Great For Beginners3
I bought this book looking for a complete resource to marketing with myspace for bands and music videos. It's really directed towards a more beginner user to myspace. The book has some good notes and guidelines here and there, but nothing extraordinary. There is a lot of redundancy in the survey section too. I'd recommend the book to musicians who are new to myspace and marketing. Overall, not a bad read, just not enough juicy info as hyped.

An o.k. read3
This was an o.k. read but not really what I was looking for. I did go elsewhere but this definitely wasn't a complete waste of time. I did learn a couple of things from this book.

How to get ripped off1
'How to get the most from your MySpace promotion' reads the promiss on the backcover of the book. But this promiss is certainley NOT true at all. Bob Baker wrote only 48 pages of the book himself, which text is a summary of the results of a questionaire done by Bob through MySpace. The other 70 pages or so are written by '30 indie music people' (how about giving them a credit on the cover of the book, Bob?). These are the raw, full length responses from the 30 artists, managers and promotors who responded to Baker's MySpace Music Marketing Tips survey. Therefore, the following 4 boring questions are repeated 30 times:
- General thoughts on MySpace as a promotion tool;
- Top MySpace marketing tips;
- Biggest MySpace drawbacks;
- Additional MySpace thoughts.
You do not need to buy the book, because here are the results:
- yes, MySpace can be a promotional tool for a band, besides other promotional tools;
- blog, blog, blog (be active);
- there are over 2 million artists you are competing with;
- MySpace is super time-intesive and the site is very very slow.
That's it. I certainley do not understand the halleluja-words on the backcover of the book.
