Gab & Jam Episode 114 Two Critical Activities For The D.I.Y. Rock Star Podcast

Gab & Jam Episode 114 Two Critical Activities for the D.I.Y. Rock Star Description While it is tempting to sit in your comfortable/cozy space and simply create your art, it is actually counter-productive to achieving your goal of building your creative empire. What do we mean? Check out the discussion to find out. You MUST commit to a regular practice of both creating and promoting. –It’s not going to promote itself! –There’s this age-old question about whether a tree that falls in the forest that is NOT heard by anyone, if indeed it actually happened. With your music and with your desire to share the passion that you poured into it with someone other than your cat and your mom, you MUST commit to sharing it regularly. Here are some tips to make sure that you keep your commitment to yourself of doing BOTH creating and sharing. 1. Schedule a regular time for both (creating and promoting) 2. Have a social media presence established that interacts with people in general (as a friend) 3. Also have a social media presence established that showcases your art 4. Look for opportunities to share your art (Facebook groups, live shows, radio play, reviewers) 5. Celebrate ANY wins (social shares, comments, placements) 6. Stay persistent (no matter what) What do you think? Do you believe that it’s worth it to keep what you’ve created to yourself? If so, we’d love to hear your thinking.
