CMT – Could You Be a Country Music Success in Nine Weeks?

 By: Alison Bonaguro

This definitely feels very too-good-to-be-true. But, that being said, the woman who wrote this book, Ariel Hyatt, knows what she’s doing. She’s kind of a publicity whiz for the music business. So she’s put everything she knows into this book called Music Success in Nine Weeks about how artists can “define their brand, grow their fan base, earn more income and achieve success in the digital environment.” One of Hyatt’s clients, Michael Lynche, made it to the top four on this season’s American Idol. And he praises her ability to teach musicians the art and science of social networking. And since the book is less of a lecture and more of a workbook, it’s helpful in a very hands-on and useful way. I don’t know that it comes with a guarantee that if you order it today, you’ll be the next Carrie Underwood by the end of July, but it certainly can’t hurt if you are an aspiring artist who could use some guidance to navigate the all the Facebooks, Twitters and Reverb Nations out there.
