You get more fans when you become a part of their self interest.
So what makes you in someone else’s self interest?
***If you’re stuck, consider the reverse…Your current fans are your fans because you are serving their self interest (whether you realize that or not).

You usually write three minute songs.
What if you wrote a song that was only ninety seconds long…what would that sound like coming from you?
What about an eight minute song? How does someone like you make something like that?
The outcomes can help but be different than what you’re use to.
Making it a lot shorter or a lot longer doesn’t require you to learn new skills it just requires you to use your skills differently.
***The new Jerry Seinfeld special is up on Netflix- 23 Hours To Kill. That is an amazing title, low hanging fruit, it’s so obvious it hurts, should have been an album title or the name of the next Guns N Roses tour. But of course Jerry thought of it.

First Monday of the month, New Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple.
The tag line I use for the playlist is ‘Best of the fresh, best of the best’.
Part of how I put together the playlist each month is to let the new fresh songs dictate whatever older songs I get to include.
Well the fresh songs allowed for some pretty solid callbacks this time around…even a song by yours truly with my old band The Kicks.
And if you smile when you see the name Owsley…smile… he’s on there too.
Make a playlist on a regular basis. It’s fun, free and you’ll learn a lot.

Would you have had the guts and intuition to sign The Beatles…or would you have been one of the smart, employed, reputable, experienced, trusted record execs who turned them down?
Do you wait for other toes to tap to the music before you’ll tap your own?
Do you only take the risks that you know will work out?
Most of us would have passed on The Beatles.
Oh you would have signed them?
Prove it.

Publishing
Master
Live performance
Merchandise
These are the four primary pillars of revenue for an artist. If these are strong, all the other revenue streams will flow through them and because of them.
Pay attention to what is going on within the four pillars.

It’s hard to make new fans when the people who aren’t your fans aren’t looking to become new fans of anything.
Familiarity feels less risky than new.
So if you take ‘getting new fans’ off the table, you’re left with the fans you have.
Play to your fans. Make things for them. It’s what you should have been doing all along anyway.
Current events have simply stripped away the other options and left you with the best option.
