@dannyrakow: when the music is that good, it becomes the marketer. the marketing becomes so much easier. #fyp #marketingtips #musicindustry #musicbusiness

emmaaaa :

from the perspective of an artist manager, get one. Even if they only do small tasks like booking or social media, you don’t realize how much time you’re putting into those things until you stop doing them. My artist has been doing so well since signing because she’s ONLY writing and rehearsing a band, but she’s still posting regularly and marketing bc I’m doing it for her

d a r i :

my songs slap so idk bout that

mmtthias_ :

Mediocre artists with great marketing do make it tho

Stevie B :

It still has to be pushed no matter how good it is

kurtbag :

okay but can you tell Randy its time to drop some thing?! anythinggg

LYNGAR :

The craft part is the part nobody wants to hear. 👊🏼

Alexandra Divine :

I agree with this take. Thank you. Who cares about wasting time on marketing if the craft isn’t mastered

MixedbyTylerBraddock :

So true man this is great advice. Some artists think they can just skip the 10k hours. That combo btwn 10k hours and then great marketing is how it’s done

Yeah - two labels later they care about followers. So yeah, unfortunately you have to market yourself as well as put the work in.

Suzanna Dee :

Completely agree with you!!! I’ve stopped bothering with it all, dip in very rarely on social media, so thanks for confirming this 🙏
