We all know some classic sentences arguing that investing on your own career is a must :"it takes money to make money" is maybe the one who sounds the most true to me. Indeed, if you aim a benefit from your music activity, you have to think as a profesional. And a profesional does investments on critical aspect of his business.
But it’s not about huge amounts, it’s about little things that help you to fix big details.
Here is a list of 10 things i’ve already paid for in my music career, that were very usefull, so that I considered as investments.
- Buy a .com domain : with only $15 a year, your name is well foundable on google, and looks profesional.
- A responsive layout for your website is a must : it helps your visitors feel comfortable and spend more time on your pages.
- Not everybody is a GFX genius. For a few bucks, you could get a clean logo and / or nice needed artwork. Fiverrcould help you on this one.
- Better drums for better placements is the !llmind’s blap kits motto. I tried. It works.
- Getting exposure is a hard business to deal with. Independent profesionals do it well and can adapt their solutions to your budget.
- You put some money and a lot of time in recording your next album ? It’s time to put the final touch with an efficient consulting talk with a music marketer.
This list could be longer. You got other feedbacks ? Feel free to comment and share the knowledge !
