What People are Saying about MPN

"Helps me think seriously about my music business by learning from leading figures. A solid online course for understanding contemporary music marketing. "
Fernando Gross - MPN Member

"Derek Sivers rocks! This video is amazing! Knowing directly from himself how CD Baby started and get advice from him is priceless. You should go through the whole video, but my favorite parts are the "Advice for Entrepreneur" waiting for the "ideal" scenario or resources to do what you want. Start small and grow consistently from there."
Borandá - MPN Member

"I just watched MPN member 'Clash of Civilizations' video on and I was blown away by it! The imagery was so powerful and the seamless way that they constructed the 'sound montage' really left me pondering some major assumptions about the world we live in. I wanted to tell you this because the more I explore the MPN site, the more I realize how unique it is as a multi-facetted music resource. "
Debra Larimer

"If you need a Reality Check in the Music Business join MPN."
Alan Johnson

"MPN provides a good framework to understand the state of the industry and the possible futures."
Rick Parnell - MPN Member
