Madalyn Sklar joined our inaugural #DMchat to talk about new social media tools for musicians.
For the January (and first!) edition of our Disc Makers Twitter chat (#DMchat), we asked Madalyn Sklar – social media coach, consultant, and founder of GoGirlsMusic.com – for her thoughts on new social media tools for musicians and relevant marketing tips. We prefaced this month’s chat with some initial pointers to get the conversation started, as well as a brief biography of Madalyn, which you can check out here.
