Let me ask you a question...
What do you get when you have a person with stellar mixing skills but no knowledge about marketing, networking, and promoting themselves?
You have an unknown producer with great songs nobody's heard of.
Now, let's flip it around...
What do you get when you have a person with zero music production and mixing skills but incredible marketing skills?
You have an annoying influencer with songs that suck.
Now, if you put those two things together:
- Stellar mixing skills
- Incredible marketing and promotion skills
And you get a skilled music producer destined for success.
If you want to make it in the modern music industry, you're going to need both.
There's no way around it.
People expect high-quality music in their headphones.
If your song sounds bad there are millions of other songs to listen to.
People will skip it and you'll stay overlooked and passed over.
And if you're ever going to get anybody to actually listen to your songs in the first place, you need to know how to find an audience.
Whether you're looking to build a fan base as an indie artist or get your music heard by gatekeepers like labels or music supervisors, you need self-promotion and marketing skills to succeed.
There's no way around that either.
That's why I've teamed up with my buddy Ryan Waczek from Indie Music Academy to bring you a killer workshop that teaches you the two-part equation to succeed in the modern music business.
Ryan Waczek has cracked the Spotify code for multiple artists, helping them get on Spotify's Fresh Finds, Poptronix, Release Radar, Discover Weekly, and 3rd-Party playlists. He started the Indie Music Academy to teach independent artists how to market their music the right way and I'm pumped to share the stage with him this Tuesday.
Here's what you'll learn during our workshop:
- How to make sure your song sounds as good as it possibly can...so you can confidently finish your mixes and proudly release your records.
- Learn the Fan Journey Formula for how to grow a fan base for your music, even if nobody's heard of you
- How to succeed in the modern music industry by developing diversified income streams that help you increase your income and turn your music hobby into a career.
Register for this one-time workshop right here.
Have a great weekend,
Björgvin
P.S.
Do you know what the first part of success is? It's showing up for it and putting in the time to make yourself into the person you want to be.
If you don't show up nothing will ever change. If you're unhappy with how your music is sounding or succeeding, doing nothing will keep it that way. But if you'd like to improve, showing up is the easiest part.
Hope to see you on Tuesday...here's the link again to register:
