Recently shared on MusicThinkTank, this handy four-point guide by Cherie Nelson details how an independent artist should market their music when it's time for it to hit the digital shelves.
"Stop telling yourself you’re too cool to be on social media. Metallica used to encourage people to record and share their music on cassette tapes off the radio, after all.
