Is there a dream in your heart that you just can’t shake? Can you see yourself doing something and you can’t get it out of your mind? God has placed specific dreams and visions inside every person. He has a plan for your life and the aspirations that you just can’t seem to get out of your heart are clues to what you were created to do. By identifying your dreams, keeping them alive and coming up with a plan to execute them, your dreams can become a reality. When I talk about dreams, I’m not just talking about the visions you see when you go to sleep at night. While those are dreams, and God may speak to you while you sleep, the dreams I’m referring to are those hopes, longings, and aspirations in your heart. They are those series of images that continually replay in your mind about something you desire to accomplish.&lt;/div&gt;

Maybe you have a dream to sing, dance or be an artist. Or, you may dream of being an independent business owner in a particular area. Whatever your dream is, if God gave it to you, He will make a way for it to become a reality. First, recognize that your dream will be accompanied by an image or vision inside of you that you can’t get rid of. It is important that you keep the dream before your mind at all times. This will keep it active in your heart. Ways to keep your dream alive include thinking about it every day, writing it down in detail, cutting out pictures of things pertaining to your dream and pasting them on a board to look at, and talking about it with trusted friends. The Word of God says that whatever you imagine to do will not be restrained from you (Genesis 11:6). When you continually keep your dream before you, it will consume you and drive you to take action.&lt;/div&gt;

The distance between your dreams and reality is called action&lt;/h3&gt;

After you realize there is a particular dream in your heart that must become a reality, you’ve got to construct a plan to bring it to pass. Just because God gave you a dream doesn’t mean it will automatically happen; there is a part you must play in the process. First, get before the Lord and ask Him to direct your steps. Acknowledge Him as the giver of the dream; then and ask Him to give you wisdom regarding your dream and how to accomplish it. God is faithful! When you take the time to seek Him, He will give you the steps to take that will lead you down the path of seeing your dream come to pass. The Holy Spirit is your Helper; however, you are the initiator. When you take a step, God will meet you at your point of action. Each step you take will bring you closer to the end of your faith.&lt;/div&gt;

In fact, there will be people who will actually try to hinder you because of jealousy. Joseph is an example of that. He was a dreamer, yet he made the mistake of telling his brothers about his dream. As a result, they hated him and sold him into slavery (Genesis 37:5, 8, 28). Even though they tried to stop his destiny, they weren’t able to. Joseph still found favor in the midst of his trials and eventually, the dream God placed in his heart did come to pass. Don’t allow challenges or the negativity of other people to stop you. Trouble will come when you set out to fulfill your dreams. However, you can allow that trouble to work for you instead of against you. It will develop you above its ability to affect you if you stay focused on what God has called you to do, and stand on His Word. Most of all, never stop dreaming because when you stop dreaming, you stop living.&lt;/div&gt;

I want to encourage you to hold on to your dreams. Hold on to that thing God has put in your heart that you just can’t shake. Remain faithful to Him and do your part; He will bring your dream to pass.&lt;/div&gt;

Social media has become a massive part of our culture. In fact, it has changed our culture. It’s changed the way we do business, how we talk to each other and how we entertain ourselves. It’s also changed how music fans experience music and how they experience the artists behind the music. So, if you are an artist promoting your music on the Internet and you’re not already plugged into a social media outlet or two, it’s time to jump in. If you’re not connected, you are quickly becoming disconnected with what’s going on around you, socially speaking.&lt;/div&gt;

It’s not enough to have a website or even an&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/dembeatsproduction/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;account. Your fans want to know you, they want to follow you and they want to interact with you. They want to chat with you personally, comment on your music and see what you’re doing right now. Your fans expect you to be part of their daily “friend-checking” routine. Your life is entertainment to them. Your life is a reality show and you didn’t even know it!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
On one hand, the level of personal interaction social media encourages is a good thing. When it comes to networking, developing relationships with your fans is a key element. It always has been. But now, as you get more involved with social media and start posting your “status update” several times a day for the world to see, things begin to get personal, perhaps a little bit too personal. How do you cope with this?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Having been active in the social media world for a while now, I’ve discovered the importance of setting boundaries for what I do and do not post for the world at large to read. I have learned that if you cross these boundaries, there can be social consequences. Have you ever really thought about how the words you post come across to your fan base? What you post can drastically change your reader’s opinion about you, in both good and bad ways. While a fan might be thrilled to find you on Twitter or Facebook at first, after following your posts for a while they may become bored with you, disappointed in you, turned off by you or even angry at you.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Social interaction with your fans is a good thing, to a point. But it would be wise to give yourself a few rules to go by; rules to help protect you not only from yourself (because you can be your own worst enemy) but also those who follow you that may or may not have your best interests in mind.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

