"Applying many of Bob's ideas, and without any wholesaling
or distribution, I sold more than 20,000 CDs and cassettes of my music over the last five years. Using his suggestions, I
increased my fan base by 35% in just one year. Pretty good for a non-performing artist who does all studio work. Bob is the
