Stop Making Excuses - Start Making Progress with Your Music Career
#1 Best Seller in the Music Business category in February 2015! The purpose of this book is to give you a comprehensive list of bite-size marketing activities that can literally be done in five minutes or less. No kidding. Anyone - including YOU - can do this! Of course, you can spend more than five minutes on them if you want to. But if you're pressed for time, you now have at your fingertips a handy selection of simple marketing actions you can take. Use this book as a solution to that age-old complaint, "I don't have time to promote my music." Or as the antidote to the faulty rationale, "I'll focus on marketing when I have more time." Don't get sucked into the "no-time, bad-time" trap! Will five-minute activities really make a difference? Are they even worth doing? For me, the answer is a resounding YES! Engaging in these actions on a daily basis will create momentum. They will help develop new habits that will serve you well. In fact, I bet it won't take long at all before you start to see the benefits. You never know when an email you send, a photo you post online, or some simple step you take will lead to a new fan, live show, or exposure opportunity. But if you take no action and keep putting things off until some mystical time in the future ... the only thing you'll see is stagnation.
My promise to you ...
If you take consistent action, continue to move forward, and keep chipping away at it, you will see results! But you must do these things on a daily basis. With this book in your collection of marketing tools, there is no excuse to go days or weeks (or months or years) without doing something to make progress with your music career. Read through these lists of five-minute marketing actions. Highlight the ones that resonate with you. And whenever you have five minutes to spare, pick one and act on it!
