Who's On Your Team????
Who's On Your Music Career Team?
You’ve got hot traxx, and you’re starting to get some serious buzz. But you’ve also got a website to maintain, gigs to book, and what about music sales, licensing, and about a million other things.
No one expects you to do it all yourself, but how do you find and manage a team that’ll keep your eyes on the prize?
1. First things first, get organized!
The fastest route to chaos is not knowing where and how your business is set up. Keep track of expenses, sales, gigs, merch, and all the other assorted things that make up your musical career. There are all kinds of online services to help with this, but you can get started with just a pencil and a notebook. You’ll never know how much money you’ve made if you can’t track how much you’ve spent.
2. Find a manager.
Seems obvious, right? Managers manage stuff, and you’ve got a lot of stuff going on. The right manager is invested in your success, has the skills to do the job, and has the necessary drive and connections to advance your career. S/he should work as hard as you and deserves to benefit from your mutual success. Most managers are paid by a commission on what you earn. If they’re doing their job correctly, they’ll only make money when you are. Managers often work under a mutually agreed to contract of services (you’ll do this, they’ll do that …), so make sure you agree to what in a contract before signing it. Whenever possible, have an entertainment lawyer look it over and offer suggestions.
3. Enlist your fans.
Your fans are some of your biggest supporters. The opportunity to gain access to you is motivation enough to be part of your team. Since they’re already huge advocates, your fans are great street teams members, review writers, and network builders. Treat them well, and they’ll do almost anything to help advance your career.
4. Market early and often.
Much of your activities involve marketing. From newsletters to Facebook, and beyond, you’re constantly presenting and promoting your career. Keep the conversation going, create compelling offers, and engage with fans and supporters. Along the way, measure the effectiveness of what you’re doing. Don’t spend time on programs or campaigns that aren’t driving results. Measure, adjust, and move forward. Then measure again.
