In this episode of Work Hard. Rock Harder, Seth Jackson, founder of HowToRunABand.com, and Blasko, bassist for Ozzy Osbourne and musician turned manager, discuss the dreaded information overload brought on by the internet. Bottom line: learning without action means nothing.
Show notes
Usually one motivated guy in a band that gets things done
There's so much more information, it's more discouraging than having no information
Majority of information is detailed in and indepth - it's overwhelming
Information addiction can be a form of procrastination
Figure out the one thing you need to know, learn it, do it, test it and master it
There are some things you shouldn't do by yourself - you need a professional eg. contracts
Various options for promoting music online
Make listening to your music, buying your music and contacting you as easy as possible
Know your audience and give them what they want
Get out there, and see what works for you
Stop the research, start doing and start testing - if it doesn't work, drop it.
