Part Five
This the fifth of ten tips and chips I plan to impart for any interested listeners, starting out on his/her journey to work in the music industry. There are a lot of people providing access to joints that help to build your skills, and most do a great job. My goal there is not to try and compete them. I will stay in my lane. From time to time, I might suggest and recommend others, these tips and chips are aimed at your mindset, and behaviors that will either make you or break you. Whether you aspire to be a songwriter, an artist, a musician, and or producer, these tips and chips apply:
Some Chips To Dip Into:
1. You got to put in the time.
2. You can only do two or three things very well, so focus.
3. Once you are focused, decide on what value you offer to others.
4. Determine how you fit in.
5. Determine how you can market what you offer. (See Below)
6. Develop a marketing strategy.
7. Provide quality service or products.
8. Follow up and communicate with your customers.
9. Always try to anticipate what your customers, followers, or clients need.
10. Keep trying, you can always do it better.
DETERMINE HOW YOU CAN MARKET WHAT YOU OFFER
If you have accomplished the first four tips, you should be well on your way to realize our career goals. However, now that you have, what do you do next, and how do you market what you offer? Again, there are caveats to this tip which is related to what your career goals are, what role you decide to pursue in the music industry, and your overall skillset. So again, let’s hypothetically choose the role of a songwriter, but let’s also assume you are a singer.
