Six Very Good Reasons
Why You Need Gigorama
1. The odds are
against you from the start
On the whole, parents, teaches and the general public are predisposed
to the idea of destined failure for aspiring career bound musicians, fearing
most that these individuals could one day be a son, daughter or loved
one. It’s a more presumptive conclusion than most musicians would
want to believe or accept. “This mind-set has robbed many music
career hopefuls, lessening their chance of even marginal success”.
2.
It takes more than talent to make a music career work
Managing a music career, no matter at what level requires a true sense
of organization, skill and know-how. Gigorama truly is business management
software for bands and musicians. Its simplistic interface promotes a
more intuitive and un-intimidating environment for its intended users.
3.
If you don’t run your music career, someone else will
Gigorama’s role is to help musicians manage the daily activities
of a working band or individual performer. While it offers real-world
usability, Gigorama can manage a broad range of tasks including scheduling
bookings arrangements, printing contracts and tracking individual band
member earnings with relative ease for both, single and multi-users. Gigorama
puts the power in your hands and places you in the driver’s seat.
4.
Gigorama offers many standard resources to help
you along the way
Automated contract generation; The ability to transfer gig data to band
members via Gigorama; links to web sites, PDF electronic copyright forms
and an extensive club/venue database are standard features designed to
inform and help the career bound musician market his or her talents and
skills at an accelerated pace.
5.
You can help explode a popular myth
The general opinion that musicians make poor business practitioners has
been widely embraced among the working community as well as the general
public. Exactly who coined the phrase may forever remain a mystery but
this profound observation deserves to be challenged by every musician,
including YOU.
6.
Can you find ONE other person who cares about your
music career as much as you do?
“For as long as I can remember, musicians would come to me with
questions like, ‘How much should I charge for a gig or should I
use a contract when booking a gig?’ “I’d often ask myself,
why do they ask me? So one day in 1995 I decided to write my first book,
“The New! Working Musician’s One Year Organizer” and
got it published by Mel Bay Publications in 1996.”
A
few years later, in 1999 I wrote “Build and Manage Your Music Career”,
published by Mix Books/Artist Pro Press. Then, one day, that very same
year, I challenged myself to produce (Gigorama), a software tool that
would help bands and musicians achieve the very thing they needed most,
(structure and organization).
It
had to be easy to use and yet, powerful enough to handle the daily and
often demanding tasks that bands and musicians faced. After months and
months of hard work, sweat and a lot of my own personal funding, Gigorama
was born.
In
a sense, I’ve become very passionate about the success of the independent
musician, including myself, because the odds are against us from the very
start. [back]
