The music industry has been historically tough on the struggling musician. But with advent of the internet, mp3's, cost-friendly cameras and social media, a person can share with hundreds or thousands of people in no time.
Unfortunately, many undiscovered artist tend spend the majority of their time online spamming links to people whom have no connections to share, nor money to spend, instead of spending the majority of time producing a marketable, quality product to sell.
But how does a musician stay on top of making quality music, making the best use of social media, and doing both well? From what I remember of my short lived musical pursuit, it's not very likely with out help. In a future blog I will get into some ways to effectively use social media for more than just link posting and shouting "follow me".
I guess this post is a mere suggestion to the talented yet undiscovered artists out there: find help maintaining your social media presence, and stay focused on what musicians love: MAKING GOOD MUSIC. (ok and partying too)
As usual, I've added a little bit of cheesiness to visualize the point. Enjoy.
