The Written Word Works With Tim Martin
After 20 years working in corporate, Tim Martin decided to run away and do some real work. With an obsession for music and a passion for helping unsigned artists understand how to market their music, Tim has been a published author in the music press for some time. Realising this same skill could help other businesses, Tim set to work expanding his business to help all business owners with their written words for marketing and set about to prove The Written Word Works!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Tim has a lot of friends making music and with the likes of Spotify not paying smaller artists very well they’re struggling to make money. Tim decided to lend his marketing skills to help artists who had lost income during the pandemic when no gigs were on.
- Tim believes that there will always be a want for physical media. Think about how long ago the Kindle came out, they haven't stopped printing books since then. There’s a resurgence in vinyl collecting, and you can still walk down the highstreet and buy a CD.
- Tim’s advice is that if you don’t set off after your passion, you’ll never do it. If you’re really passionate you’ll be able to find the time to make the commitment’
- People skills are the most important when it comes to selling and marketing someone. You need to understand who they are, what they’re about, get to the core of why the audience should care.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’ve all had to use our skills to look for alternative ways to make money’
‘Fundamentally, I do it to put dog food on the table’
‘The human race loves to have a passion and interest in something’
‘People buy from people’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Tim Martin: “I have lived in Clevedon for over 25 years (not always in a shed), and been in business for nearly 6 years (always in a shed). After 20 years working for a couple of large family firms, I found myself in a huge corporation, at which time I decided to run away and do some real work.
When I’m not working, music is my main interest (or obsession according to some), archaeology (armchair), & old cars. Sports? Cycling and Cricket, but not Football or Rugby. I do books and films, not bothered by T.V. prefer radio. I buy too many magazines.”
