It’s not enough to release a record thinking that the music on its own will build your brand, it won’t. Marketing will. But even when you have a good marketing skills and a well established social media presence, social media followers are at best non-committal and flakey when it comes to real support and forking over dollars. There’s one thing you won’t create real and lasting success without – and it’s…
