Build a Fanbase You Can Be Proud Of

One of the biggest mistakes I see artists make, whether they are locals just getting their feet wet or major label acts with decades of experience, is alienating their fanbase.

Simply put, if you drive your fans away, you are actively taking money out of your own pocket.

That’s why it’s incredibly important to nurture long-term relationships with your fans and then keep those relationships alive and well.

If you fail to do that, your career will be dwindling sooner than you think.

Listen now to learn how you can build solid connections, maintain an active fanbase, and avoid the downfall of ruining your music career!

What you’ll learn:

  • Growing relationships with your fans to further your career
  • A warning about your public presence on the internet
  • The difference between a good interaction with fans and a bad interaction with fans
  • Making fans feel like they belong
  • The cyclical nature of a band’s decline
  • Being an infection force of positivity
  • Creating memories with your fans
  • Protecting yourself and your bandmates
  • Making a win/win offer that fans can’t refuse
  • Adding value to your fans’ lives
