excuse the irony

I came into this year with some formative notions about how to make my music matter to me and to others. To others, in fact, to such an extent that they might be persuaded to support what I do financially. To this end I looked into some of the webinars and advice from interested parties out there, who usually wanted me to sign up for something and pay them cash. Now I make that sound like a bad thing don’t I? Why should I they are just trying to make money like I want to.
Need to grow up and smell the napalm. It’s not a sin to make money from your music. OK I’m never going to be the next big (or even little) thing, but perhaps, there is a market out there for what I do. So I aimed to set myself up on Patreon, Bandcamp, Kickstarter, Bandcamp, spotify, and youtube as well as facebook and get a website on weebly.
The idea is to build a fan-base of sorts so that I may confidently market my music. Otherwise, what I’ve been doing with it is – if you’ll excuse the irony of this post – just blogging.
