Crowdfunding the Right Way
Making music a lucrative career is a lifelong battle for many musicians. While there are many new obstacles such as digital downloading, piracy, etc that can work against any rising musician, there are also ample opportunities to work new tools to your advantage. Crowdfunding is a major resource these days – but knowing how to approach and execute your efforts can make all the difference in the world.

Think through your budget, identify what it is you're trying to achieve, set a budget and begin with the right platform.
