Yay, first post!
I’m gonna update this blog on a daily basis, even if it may be just a short one.
Even though I have been doing digital marketing from 2016 until present, with even a few times selling out comedy shows, I had to relearn a lot of things (still am!) as (1) music is very different due to most of it being mostly free and (2) Facebook changed a lot in 2021 with the rise of iOS 14’s pixel-killing sledgehammer which took away some of the Facebook Ads’ accurate targeting and reporting.
Nevertheless, Facebook targeted me correctly because Indie Bible advertised their Spotify playlist directory to me . And because Rick Barker was featured in it, I started following him as well.
By the way, I came out of the self-help-business-coaching seminar-webinar industry (2017-2020), so I am very familiar with speakers & gurus, some of whom unfortunately were scammmy. Also, most of their prices ended in a “7”. ????
Nevertheless I attended Rick Barker’s “5 Must Haves” webinar and his honesty and genuineness won me over. Each of the 5 points made total sense and reminded me of a guide I wrote last year on “7 Elements of Copywriting” or something like that, so I understood the importance of the checklist.
He offered something at the end of his “5 Must Haves” webinar. And I liked how he warned everyone about the offer in the beginning ????. Even though his offer price ended in a “7”, I really wanted to grab it to find out how to get music registered properly and learn other things to reach more people.
But alas, first I need to raise funds for a REAPER license ($60) and a Finale license ($600) [click on the links to help me raise funds], so what I did was I grabbed his more affordable Social Media for Music Course even though its landing page was built on Clickfunnels ???? (inside joke).
So far I’m about 30% into the course. His material on Instagram marketing is amazing! So I am looking forward to implementing what I’ve learned.
As someone who came out of the “knowledge industry”, I’d say Rick is one of the few genuine ones!
Livestreaming Songwriting Sessions
I’m also going to begin livestreaming songwriting sessions (Instagram live for the first few) as a way for you to be able to help contribute. It’s also a good way to document the process. If there are fun moments in between, it’d make for a nice compilation too, so stay tuned for them!
