December 12, 2009 – Artists, songwriters, producers, and promoters who want to start their own independent music label can now use UltimateRecordLabel.com as a go-to source for everything they need to know, from financing their label to selling their music.  The website supports beginners in the music industry by offering an affordable course on establishing an independent label and maximizing profit margins.

“Our product offers a quick MBA on the music industry,” explains Ty Cohen, president of Platinum Millennium, which runs UltimateRecordLabel.com.  “By the time you finish the course, you can already start a successful independent music label,” he adds.

The Ultimate Record Label Course covers financing (where to source funds to start an independent record label), distribution, legal structuring, promotion, and profit maximization. The course likewise teaches its students where and how to find the best and cheapest manufacturers for their label’s requirements – from CD providers to office supply warehouses.  Materials include downloadable audio lectures, workbooks, manuals, and checklists for success. It even includes the exclusive Ty Cohen Royalty Calculator Software, which helps users calculate exactly the percentage of royalty the artist should be receiving, making it much easier to project profit potential.

The response to UltimateRecordLabel.com has been affirmative.  “The Ultimate Record Label Course saved me from having to do all the legal research and legwork involved in improving the way I run my independent label,” says Milton Lau, president of the 20-year-old Rhythm & Roots Records & Recording Studio.

Many other testimonials found in UltimateRecordLabel.com prove that the course is indispensable to beginner music industry entrants who intend to be successful. Cohen attributes the success of the product to the fact that it reveals the “secret sauce” to building and running a lucrative label.

“Many small but extremely successful independent record labels make millions in profits yearly from their artist’s music. Some of them are so small that they run their businesses from their garage, and yet they make serious money.  Their secret is simple – it’s knowing now only how to start a music label, but how to structure their business to maximize profit and protect their interests. You used to need a big shot lawyer to be able to do this, but with theUltimateRecordLabel.com, all you need now is a computer,” Cohen concludes.

Lions Bay, B.C ( QualityPressReleaser ) July 24, 2009 -With music more commonly downloaded off the internet than purchased at retail stores these days, users have been waiting for an innovative approach to buy and benefit from their music. Martin Richmond, the artist behind MRDC is perhaps one of the most innovative musicians in the industry. Not only has he recently launched a new album titled “Infomusication”, his new website mrdc-music.com is breaking new ground in the way music is purchased and promoted.

For just $25 per year subscribers to mrdc-music.com can purchase a subscription to the site and download all of MRDC’s music, which currently consists of three albums and bonus material. What’s more is that the website allows users to share the music with their friends and get paid for referrals.

“I wanted to create a website that would reward my fans for telling their friends about me. So many artists lose their personal connection with their fans when they put their music on some of the popular download sites. They also charge per song or per album and don’t reward fans for telling others about their music. I wanted my website to reward my fans who become members and then tell their friends about me by paying them back for the referral. They get a sharing license and a $10 refund if they want to tell friends about me. They then get up to an additional $5 for every person they tell about me that signs up for a subscription to my site. I figured that so many people share their favorite new music finds with their friends on social networking sites and blogs that they may as well get some money for it,” stated owner and artist Martin Richmond.

When you sign up to be a member of mrdc-music.com you can also sign up to be a member of the “Street Team” which then allows you to download links, banners and other promotional material. For example, users who have signed up for the Street Team can post their link in a post on their Facebook or Twitter pages and MRDC will pay them for every referral that signs up for a subscription.

Martin Richmond, the artist behind the music and the idea for the website went on to say, “Artists have lost their personal connection with their fans and I feel that this site allows me to connect with them as well as reward them for telling their friends about my music. I figured it was only fair that they be rewarded for taking the time to tell someone they like what they hear at my site mrdc-music.com.”

April 17, 2009 – Independent singer and songwriter E. Walter Smith  is taking promotions to the next level by enlisting the support of some of the biggest names in the music industry. In an interview with Platinum Millennium president Ty Cohen, Smith recounted his strategies for success when it comes to getting noticed in show business. The podcast of the said interview is available through Ty Cohen’s podcast channel at TyCohen.podomatic.com. The channel is one of the many projects managed by Platinum Millennium Publishing, a leading name in multimedia software solutions.

“Getting connected with the right people does go a long way in the music industry,” says Platinum Millennium president and music business consultant Ty Cohen. “My interview with Smith works to show just how much visibility a cause or even an artist can get by asking the help of bigger artists.”

Cohen goes on to explain that the music industry is a tightly-knit community so it’s not uncommon to hear of reports of artists collaborating towards the success of various causes or to further one another’s careers. “Every upcoming musician needs to understand that he can’t get on top on his own,” he adds. “Impressing the bigger names in the industry is just as important as having great talent.”

The interview with Smith covered the singer’s campaign against domestic violence and how other artists such as rapper T.I helped him with the cause. The platinum selling rapper reportedly recorded a public service announcement for The Tenderness Campaign to further public awareness about domestic violence and abuse.
