It's time to stop thinking you have to do this alone.

Sometimes we all need a team, a coach, a mentor. It's just hard to admit it, and even then it can be hard to know what KIND of help to seek out.

We get it.

That's why this blog / video is for you.

Here are 3 types of teams to consider if you're stuck and what to expect from each for your #musicbusiness.

Marketing your music and building your music brand are just like building muscle.

Was one of your New Year's Resolutions to get "in shape"? If so, what was one of the first things you thought about? Did you start looking for a Gym membership or a 1 on 1 like a Personal trainer?.

• In that example, the gym membership is going to be less expensive, but it's going to be something you (pretty much) are doing on your own (DIY).
• Whereas the 1 on 1 personal trainer? Yeh, that's more of a premium level type service that will cost more, but now you've got someone guiding you and holding you accountable.

So when you're looking to...

Going live is NOT going away.

In fact, now that the "Great Lockdown Livestream Era" has calmed down, now just might be the BEST time to launch your livestream.

It's a proven fact that it's one of the best ways to connect with an audience just short of an actual in-person show. The benefit of going live of course is the low overhead cost. You really just need wifi and a reason and you're good to go.

You're just one idea away from launching an engaging experience for your fans that allows them to support you. You just have to start.

Want to see why NOW is probably the BEST time to start your recurring livestream?

Check out this video interview with Dame Ritter of Music Entrepreneur Club / BeatStars.

Dame asked some great questions that we cover in the video like...

• What's the best use of livestreaming as a new artist?
• Is it important to go live at the same day or time?

Spotify officially releases their BETA for Songwriter pages. This is a new way for creatives to showcase their works even if they aren't releasing it on their Artist pages.

A New Era for Songwriters 

I truly believe that this is the beginning of the uprising of songwriters. Just as Producers have recently come out of the shadows and presented themselves as their own artists, ( DJ Khaled, Dr. Dre, etc), the same might start to happen for songwriters.

This new platform on Spotify will allow songwriters who aren't artists an opportunity to create real-estate on Spotify. This will grow credibility and hopefully a fanbase.

Any artist who is also a songwriter should absolutely apply for one of these pages!

You can showcase your recent collaborations

Spotify will create a "Written By" playlist!
