Do you want to get even more value out of this space? Are you ready to focus and accelerate toward the trajectory you are taking things as an artist? Are you still determining what you're aiming at, or perhaps calibrating your approach? Are you trying to eventually work with good folks in the industry like the brothers and sisters here? Do you really want to know what it's like to work with a professional, so that when you receive the invite, or better yet, seek the invite, you can communicate how both yall will win? I've got the secret. I'll tell you at the end, so you can go down there. Or, take your time, trust the process, feel free to read on. Tonight i had the opportunity to speak with @Jacorey Barkley and @Jocelyn Calvillo after I emailed them yesterday night when posting my Out Of Office message. They are excited about what’s going on in this space, and encouraged me and @K.p. Bolden to continue our efforts to provide what we have been learning from them to you. Sometimes it’s just right place, right time. Who you know and how you flow. You’re in the right place. Now is the right time. Here’s your invitation.

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube are amazing platforms where you can build up fanbases using amazing tools that these companies have spent millions developing. The only thing is that these platforms don't belong to you. You have an account with them but the platform and all the data they collect belongs to them. At any point any one of these platforms can take your content down or, even worse, your whole account. This would leave you having to start from scratch to build up the audience that you've worked so hard to build. Whats ONE common piece of info ALL of these websites collect about all of their users, besides a First Name? THEIR EMAIL! As an independent artist, it's important to collect your fans' Names and Email addresses and compile them in some format that is easy to import into a CRM (Customer Relations Management) Software. The easiest way i've found is to use an Excel or Google Sheets document to keep the list organised. When you own your own list, you have a lot of opportunities that you can then take advantage of: 1) You can do email blasts for new releases and immediately have a good portion of the list check out your song. Usually for email marketing, 30% open rates are the average. So if you have 1000 emails, immediately you could havre 300 views on any new release that you send out. 2) You can sell products or services, either of your own or as an affiliate. The same principle applies from point 1. You can have a certain number of persons buy a product as soon as you launch it. If you have 1000 emails and a 30% open rate, then you have a 10% conversion rate; that means that if you sent out an email blast for a product worth $20, then you could make $600 in sales from one email blast! 3) You can continue to collect information on your audience by sending out questionnaires and surveys, where you incentivise your fans to provide info like their location, other artists they like and whether they attend live concerts or not. This can help you plan tours and help you understand who you need to be targeting in your paid marketing campaigns.

What is your biggest limiting belief as an artist, manager, music marketer, etc? And what do you do to combat that belief in order to keep pushing forward?

I just stumbled upon a great targeting tool that links with your FB business account for ads called Leadenforce basically lets you steal others followers/audiences. So for example say your music is similar to Drakes you would go to his Facebook page, copy the URL and paste it into Leadenforce end it will copy his audience and you can use that audience to run your ads to.
