Music for Business
ByMusic for Business
Have you ever considered marketing your music for business purposes? I am speaking to those of you who are not exactly in the music business. I know that sometimes this is a touchy subject. After all it is not easy to consider your art for sale. But the advantage today is greater than it was 10 even 5 years ago. You don’t need to physically be everywhere with the presence of the internet.
At home moms who sing and have made their music for fun can now market themselves on the net and have just as much opportunity to make money online as an legendary artists does. That’s because the opportunities online are now on a even playing field. You may not make millions but you could create a strong customer base that pays you for your music and other items on a bi weekly and monthly basis. You can tell that part time and in some cases full time job where to go. LOL!
Another advantage in your favor is there is now more than ever an opportunity for you to build your own website. Domain registration is less than $10 US dollars. And domain hosting averages (for decent hosting with no problems) $20 US dollars a month.
Digital downloads now allow for you to sell your music online through a variety of sources. And you can do all of this while you sleep. Now I am not going to kid (nor con) you it does take some time and work. But in a few months you could be seeing a whole new world available to you.
What it takes to succeed is focus, knowledge, execution, repetition, and consistency. As well as a few other things we could show you at BIZ4DaSoul.
At this point I know some of you are thinking “well if it was this easy why don’t more artist succeed in the music industry online? Aren’t you just simplifying things?” Actually no I am not. I am saying it is easier than the previous challenges. In 2001 or earlier the average cost for hosting was $75 for the same hosting that is now available at $20 a month. Plus there is a sea of instructional information for almost challenge. Not to mention the Open Social movement (like Wordpress blogs) which has provided more ways for people to easily build their web presence and gain traffic from Google.
Have you ever seen the legendary Gene Kelly dance? I loved to watch him. Because he made dancing look easy. But there is a common knowledge that only people who strive for success understand. What may seem simple is a lot more difficult that you think. I am not saying that to discourage you but encourage you. Today’s difficulties when marketing your music for business can be solved quickly.
The opportunity is there. All you need is the courage to try.
BE encouraged and join a organization that cares about your success. BIZ4DaSoul is the only site of its kind that specifically focuses on teaching artists how to make money online with their music.
