An artist’s image is very important, as I’m sure I don’t have to tell you. But this isn’t limited to “youâ€. It should be extended to your site and all your related web properties.
If you happen to be a great graphic designer as well as a musician – super. But in most cases, that’s not going to be your specialty.

That’s another corner most webmasters cut. I did too, and still do now and then. It’s okay to make some amateurish graphics to test ideas, but once you decide to launch – do yourself a favor and hire a professional. You will find lots of excellent links in this course where you can get awe-inspiring work done for peanuts.
Once again – do not delay your own progress by improvising and making it all up as you go. Get into the mindset of DELEGATING.
Remember: Work ON your business, not FOR it.
Here are some of the best places to outsource your designs from:
- 99designs.com – Multiple designers compete to win your bid.
- MicroLancer.com – Specialized in logos, WordPress, e-covers, book layouts and more
- KillerCovers.com – Amazing designs for your eBooks, DVDs, CDs, etc.
- Pixelofgenius.com – Top-notch graphic designer.
- Other equally fabulous designers include Adam Maywald, KillerSalesDesign.com, DesignGuruRyan.com, DoYouImpress.com and Dribbble.com
And here are a couple of useful “related†links:
- PSD2HTML – Convert your PSD designs to high quality, cross-browser compatible, valid XHTML / CSS markup.
- DimpleArt.com – Very affordable, high-quality caricatures you can create for your website, squeeze page, and overall branding.
I must also point out that although all of the recommendations in this book are top notch in quality, MANAGING freelancers can be a little tricky sometimes. This is yet another reason why using MEW Outsourcing Management is such a good idea. They typically charge you 25% (up to 50%, depending on the type of job) above the outsourcer price to coordinate everything for you. You get the benefit of the highest expertise on the web at the lowest prices – without any of the hassle that sometimes accompanies these things.
So now you have all the basics in place. It’s time to start looking at promoting your site – and your music – and showing you some concrete ways in which you can earn enough (mostly on auto-pilot), to be able to sustain yourself and be able to do nothing other than music for as long as you like!
