The book is a great starting point for those interested in the  business side of the music industry. Think of it as a quick business  foundation musicians can use to get things going. <\/p>\n<p>All  musicians want to share what they\u2019ve created, but talent will only get  them so far. There are a lot of talented people out there that don\u2019t  make it to the next level and are never heard. This book\u2019s goal is to  give musicians a good foundation to be ready for when opportunity  knocks, but also to bring opportunity to their door. <\/p>\n<p>Ponce explains: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI  would have loved to have this information when our band started. There  were so many unanswered questions that took years of searching and  experience to learn. If this book had existed back then, we could have  leaped over the fire instead of trying to walk through it! I know a lot  of new and current bands stuck on the \u2018what to do next?\u2019 question will  find value in the book\u2019s contents. I hope this book is a tool musicians  can use to help them get into a position to get to the next level and  notice what we were able to do as an unknown band and that they can do  it too!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The  book was inspired by multiple experiences Ponce had over the years, but  it was a conversation he had with a fellow musician that began the idea  for the book. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt  was a combination of several things. One of the biggest was an  interaction I had with a musician. We were at a conference in the U.S.  and ended up seated next to each other. He was from my city and their  band had been around for years, longer than my band. He was telling me  how their band had just gotten on iTunes and how that was a really big  thing for them. I thought to myself, this was something I could do in  five minutes. A lot of conversations like that happened and I realized I  knew how to do a lot of things really quickly that would really help a  lot of musicians move forward.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Don&#8217;t Forget The Business In The Music Business&#8217; is now available both digitally and paperback on Amazon<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481140451991_63221\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/uid57443.fb-urls1.com\/l.php?cid=1390796&amp;sid=130974361&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.ca%2Fdp%2FB01LYAUXA8%255C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a> <\/span>and AP Jones Publishing<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481140451991_63221\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/uid57443.fb-urls1.com\/l.php?cid=1390796&amp;sid=130974361&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apjonespublishing.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>Facebook:<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481140451991_63222\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/uid57443.fb-urls1.com\/l.php?cid=1390796&amp;sid=130974361&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FDont-Forget-the-Business-in-the-Music-Business-1617784771856514%2F%23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Dont-Forget-the-Business-in-the-Music-Business-1617784771856514\/#<\/a> <br \/><\/span>Twitter:<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481140451991_63222\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/uid57443.fb-urls1.com\/l.php?cid=1390796&amp;sid=130974361&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fapjonespublish\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@APJonesPublish<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span>Source:<span id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1481140451991_63222\" style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/uid57443.fb-urls1.com\/l.php?cid=1390796&amp;sid=130974361&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apjonespublishing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.apjonespublishing.com<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/uid57443.fb-urls1.com\/l.php?cid=1390796&amp;sid=130974361&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.apjonespublishing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The only \u2018how to\u2019 books that matter are by those who&#8217;ve experienced what they\u2019re writing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6340\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
