Get Specific
Sign Up For a Program With Ari
Now you've read all the posts and are wondering about the next steps your band should take?
I have a few different programs to work directly with me that might be right for your project.
Consulting Programs
I have created programs that step you through the process of going about virtually anything DIY (do it yourself) in music to fit your project specifically.
You will walk away with a comfortable command of the skills you need to master to be successful with the business side of your music career. Everything we discuss will directly relate to your project. I will spend time reviewing everything you have online and music that you have put out and come up with a plan that will launch your career to the next level.
If there are specific avenues you're looking to improve on such as touring, social media, local recognition, performing, obtaining press, making money with your music or anything you are struggling with or need to improve on with your career hit me up. If I don't have a program that is right for you I will create one.
These programs consist of one on one sessions (either in person if you live in LA or via Skype, Gchat, iChat or we can do it how they did it pre 2006 and use the telephone (gasp!).
Email links to your project and give me a brief background on who you are and what you're looking to do to: scheduling [ at ] aristake.com
Up and Running
If you're an Artist who doesn't have the time or desire to lay your foundation for your new project, new album or your existing project that has not quite entered 2012 let alone 2013, I can help you with that. I will do most of the grunt work and will get all your social media sites up to 2013 standards, work with my network of graphic design artists and publicists to create you a new logo and write a bio/press release and step you through the best way to keep your fans engaged and how to make new ones. If you're about to launch an album, music video, tour, Kickstarter or other major project I can work with you on putting together a cohesive campaign that rivals major label acts.
I will also create a .com website that you own. It will be designed in a way that you can easily update it (drag and drop style). I will also train on you on everything that I do so you can keep it moving in the future.
Manager For A Month (or two)
I've created this Manager for a Month program stemmed from my Up and Running program because that's kind of what it turned into from the bands that I worked with.
Basically, I will take on your project (ONLY IF I LIKE IT AND SEE POTENTIAL...sorry I can't work with shitty bands) and help you completely revamp your image, social presence, website (yes I'll create a new full website for you), create a new logo, work with photographers and videographers on your new direction. Basically when we finish you will have a tightly put together package launched online, on stage and in print that represents the new "you" and (most importantly) you'll have a strong handle on how to move forward.
I'm not genre biased. I've worked with heavy metal, hardcore, hip hop, blues, acoustic, jam, and soul acts. If you're solid in what you do, I'll recognize it.
Throughout our time together I will act as your manager and we will chat on a regular basis brainstorming ways to get you to the next level (and eventual world domination). I will coach you the best ways to use social media, how to effectively network in person, get songs placed on TV, get opening slots, book a tour, on and on and on. I'll also put everything in perspective for you (and explain why you don't want to sign to a major label. If you do right now... we REALLY need to work together).
I won't judge you based on the package you have online right now, just your music and your potential. My job is to enhance and build that package.

Bring Me To You
I have presented and performed at colleges, high schools, conferences, festivals and other various events. If you'd like to hire me as a guest speaker to present for your organization contact scheduling [ at ] aristake.com to discuss opportunities.
The One Off
If you have something pressing and you just need quick advice we can schedule a one off meeting. I highly recommend working through the Consulting Program as it is much more involved and you'll get a better handle on every avenue, however, if something has come up and you need advice RIGHT NOW I get it. Email me with what you need and we'll plan an emergency one off session.
