Do you want to make a living from your music? In this video, we share a 30-day plan that helps you build a strong music brand. This plan is a simple guide to help you make more money from your music by getting people to care about you and your songs.
Getting Ready
Before you start, you need a few things. You should have at least one song ready to go. You also need a smartphone, good internet, and a YouTube channel. This plan is not a set of rules. It is a guide that you can change to fit your own style [02:06]. A key part of the plan is to focus on just one place to share your long videos, like YouTube, so you can do a great job there instead of a small job everywhere [03:31].
Your 30-Day Plan
Days 1-5: The First Week On day one, you will check your music. Look at which songs your fans like the most and see what they have to say about them [04:15]. Then, from days 2 to 4, you will make a lot of new things. You can make short videos that are based on your most liked song. You can also make a video with just the words to the song or a video with a cool moving picture. On day 5, you will get everything ready to be posted over the next 30 days [19:18].
Days 6-20: Two Weeks of Action On days 6 through 10, you should talk to your fans. You need to answer their comments and messages. This helps you build a real friendship with them [21:02]. From days 11 to 20, you will make more videos. This time, you will make long videos that are not just about your music. This can be a video where you talk to people or show them what you do in a normal day. We say you should think of your brand in three ways: your music, who you are as a person, and your other interests [24:44].
Days 21-30: Two Weeks of Learning The last 10 days are for learning. You should look at what other people are doing to get ideas. You should also look at your own numbers to see what worked well for you [42:13]. See if your videos are making people listen to your music on places like Spotify. This will help you get ready to start the plan all over again.
Summary
This 30-day plan is a great way to grow your music career. It is all about making things, talking to your fans, and learning what works. By following this plan, you can turn your music into a business that makes you money.
