July 19, 2021Investing in Your Music Career with Dan Tsurif and Eyal Levi
Social media, paid engagement, buy-ons, video content, paid mentorship: where modern marketing elements such as these fit into a music or production career and when to incorporate them are always at the top of the list of questions people ask. They’re also at the top of the list of things people tend to get wrong, and getting them wrong can be a waste of money and derail a career. If you want to know how to get them right then you’re definitely going to want to pay attention to what we’ve got to say on this episode.

‘Buying success’, having the resources to open doors
Paying for advice from successful people as a useful resource
Talking numbers on views/likes and when it’s time to invest in a project
