I often get asked about the tools I use to run Audio Issues so today I wanted to share my most important ones.

If you're a musician, producer, or audio engineer who wants to get noticed online, earn an income or attract fans, here are some important tools you'll need to succeed.

Digital Downloads

Sendowl is an affordable option for selling digital products like sample packs, beats, software presets or other digital downloads. It's what I use to sell the Audio Issues EQ.

Course Management

Kajabi is a a little more expensive but it's a all-in-one online solution that comes with a website, email marketing software, landing page creators, and course management software. 

It's where I host the Step By Step Mixing bundle and my Audio Issues Academy resources.

Invoicing

Wave Apps is a free invoicing software if you're just a freelancer who needs to send out the occasional invoice to clients. (Not to be confused with the Waves plug-ins company that everyone seems to love to hate these days).

Email marketing

I think email marketing is one of the most important channels to communicate with your audience so you'll need something like Mailchimp to send emails to your subscribers. I use Aweber, but if you're starting out, Mailchimp is still probably your best bet.

Payment Processing

Then you'll need PayPal and Stripe account in order to collect payments. Don't skip this part. All the tools above are pointless if you can't process payments.

And that should be enough to get anyone started who wants to transform their audio hobby into a proper business online.

I hope that helps!
