Great refresher for me but also plenty of helpful guidance and new information. Hard to come by this type of information anywhere.
By Julie Fritsch Evans on 4/23/2022
The course is a great overview for anyone who has no experience and needs to gain footing with the whole concept of releasing from A - Z. Adding Value to your Brand and why that is important you explained nicely. The additional Canva, Photoshop, YouTube and creating email Newsletter I was not expecting. This course I will most certainly share with the new young girl on my Team. She has no experience and this course I will most certainly buy for her. Nice one;) Good job Lads;)

By Christian Häussler on 3/29/2020
Wurde vermutlich schnell "zusammengeklopft". Für Tomas George eher oberflächlich. Seine anderen Kurse sind einiges besser.
By Ulrich Hünemörder on 12/29/2019
Well made and good information in there. I've already had some courses about music distribution and still got a lot of information out of this one.
By Jesús Genaro Rodríguez Mejía on 8/20/2019
This is really basic and looks like if they where sponsored by CDbaby, I was expecting a different knowledge

Informative, gives me a starting point and direction to my web presence setup
