There are several opportunities next week to catch Why I FAILED concepts live as well as several new products/services on the horizon.
Why I FAILED Seminar – Tuesday, Oct. 11, Indie Connect’s Nashville location at 12:00 noon
Join me as I reveal why I failed in the music business and how NOT to follow in my footsteps in this engaging and informative hour long seminar. I’ll walk you through each of the 8 reasons why I failed to build a long-term, successful music career and the key insights I learned from 9 years in the “real world” of corporate America managing products and businesses worth well over $20 Million. As I always say, “business is business and the more you know about it, the more success you’ll find.”
Admission is $10.00 or $5.00 for indie connect members. More info at indieconnect.com.
4 Simple Rules for Musician Marketing – Tuesday, Oct. 11, Indie Connect at 7:00 PM
If you believe that marketing is way too complicated for you or that only businesses need to market themselves, this is the seminar for you.
In my 9 years in the “real world” of corporate America, I realized that Marketing can be explained by 4 simple rules and that EVERY musician needs a Marketing Plan. In this insightful and highly interactive workshop, I’ll take the mystery out of marketing – and sales – and help you develop your own personal plan to tell your story well.
Admission is $10.00 or $5.00 for indie connect members and will include a Musician Marketing Workbook. As above, you can find more info at indieconnect.com.
“Writers” in the Round
Carpe Artista is presenting a unique twist on the Nashville tradition of Writers in the Round with an Authors in the Round event at Murfreesboro’s excellent coffee shop, Jozoara’s. It will be an evening with a group of 4 local authors, including me, who have recently published new books.
The other three are:
- J.E. Lowder – “TEARS OF MIN BROCK” genre, fantasy. this book was in the top 50 on Amazon after just 2 weeks.
- Paula K. Parker- “YHWH: THE FLOOD THE FISH & THE GIANT”
- Mike Parker and Paula K. Parker- “SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION”
We’ll read a bit from our books, share our journeys and the creative process and answer questions from the audience. There will be special book pricing for this event and Give Away Drawings too!
New Stuff
I’m also excited about new products and services that I’ll be introducing soon.
- Audio and video of my story, insights and teaching.
- A free E-book (probably) entitled Why You’re Failing at Music and Quick Tips to Turn It Around.
- My second book, Why I FAILED in the Creative Arts and How NOT to Follow in My Footsteps (same content for non-musical creatives)
- Audio Book versions of both
I’ll also be speaking out more around Nashville in various formats and looking into expanding to the web.
If you have additional ideas, thoughts, questions, suggestions or wants, lemme know in the comments.
