A Plan to Focus on Fan Relationships. Ep. 24 - The Music Biz Weekly Podcast

September 09 2011, 12:10 PM

Filed in: Podcast

Today's podcast is all about the importance of fan relationships. Without fans, your music will simply fall on deaf ears and you'll have no chance of a career in music.

Michael Brandvold and I talk about the importance of having a long term plan and a band philosophy which everyone agrees with and which can be a unifying theme behind everything you do.

The idea for today's discussion popped up after seeing the following article on Hypebot. Check it out:
