TENNESSEE MUSIC TEACHER TUNED-UP FOR CONTINUED DOTCOM SUCCESS
KNOXVILLE, TN -- (PRnetwire) -- AUG. 1, 2001 -- aBoutHarp.com e-tailer and company founder "Blue Barry" Faust is gearing up for a second year of Internet marketing success with his popular harmonica instructional package "aBoutHarp Presents: Beginner Blues Harmonica." As both high school teacher and musician, Blue's goal is to share harmonica instruction with students from all walks of life and from many diverse cultures. Web-based retailing is making it possible to achieve that goal despite gloomy internet forecasts.
"Yeah, everybody's crying the blues about the 'dotcom shake-out' but we're just not seeing it" says Blue. "It's amazing how many people from all over the world are finding our product on the net and loving it."
The instruction package was orignally intended as a supplement for Blue's students to take home and reference after completing harmonica classes at local college and university workshops. With the advent of web-based retailing, the product was refined and made available exclusively on Blue's website: www.aBoutHarp.com.
The package consists of a 72 minute Audio CD and 21-page instruction booklet with an optional selection of harmonicas.
When asked about getting started just when many major internet companies were floundering, Blue commented, "You've got to have a good product and a clear vision of how that product can help lots of people. And then, well... you just gotta say, 'I believe I'll dust my broom' and ignore the naysayers and go forward with it. The Internet is here to stay; it's the way people are finding the things they want."
Blue partnered with one of his loyal harmonica students in May of 2000 to develop and promote the company website. Sales have come from as far away as Kosovo, Gibraltar, Brazil, Scotland, Germany, England, and from all over the United States and Canada.
