Stand out from the millions of artists that aren't taking care of the marketing side of creating music. Don't be that artist that miss out on opportunities. Be the artist that is always looking for new doors to open. Publish it, copyright it, and then shop it. Refer back to episode #3: The Power of The Split Sheet.

Music release and tour planning is all apart of the plan. Make lead time to plan ahead in the market. Opportunity cost is all factor when creating a product.

It's important to understand how consumers behave towards the music market. From purchasing music digitally or physically, to the spending power of ticket sales and merchandise, are all factors that need to be measure to find trends. In which leaves possibilities of outlining new niche markets and potential fans. In this episode, I went around Columbia College Chicago campus and ask some students basic questions such as; How do they consume music (physically or digitally)? How much are they willing to pay for an album? Other then looking at reports from music service companies such as RIAA http://www.riaa.com/ and Nielsen SoundScan http://www.nielsen.com/ I wanted to hear directly from the consumers of music. My purpose is to share music consumers responses in order for artists to use the information in their marketing plans. Also to raise awareness of how it's important to have marketing plan behind their business as being the artist and the brand.

Branding Yourself Professionally

The importance of branding yourself professionally to attract the right network of people in the industry. Keeping your music portfolio sharp and tasteful is not the only thing that matters as an independent artist. Other factors in the journey to success. 1. Find key people in your industry and Follow up with them. 2. Be a brand of your word. Your word is bond. 3. Stay professional - Show people you are serious about your career and that you are interested in them and what they have to offer. 4. Be on time for meetings or call if running late. Always show up. Time is Money. 5. Always be looking for opportunity to brand yourself in the most effective way as possible. The Product, then the hands shake, with a follow up call sometime does the trick. But being consistent is branding. 6. Measure the out come. See who is showing you the most attention. Highlight these key people. Never no, they could be apart of your street team for your next music campaign. "Like" and join the show. http://www.facebook.com/TheToineTracksShow
