So as the Ramones would say, "Hey Ho, Let"s Go!"

Key #1: BE PASSIONATE
You need to love music and be so passionate about it that you are willing to put in the hours of hard work and effort it takes to start a record label. If your passionate, you will have that
important drive that would make any new start up record label succeed.

Key #2: FIND GOOD TALENT
It is essential when you start a record label to have quality artists on your label roster. This is just common sense. Without good talent, no one will be interested in THEIR music on YOUR record label.

Key #3: LEARN HOW TO MARKET YOUR LABEL
You can have some of the best artists on your label but the truth is, if you don"t market them and your record label, no one will even know. And even worse, no marketing (or poor marketing) will lead
to slow sales, which will lead to your own empty pockets. There are very effective ways to market your record label and bands. This is also covered in The Ultimate Record Label Handbook mentioned
above.

Now, these are only 3 key steps you need to cover when you start a record label. There are more, but these are essential.

So get out there and start your record label. Don"t be afraid, you can do it! Just imagine how much fun it will be owning your own record label and doing
what you love! Now, how many people can actually say they LOVE their job? And hey, just remember, it only takes ONE hit song, ONE hit band, or ONE hit album and your label"s success can explode!

Stick with these 3 key steps and you will be on your way to a life in the music biz!
