Music as a Full-Time Career: Key Strategies & Systems

Introduction

  • Money is crucial: To have a successful full-time music career, earning money is essential.
  • Attention = fan base: Success comes from having enough attention and a dedicated fan base.

Reality Check

  • Good music alone isn't enough: No successful career exists solely based on good music without marketing.
  • Record labels sign audiences: Major labels are more interested in an artist's audience than individual songs.

Path to Building a Fan Base

  1. Stranger to follower: Someone discovers your content.
  2. Follower to fan: They engage more deeply with your work.
  3. Fan to family/super fans: Cultivate a deep, loyal following.

Key Advice

  • Avoid burnout: Trying to handle everything can lead to burnout.
  • Focus on connections over metrics: Building connections is more important than just focusing on streams or follower counts.
