+5 Reasons Why You Should Invest in Your Music

"It's time to stop thinking you have to do this alone.

Sometimes we all need a team, a coach, a mentor. It's just hard to admit it, and even then it can be hard to know what KIND of help to seek out.

We get it.

That's why this blog / video is for you.

Here are 3 types of teams to consider if you're stuck and what to expect from each for your #musicbusiness.

Marketing your music and building your music brand are just like building muscle.

Was one of your New Year's Resolutions to get "in shape"? If so, what was one of the first things you thought about? Did you start looking for a Gym membership or a 1 on 1 like a Personal trainer?.

• In that example, the gym membership is going to be less expensive, but it's going to be something you (pretty much) are doing on your own (DIY).
• Whereas the 1 on 1 personal trainer? Yeh, that's more of a premium level type service that will cost more, but now you've got someone guiding you and holding you accountable.
  

So when you're looking to hire a music team, or a manager, or coach, or even take a course --- are you wanting a #premiumservice but only able to do a DIY budget?

In this video, Evan breaks down the 3 types of help you can hire to help you reach your goals and why knowing the difference can save you time AND money.
