Summary: The Experts are right on this one
Review: I read the reviews on this book in both MIX MAGAZINE and PERFORMING SONGWRITER MAGAZINE. Based on their positive reviews I picked up a copy of the book. BAM! Just as advertized this book can take your dream of being a studio owner into a reality.

This book cuts right to the chase, doesn't waste time with filler and spits the truth. The most helpful parts of the book were.....

*Where to find new Customers
*How to set pricing and command a fair wage
*Little known equipment tricks
*A lot of detail about Coypright, publishing and royalties
*How to make a Demo that will attract customers
*How to overcome objections from prospective clients

This book is the best one on the Market, bar none.

Summary: I chose this one because the cover looked cool....
Review: I've never liked Hal Leonard books because they always seem...lacking. This book is only 96 pages and the majority of them are some type of filler. There is not much informative information here, just a bunch of simple tips that common sense should have already shown anyone looking to make money with their studio. I don't know about you, but I don't need 2 pages concerning business card design. I don't need advice on pricing sessions for my studio. I don't need a chapter devoted to psychological techniques for aquiring clients. I wanted a book that would give me contract examples and let me see the details of securing money making deals first hand...I think there is 1 contract in the book. I don't even know if the contract shown has any legal validity...If you have a complete studio set up and are sitting there just completely blank in the mind trying to come up with a way to make some money off of your equipment this book might help you...Or.....radio commercials, tv commercials, churches, any local business in your area that has any audio need, post some ads and get their business. Now go spend the 10 bucks you were about to waste on this book on something useful. I only gave it 2 stars for the 1 contract, because hey at least it's something kind of useful...I would write the contract out right here but I'd probably get sued or something..okay I'm out.

Review: The book was easy to read and gave good advice for someone venturing into the home studio business.

Summary: Super helpful and informative!
Review: This book included just what I needed to hear. It's not going to be easy, but it can be profitable! So often we as studio owners keep thinking that "someday" we will be able to make money with our studio only when we get high price clients and record labels knocking down our doors! I think Mr. Volinchak makes such a strong case in regards to this misconception, but leads us back to the real reson that we ventured into the studio business to begin with...the fact that we love it.

His ideas on how to find new business, marketing your studio, staying within your budget and especially (my personal favorite)having community with other local studio owners are so powerful. I've probably heard most of this stuff so many times before, but I guess this book made such an impact on me because of the simplicity and truth presented in it. THIS BOOK IS WORTH THE MONEY! I would recomend it to anyone. Well done Mr. Volinchak.
