The 10 Things I Wished I Knew Before I Turned Down A Record Label
The 10 Things I Wished I Knew Before I Turned Down A Record Label
SonicAllies.com Launch Heads-Up
It’s no secret.
The old music industry is gone...and it's a New Music Industry Now! But, so many musicians wonder...
How do you start?…
Who do you have to show you....to mentor/coach you???…
Marketing is getting more sophisticated…
Many musicians think we all need to be Snapchatting and Instagramming all day without ever trying to sell anything…
They claim that we can “guilt people into buying” by just giving… and giving… and giving some more…
You can’t just throw up a webpage, sell stuff to your friends and family...and possibly, buy some adwords traffic and expect to be driving a Lamborghini within a couple months anymore…
(In fact, it never really worked that way…)
But at the same time… you don’t need to over-complicate it and get lost in the "bright shiny object syndrome" that will just confuse you and your potential new fans.
No. What you need now is the same thing you’ve always needed…
A solid foundation.
The right offer, presented to the right people, in the right delivery method will give you the ability to create cash “on demand” over and over again.
And how can you find that offer, those people, and the right delivery method?
Well, there are two paths.
First, you can try to do it alone… “follow your passion” and just “do what feels right”... and in about 6 months, chances are pretty good you’ll be right where you started.
The second path is smarter.
Find someone else who has done what you want to do, and use their “framework” as your model.
That way you’re building your music career on a solid foundation, and you’ll be much more likely to succeed.
Now you probably have lots of questions…
“Where do I find someone to model?”
“Will this work for my music?”
“What about the tech stuff?”
Well, I'm hoping that you saw the HUGE VALUE in the Perfect Music Marketing Blue Print "BLACK PACK"...which will answer all of those questions!
If you haven't moved forward yet....this bundle offer is time sensitive, and if you wait too long then you might miss out.
So, just if you haven't completed your "BLACK PACK" yet....hop on sonicallies.com , and be part of the Sonic Allies-Wise Musician Club!
