**Artist 2.0 Manifesto & An Email Newsletter Template**

In his latest blog at [Music Think Tank](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/the-artist-20-manifesto.html?ref=hypebot.com), digital marketer **Chris Bracco** gives artists a free, simple to use HTML e-mail **[newsletter template](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/structuring-an-e-mail-newsletter-for-your-fans-free-template.html?ref=hypebot.com)**. Considering the number of fans that check their e-mail via cell phone, Bracco warns that those all flashy newsletters that artists send out may end up not looking as imagined. Hence, the need for a clean, back to basics, e-mail newsletter format. Next up, **Michael Johnson** gives his perspective in **[The Arist 2.0 Manifesto](http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/the-artist-20-manifesto.html?ref=hypebot.com)**, where he outlines a pledge for unsigned artists; it's somewhat idealistic, but insightful nonetheless.

1. We will no longer create art solely for a **specific demographic**.
2. We will allow our **creativity free reign**.
3. We will no longer refer to our **art solely as a Product**.
4. We will not allow our art to be **governed by a Formula**.
5. We **reject genre labels** when possible, by labeling our music “**other**.”
