This blog’s purpose is to help out up and coming musicians make a living off of their music. I am here to help and link songwriters, artist, producers, who may never knew how to do it or ones who want to make a living off doing what they are passionate about. I will also be showing the musical community some of the good things and bad things I have ran into in the past 15 years of my music background. Aside our passion as artist/producers, we also need to have integrity, be optimistic, be assertive when dealing with others, and know how to listen in any business sense, so that we may learn.
The target audience I am trying to reach out to is the music community. When I say the music community I mean even the peers and family members of the artist. Any info from this blog may be helpful to anyone that makes music, who knows a local artist or just interested in pursuing music, and making a living off of it in any fashion. Educate yourself and learn the music theory side, and the business and marketing aspect as well. This isn’t for just one genre of music, and I would suggest this channel: Live off Beats for any musician, wanting to make a living off of music.

Blogs serves well in marketing, as I have learned at Full Sail University, and companies really are geared toward, looking into blogs, as a means of new ideas, network, and even to invest. We need to know what is going on around us, what things we can take in and use to improve what we do or simply be informed. Do not be steered away at the term marketing, it happens in every business and profession, and it can help you the artist, expand your audience, and network base. The world has become more linked and global business can be really profitable. We as artist now have the tools to live off of web based sales, that doesn’t mean do not press CD’s no more or don’t do shows, still keep those so people can be close to us, however digital sales are just as useful, and we can tap into new areas that we may have not toured to yet. If someone misses a show, we could easily use social networks such as: YouYube, Facebook, Twitter, Stickam, Reverb Nation, Sound Cloud, Sound Click, Daily Motion, Photobucket, Myspace, and any other network to bring our fans toward us, and also may just be seen by the industry or potential marketers to help us out.
