Now I've quiet minute to myself, I've had a chance to have a "proper" read and I think you're spot on. As a post for "outside" Hive consumption you make a very good case for people who need to increase both income and look for more lucrative value streams. And the kicker - you get instant feedback from fans you can engage with. What's not to love?
Oh, and I concur with @chekohler. In fact, as I recall, I may have suggested something similar...
I think your "guides" series is a fantastic idea and I wish you everything of the best with them.
Thanks a lot Fiona! That's what I'm hoping that we can get more people here and there's definitely a niche that PeakD can fill for the current situation in the music industry. There's a lot of great things that it's just not possible to cover in the first blog for someone who's never come across this before.
But there's a friendly community here waiting for them when they take the plunge (hopefully after reading a couple of the blogs in the series) to help set them on a great career on Hive/PeakD!
