Only Focus Online - SMS088

How many musicians have gone viral, or received mass exposure on American Idol or The Voice, and unfortunately still have nothing to show for it? This hoping to get discovered still represents the old model of the music business and will not guarantee your success. In this episode, Leah and C.J. go over what does work and how you can achieve success by reaching your fans through the internet. We’re not just talking about just getting on Spotify, YouTube, and creating a Facebook artist page to post your next show. Reaching your ideal fans online is more sophisticated than that, and that’s what we’re breaking down in this episode!
