They took their extensive touring experience and contacts and have provided an extremely valuable resource for other musicians. indieonthemovelogo

I’ve split the episode into 4 parts. You can listen to each part individually – between 4:30 and 7:00 minutes or download the entire episode.

Kyle shares great insight into the touring process and introduces you to the why and how IndieOnTheMove.com came about.

Merchandise is critical for both generating income and more importantly, providing fans – passionate listeners – with something to take home with them. They want a piece of you and you need to give it.

In the video I show a way I am using 1 hour photo at Costco or Walmart to quickly have a nice giveaway. The idea was provided to me by Ryan Michael Galloway of We Don’t Need No Record Company. I modified it with the digital download codes and using a two-up layout.

Here is the photo – rather than a 4X6 photo, it is two 4X3 images.

This photograph was taken by Chadwick Fowler

In a coming tutorial, I’ll go into debth on how I created both the photo in.. Microsoft Publisher (you do not need Photoshop) and and the digital downloads.

It is one of the reasons I use WordPress and that will become apparent in a future tutorial.
