25 music crowdfunding mistakes that'll make you look selfish DIY Musician Blog [This article was written by guest contributor Ian Anderson of the Launch and Release Blog.] Asking for money sucks. Maybe you fear rejection or maybe you worry that you’ll look desperate, greedy, incompetent or rude. It’s a lot like being a middle schooler trying to hold hands or put an arm around your date while at the movies. Asking for money often raises internal doubts like: * Will I seem greedy? * Will it negatively affect our relationship? * Do they trust me? * Will they understand why or buy into my vision? * Will I look like an a—hole? These are legitimate questions and they can arise in a variety of circumstances in life.But when you are going to run a music crowdfunding project, you cannot afford to have these questions dogging you because self doubt and fear will betray your efforts in some subtle and many not-so-subtle ways. Thus, it is CRUCIAL that you are WELL PREPARED to ask for money for your crowdfunding project. How to get what you want crib sheet * Say Thank You Ask. Period. Why?

I Bought an Apartment Just to Rent Out on Airbnb I bought an apartment in 2012 specifically to rent out on Airbnb. I’ve been managing it remotely for the past year. Here's everything I've learned so far, as well as some revenue numbers. Finding a Place to Buy Each listing on Airbnb has a publicly visible calendar that shows which nights are booked and which nights are available. Simply find a listing located in an area where you’re thinking about buying and click on the calendar tab. Red = Booked. There are a lot of places in the United States where housing prices are still very cheap. I found a place in Las Vegas for $40,000. This is what the apartment looked like when Wheatley purchased it. I spent roughly $10,000 to update the apartment, including all furniture, an Apple TV, new hardwood flooring and fresh paint in all the rooms. Shortly before installing the hardwood flooring. Unfortunately, there’s no IKEA in Las Vegas, so I spent a lot of time just waiting for stuff I ordered online to be delivered. Getting It Going By the Numbers
Growing Your Design Business So you’ve launched your own creative business, and you’re starting to grow. That’s great! But good growth won’t just happen. How did you gain the design chops that got you where you are today? If you want to grow in a sustainable, satisfying way, then you need to pay attention to how you’re growing, not just how much. The wrong clients#section1 As a business owner, you might assume you should serve everyone you can. The more bad clients you try to serve, the less time you have to look for good clients. But what makes a good client? They understand your value and let you remain in control of the design process as the professional.They are enjoyable to work with. Firing clients (further, keeping the wrong clients out of your company in the first place) is one thing that sets strategic business owners apart from those who struggle through growth. Whether your clients are good or bad, you can bet that they will send you more clients just like themselves. Hiring for hiring’s sake#section2
Copyright for Collage Artists What's new at "Copyright for Collage Artists": Added items to the myths page about parody and the poor man's copyright. Added a couple of links to the links page. If, like me, you are a collage artist, then copyright is probably a matter of great concern to you. Though I am not a lawyer, I have done a fair amount of research into copyright law as it applies to collage in the past few years. I hope this page will serve as a starting point for people who are researching copyright on their own. I welcome your feedback if you see an error on these pages, have some information you'd like to see added, or want to tell me you liked or hated the page.
Simmons SD7K Electronic drum set Selling a Simmons SD7K Electric drum set along with a Simmons DA50 50 Watt Amplifier, drum chair and sticks and Bass pedal. Its been used a few times by me but everything works perfectly! Unfortunately, i have no use for it anymore. I'd hate to get rid of it but i have a real drum set now. I am trying to sell to mostly in Arizona to avoid the hassle of out of state shipping. Want to buy this? ALL communication is centered around the WANT, which puts the power back in the hands of The Buyer. Get the idea?
