Episode 53
Hello and thank you for swinging by this week’s episode!
For this podcast I wanted to go in a different direction than my usual “schpiel”.
Today is all about getting you motivated:)
Motivated to do more for your music. In today’s music space there are many things we are responsible for outside of writing and playing music.
To really build a fan base and sink our teeth into building a following we need to take on the roles of social media marketer, graphic designer, videographer, email marketer, web designer, audio engineer and much more!
Whew!
It can feel overwhelming. But I am here to tell you that it is all possible and there are artists doing all of these things autonomously today.
In This Podcast You Will Learn:
1). What it actually means when I say that we need to do “more” to be seen and heard as artists in today’s modern music landscape.
2). A quick back story into how I realized that becoming autonomous and learning new skills to promote my work through creating own content (video, audio, graphics etc) has made the biggest difference for me as an artist.
3). How we are now the “Learn & Do” generation with unlimited resources available to us to learn and figure out how to do just about anything and why that’s important for musicians.
4). Why defining your goals and where you want to be in a year will help get you started with building a plan to get more done for your music.
5). What it means to have an actual “audience” and how doing more around your music will help build up this layer of people who pay attention to you and your music.
6). Understanding that you won’t be good at creating content and marketing yourself to begin with but over time with continued work. you will get better and slowly find what works for you and your audience.

Thank you again for checking out this week’s episode. I really hope you find what I talk about here not only useful but motivational.
The world is a DIY (Do It Yourself) place and that definitely includes musicians and artists. There is nothing stopping you from creating the reality you want to see with your music. It just takes patience, an open mind, and work.
Much like most things that are worth it.
Til next time, peace n love!
Mike
