Episode 46
Greetings and thanks for joining me on this podcast!
Being a musician and trying to get your music heard can sometimes be a frustrating road. There is a lot of competition out there and it seems like there are less and less venues to perform at and less people paying attention.
On top of that, music itself just isn’t selling anymore. All of which can lead to frustration. Sometimes it’s easy to catch ourselves taking it out on the one people we rely on to support us…
The fans.
“Support Local Music!”, “Don’t Steal Our Music”, “Support The Artist!”.
These are all battle cries of artists in a changing industry. But the reality is if we relay this message in the wrong way, we can slowly turn off the people who support us and make it easy for them to gravitate elsewhere.
In This Podcast You Will Learn:
1). How the current landscape of the music industry today (lack of sales etc.) can cause frustration for artists and cause us to lash out unknowingly towards innocent fan bases.
2). The kinds of messages we may be unknowingly broadcasting that can turn fans off to you as an artist. the kind of negative messaging we should avoid.
3). Why it’s still important to work on gaining new fans even if they never pay you a cent for your music and how you can leverage a growing “audience” online and at your shows to generate income down the road.
4). Why making your fans feel appreciated and attracting new ones with positive messaging will make the biggest difference between growing an attentive audience or alienating and struggling to find loyal fans.
5). A few tips on how you can build trust and gain relationships with your growing fan base and how to give them more than what they ask for even when they’ve given you no money. And that’s OK!

Thanks again for joining me on this episode. As artists navigating our way through an evolving industry it can be very frustrating when things don’t seem to be working the way they used to.
However, the one thing we need to keep in mind is to not take it out on the fans. When one door seems to be closing, a new one always opens. And if you tell your story and bring your fans along with you, they’ll stick with you and feel appreciated.
I hope you found some insight in the episode, as always I’d love to hear your feedback as well.
Till the next episode!
