So there I was on the subway reading the NY Times, and once again in the Monday Business Section in the “Most Popular” Column was the list of best selling artists/releases, and once again there was a TuneCore Artist nestled between the other major label artists.

One of the most important things an artist can do in order to help accelerate his or her growth is to implement a well-executed and designed “touring” strategy.

By using distance toured/number of dates played as your metrics, you run the risk of misjudging the success or failure of the endeavor.
