Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida | P.O. Box 310038, Miami, FL 33231 If you are looking for ways to make more money with your music dig in! There are three key components to increase your income as a musician. As the head of a music PR firm, I have the pleasure of speaking to a lot of artists who are looking to earn more money with their music. Most call me inquiring about PR wrongly thinking that getting more music blog exposure will be a path to a sustainable living.  They are sadly mistaken.  PR has its place and absolutely has many benefits, The longer I do this work the more convinced I am that artists should save their money on PR campaigns and invest in strategies that will help them to earn money. The most effective way do this is with a long-term marketing plan, which outlines a full overview of the entire landscape and then drills down into the short and long-term goals which are unique for every artist. Smart businesses always start with plans.  Writing a business plan is the only way any business has a roadmap or a chance at investment or monetization. And sadly I rarely meet artists who have taken the time to put together a full-scale plan. This is a three-part article focuses on one of the many components we address in our marketing plans.  which we now call Total Tuneups. Part 1 - Increase Your Fan Base Studies have proven that it is much harder to make a new client and get them to purchase something than it is to get a client that already knows and trusts you to purchase from you over and over. In this post, I will help you to stop wasting time on Facebook ads and tweeting till your fingers go numb and adding more filters to Instagram and focus on the thing that is 40 times more effective.   Part 2 - Multiply Purchase Frequency   This is all about how to assess what your fans might actually want to purchase and gives you inspiration on what to order to make your fans frequent customers. Part 3 - Sustainable Strategies Focuses on 3 key Sustainable Strategies – Pre-Sale, Ongoing, or Crowdfunding. This post explains that experiences are the foundational element for each and you can choose whichever resonates for you  Want to start organizing all of your music marketing?
