Why Aren’t I More Successful?
By Wendy Day
The Question:
I’m an indie/unsigned artist.. I’ve been doin’ things for some years now but
I have never really found any true success from it, and I need for that to
change..I want to take my career to the next level. If you can help in any
way, please feel more than free to do so. Thank you.
My Answer:
Hi!! Thanks for reaching out. I’m not sure what walls you are coming up
against or what your overall goals are, but I can tell you that the reason most
artists don’t experience success (if they’ve put in years of work) are usually
one or more of the following:
1. Limited knowledge of HOW to achieve goals such as getting signed to a
record deal or building a fan base. 2. Your music isn’t appealing to a large
audience or fan base 3. No money to market or promote your music.
All of the above are fixable, fortunately. You can learn how the industry
works and how to achieve your goals by reading, networking, and interacting with those who are more successful than you. I have a blog (www.IndustryReport.com) and a book that would be a great start to solving challenge
