoughts with you and answer your questions is also included.

Pick either Sue or Keith, or both!!

The regular price for this service is $129 each, but for a limited time only, we’re discounting it to just $99 each!

To schedule your 2013 Tuneup, contact Keith ASAP at: info@indieheaven.com, or text him at 615-594-0426. Make sure to let him know your name!

(We’re limiting this offer to the first 10 people who contact us, arrange for their session, and remit the fee so do not delay!!!)

Selling Your Music on Indieheaven- Advantages

December 7th, 2012 Comments off

Advantages to selling your music on Indieheaven are:

1- You get all 100% of your sales income!
For our Sold-Out Arenas and Touring Pro tier members…
Sell a song for 99 cents, and get all 99 cents! Sell a digital album for $9.99 and get all $9.99. We eat the transaction fee! (that’s the fee the credit card companies charge for an online transaction.. its about 30 cents per item, plus 3%!)

Here’s how it works!
As a Touring Pro member, We first apply sales income to your membership support, which as a Touring Pro tier member, is $19.95 per 30 day period from the day you signed up. So, if you have more than $19.95 in sales during your first 30 day period, your card is not charged for membership! If you sell more than $19.95, but less than $44.95 in a 30 day billing cycle, we roll over the balance to the next month, which will also decrease the out of pocket membership support. If you have a good sales period, and you have more than $25 in sales in your account (over $44.95 in sales), we send you money via PayPal! Make sure we have your PayPal account email so we can send your funds to you!

If you are a Weekend Warrior tier member, there is no monthly support fee, and we split sales income 50/50 with you. We’ll send your sales income to you when it hits $25

If you are a Sold-Out Arenas tier member, you prepaid your membership for a year you get all 100% and we send your funds to you when you hit $25! You also get lots of other perks!!!

Learn about Indieheaven membership tiers HERE.

2- You can run special deals at any time!
Just like Walmart, you can lower your price for your music at any time, let your friends, fans and followers know about your special offer, which will spur more sales! It doesn’t have to be much.. maybe from 99 cents to 75 cents.. then.. after the sale ends, you can raise the price back up.. You cannot do this on i-tunes or anywhere else! We can even do a special code for you to give a % discount.. let your people know to enter the code at checkout, and they get the deal!

3- You know who your customer is!
The bummer about i-tunes and the other digital stores is they do not tell you who purchased your music. A buying customer is a hot lead, that can lead to other things like a concert, or a funder for your music mission or who knows what. It all starts with the purchase! We provide you your customer name, city/state/zip, and email address! This way, you can reach out to them to say thanks, and do some suggestive selling.. ask them if they would like to sponsor a concert with you, or ask them for leads in their area for concerts. Don’t stop at the sale! Turn a single sale into much more by cultivating a relationship with your customer! A simple email thank you to your customer may turn into a life long fan, concert sponsor, donor, or more! Capitalize on these relationships!

4- Music Player/Sales Widget
Also, our new Music Sales widget is NOW AVAILABLE! You can copy and paste the widget code found in your artist admin, in the MY PROFILE section, click on MY WIDGETS. Copy and paste the code to your personal website, and other profiles you may have on the www. The more places you get this widget out on, the more possibility of selling your music! People will be able to listen and BUY your songs right from the widget! And.. your friends and fans can also copy the widget code right from the widget and paste it on their social network profiles to help you spread your excellent music! See how our Widget looks on a member personal site: HERE

5- Top Songs Chart
We Also have on Indieheaven our TOP SONGS CHART, where people can listen to and BUY songs from many members. It’s a fantastic way to get your music in front of people who may have never heard of you before! Chart position is determined by the number of song plays on your Indieheaven profile. The more listens, the better chance of getting on these popular charts!

So, you can see why selling music on Indieheaven makes good sense. Right?

The Key to selling your music:
The biggest mistake indie artists make is producing their music, but not promoting it. Most think God will do that for them, but folks.. God is not in the music business. And if you are selling or receiving money for services, you are a business. Treat it like a business and God will be there to help you. To sit and wait for something to happens, means you are a waiter. Miracles happen by works and faith.. not just faith!

It’s your job as the CEO of your record label to make sure your friends, fans and followers know your music is available! What we have found is that members who sell the most music on Indieheaven tell their friends, fans, and followers to come to Indieheaven to buy their music. So, let them know you are here and watch sales start happening! We’ll also do our part to drive people into Indieheaven to learn about our members. Together, we can do it, with God’s help!

EXTRA PROMOTION
I can help promote your music and increase your exposure!
Here’s How: (Pick any or all promo opportunities!)
1- Email blast press release to our lists, including radio stations, venues, industry, and over 60,000 fans of new Christian music!- $150
2- A week as our main featured artist on the front page of Indieheaven, and an interview on our New Indie Tuesday — $100
3- Posting about you on our social networks, reaching over 5,000 fans and followers of Indieheaven. When we promote, people respond!- Included w/ any promo service!

Let me know if interested and we’ll get to work, together!

If you are NOT a member or Indieheaven yet, learn about joining and being a part of the new music indie-stry HERE.

If you ARE a member of Indieheaven and are not offering your music for sale.. let’s get going with that so we can send YOU money!

Featured Artist: TouchPoint

August 30th, 2012 No comments

Each week we, at INDIEHEAVEN, want to share a little about one of the hundreds of unique artists at INDIEHEAVEN. Getting to know each other better is vital in being Independent Together.

Did you know, TOUCHPOINT, is now a Rescue Mission “reg”! The band has entertained twice during dinner for the guests of the Mission and once for a 2nd Helpings Gallery Artists Reception.

During dinner, they are scheduled to play 3 sets and stop by 7:15pm, but that is not what is happening. They are so popular, the guests continue to ask for “just one more song” and the band plays until the last guest leaves to go to Chapel.

With the backdrop of a 10’ trampoline painted as a smiley face, TouchPoint sings and smiles and praises God through their musical talents. The Rescue Mission is thankful and grateful to TouchPoint for reaching out in song and prayer to our guests.  

I love the fact that as musicianaries, this band is walking the talk outloud!  

Take a moment to view their page on Indieheaven Click Here! and give them a ‘thumbs up’ note of support!

Creatively His, Sue:)

“Each week we, at INDIEHEAVEN, want to share a little about one of the hundreds of unique artists at INDIEHEAVEN. Getting to know each other better is vital in being Independent Together.

Did you know, HARRY OFFUT, INDIEHEAVEN ARTIST, has taken the gift of teaching/mentor (which many of you know that he has utilized for Indieheaven Members for years:0) and takes time to let children know about the ‘music biz’. He recently met with a group of kids to reiterate the areas available to them in music careers and song writing. He humbly reiterated his personal journey and made it interactive, along with performing songs that wove into the encounter. This artist is a true teacher! Teaching others to teach other to teach others!

Did you know RICHARD ANDREW, Indieheaven Artist, get’s it! His website, bio and testimony personifies who he is. What makes his story unique is that he encourage others to share their story and provides a place on his website in which to do so. There is so much more about this artist, including his music, that makes him our INDIEHEAVEN Artist of the Week. In his words: “Your story, or ‘testimony’, about what God is doing in your iife is POWERFUL! So much so, that God likened your testimony to the blood of Jesus, which has the power to wash away all sin and overcome the enemy.”
