Indie Connect Announces Major Changes to Help Indie Artists!
Indie Connect has helped thousands of independent artists in Nashville over the past 3 years with their ongoing weekly networking workshops. Now we are proud to announce several major changes in our services to expand our reach globally. These changes include:
- Major Website Changes – A completely revamped website (www.indieconnect.com) that includes a social network just for members. This will be used to provide more and better training and networking opportunities. There is no cost to join and be a part of the community.
- Indie Connect Magazine – Our extremely popular blog for indie artists, is now incorporated within our main website as well.
- New Chapters – New chapters in Birmingham AL, Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago are just the start of an active campaign to set up chapters in every major city in the world. We are also looking to add chapters in smaller cities as well as on every college campus. If you are interested in starting a chapter, contact Vinny Ribas at vinny@indieconnect.com.
- Live Webinars – We are now broadcasting many of our live events so people can participate from anywhere in the world!
- Music Innovators Video Series – Indie Connect is about to film a series of approximately 200 video interviews of people from every corner of the music industry who are innovating the way they do business to adapt to all of the changes in the industry and economy. We want to develop a clear picture of what all the roles in the industry will look like 5-10 years from now. Our goal is to make it easier for anyone of any age who is seeking a career in music, or changing roles within the industry, to pick roles that will not only still be around, but also be in demand over the next 5-10 years. These videos will be free to the public and posted everywhere!
- Networking Opportunities – We are increasing the number of music industry networking opportunities we provide. These include new live networking conference calls, Google hangouts, live networking events and the new member-only social network.
- Membership Drive – We are launching a global membership drive to fund all of these services and keep them extremely affordable for indie artists. We have 3 membership levels. Our Free membership gives those members access to many training articles and videos, the social network and some networking opportunities. Our General Members ($10/month) have access to many videotaped workshops, additional networking events, coaching programs and much more. Pro Indie Connect members ($20/month) have access to virtually everything that Indie Connect offers, plus additional Pro Member-only opportunities.
This is just the start! We have a lot of even bigger plans for uniting the independent music industry worldwide and getting everyone on the same page!
