working with the <strong>Memphis</strong><br />
<strong>Music</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
in May of <strong>2011</strong>. MRC<br />

every facet of launching<br />
their widely praised<br />

all individual and<br />
band material with the U.S. copyright office,<br />

“Working with the <strong>Music</strong> Resource Center staff has helped me<br />
achieve huge gains for my career. The MRC has assisted me in<br />
developing a solid online business structure for my music production<br />
website, VinylTheProducer.com. I’ve seen a $2,000 increase in<br />
monthly profits for my production website and its list of services<br />
since meeting with the MRC staff. Due to referrals and recommendations<br />
from the MRC, my clientele has actually doubled.<br />
During my initial artist assessment with Cameron Mann, we discussed<br />
ways to increase revenue from the services that I offer. Since<br />
then, I’ve successfully developed a second business that stemmed<br />
from resources that were originally used promote my music production<br />
website. The company has since (over the course of four<br />
months) generated profits that range in the thousands. I’ve used<br />
the printed information from the center to help develop a detailed<br />
business plan, marketing strategy, and music production/publishing<br />
agreements.”<br />
