av a business plan.
bring in talent
listen to diffrent genres of music
meet the press
Meet the engineers . Find the local
recording studios in your area, and
visit them. Some may be
extravagant, high-end studios, and
many will be modest one- or two-
room affairs, with varying equipment
standards. While that is certainly
something to consider, more
important is the quality of music that
comes out of their speakers.
Establish your brand . Once you've
got the practical business matters
well in hand, cultivate and maintain
the aesthetic layers of your record
label. Create a logo and make sure
you use your logo and "look" on your
physical labels, on your website, and
on all stationary, t-shirts, mugs, etc.
Sign bands and acts that fit in with
the particular image you hope to
cultivate.
Never say no to any talent. Stay in
touch even though you can't sign
them at the moment!
Persevere. Like any startup, starting a
record label is hard work, and will
take constant effort and time on
your part. If you work hard at it, find
the right talent, and promote your
label effectively, you are on your
way!
Never rest on your laurels! Keep one
step ahead of your competition by
protecting your rights and finding
new, unique talent.
