S2E09 - Selling Yourself as a Musician: The Mindset Shift That Helps You Make More Money

49 minutes

In this episode of The Full-Time Function Musician Podcast, I sit down with singer, DJ, event producer, and business coach Kerri Layton to discuss the reality of building a successful music career. We dive into:

🎤 How to market yourself without feeling sleazy

💰 The biggest mistakes musicians make when selling their services

📈 The secret to getting consistent bookings (hint: it’s all about follow-ups!)

🔥 Why balancing creativity and business is the key to long-term success

Kerri also shares her personal journey, from overcoming a vocal injury to running her own entertainment business and coaching musicians. If you're looking to book better gigs, charge what you're worth, and finally get off the feast-and-famine cycle, this episode is packed with actionable advice!
