Guerrilla music basic training series; the secret to musical success

The secret to musical success

The problem with people living dead-end lives is that they think dead-end thoughts. People who enjoy successful lives think successful thoughts – and then reinforce those thoughts with positive action.

One music business expert comments;

Once I realised this simple but powerful truth, I started directing my thoughts in more productive ways. And the actions followed quite naturally. No doubt, I’ve stumbled many times on my journey through life and the music business (and I continue to), but the rewards have been many. And they keep growing every year.

Bottom line: Thoughts are things. What starts as an intangible concept grows into a reality as a result of mental focus combined with real-life activity. In fact, this is exactly how all songs are created.

So I ask you: What thoughts do you have about your present and future as an independent musician? And what actions are materialising as a result?

The Guerrilla Music Marketing series will help you sort out the answers, open your mind to the infinite possibilities around you, and motivate you to take the steps necessary to climb higher up the ladder of success with your music.

The “Guerrilla Music Basic Training” gives you a good foundation for the information contained throughout the subsequent series to follow. Other than that, once finished, feel free to examine the sections and articles that relate to whatever marketing or music career topic you want to focus on at the time.

Warning: while I’ve gone to great lengths to load up this book with creative marketing tactics and techniques, I encourage you not to get so consumed by the tactical details that you lose sight of the big picture: making great music and sharing it with a growing number of fans. It’s not the website, media exposure, or CD cover art that’s most important. What’s most essential is how those things help you connect with more fans in a meaningful way.

I’m grateful that you’re allowing me to share these ideas with you. I sincerely hope you soak up the tips revealed in these articles and put them to good use. I look forward to one day hearing about your far-reaching musical achievements.

Much success to you. Now get out there and promote yourself!