Measure Your Words Carefully. And Then Measure Again. Think twice about every word you’re about to post before you post. When you first get involved in social networking, the most natural thing to do to is to just “be yourself” and post your true feelings, thoughts, and opinions about everything under the sun. This can be a two-edged sword when it comes to how your fans perceive you. Your fans like your music because they relate to it somehow and as a result on some level they think they know and understand you. But the truth is, they don’t know you at all. That means that with every word, thought or opinion you post there is the potential to taint someone’s image of who you are. Always measure how your words match up with your public image. If you write beautiful Christian songs of love and compassion, but your posts are filled with cynical ramblings, harsh language, and sexual innuendo, how does that affect your fans image of you? Destroy your fans image of you and it will cost you&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.devinejamz.com/build-a-rapport-with-your-audience/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;long term relationships&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and sales. So, before you post your opinions on this or that, always make sure what you post is truly how you want to represent yourself to your fans.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Stay Positive. Listen, no one likes a complainer. Don’t use your status update to tell the world how lousy you feel, how stressed out you are, how hard life is, how unfair you’ve been treated, how misunderstood you are or how much you hate your job. People tire of whiners quickly. Do you enjoy listening to people who complain? Neither does anyone else. Complaining is the fastest way to lose friends and followers (in real life too). Whatever you do, when you post a status update, be positive and encouraging to others. Present your life as good, blessed and happy, even if it isn’t at every single moment. If you are a joyful person, people will be drawn to you.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Social media is a great thing, and a fantastic way to stay in touch with your fans on a day to day basis. But words are powerful, lasting, and shape people’s perceptions of who you are. So always be watchful of how you present yourself in writing. Think twice before you post, stay positive, be enthusiastic and avoid being negative or boring.&lt;/div&gt;

Promotion is probably one of a musician’s worse enemy! I say this because it’s the part most people get wrong, intentionally, or not. There are people who take the time to record the perfect CD, pay to have it mastered, have an excellent cover, get it into shops worldwide, then just sit down and wait for their CD to sell. But it hardly does. Why? Because they hardly promoted it! You can’t expect people to walk into a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://davidemaxwellbeats.com/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;record shop&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and buy your music. You must let people know it’s there and give them a good reason to buy it! The same goes for selling your music on the internet.&lt;/div&gt;

That’s OK! Most musicians don’t. But I’ll tell you now, without including some form of promotion in your campaigns, whether you do it yourself or hire someone else to do it for you, awareness will not get very far.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;So how much promotion do you need for a successful new release? Well, that would depend on the size and type of the project. One thing’s for sure, you should be promoting your release between 2 – 4 weeks prior to the release date. Start out by&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.devinejamz.com/build-a-rapport-with-your-audience/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;establishing a rapport with your followers and audience&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;. As you get to bring more awareness about who you are as a person, then you can mention your upcoming project without too many details. Whatever you say, don’t advertise yourself as someone who merely wants to sell music. Make a serious connection! You are dealing with real people that like to have a real social connection. Then, as the date gets closer, offer more details while making a bigger deal out of it. Creating anticipation and a buzz is a great way to pre-sell your music. If done correctly a nice portion of your sells should come within the first week or so. Keep in mind that the quality of your music and the demand for your style of music must be factored into sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Just before releasing your CD, you should carry on spending the time to promote it. It’s a good idea to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.devinejamz.com/radio-interview/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;appear on live radio shows&lt;/a&gt;, get interviews, create&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.devinejamz.com/digital-audio-workstation/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;content marketing&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;with insight into the songs, link flyers to Landing&amp;nbsp;Page, use&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://press.devinemarketers.com/&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #007711; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;music entertainment news&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;platforms, get a professional music review, promote music by guest blogging, and anything else you can fit in. Simply writing a post on a music forum will not get you the amount of exposure and sales you’ll need to even cover the cost of making your music project. Even an article in a popular magazine often isn’t enough by itself. So, think bigger! People react better to buying when they’ve seen your promotion in different places. They become curious about your product. That means you need to be everywhere your customers are!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Please don’t make the mistake of&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;under promoting your music&lt;/strong&gt;. If you’re going to put the effort into recording and releasing your music, the least you could do is let it reach its full potential!&lt;br /&gt;

Many are hungry and thirsty for success but remain starved because of how they go about achieving it. If there is one thing I’ve learned, we must remain humble, lovable, and teachable. It’s also important that we are willing to work with others. We must be able to relate to our audience so that we know what their purpose and interest consist of on the internet. It will help us understand what content to generate and use for establishing a dialogue. When our rapport becomes stronger, the more likely we will gain trust and become valuable to our current and new followers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This may lead to the exact opposite and in most cases, it’s called spamming. You can scream “Buy my album!” from a rooftop all day long to no avail. Sure, you might get a few likes and purchases here and there, but nothing meaningful or long lasting. The recommended approach would be to start a conversation, build a consistent relationship, then offer something of value such as a free product or service. Eventually, you will receive conversions including sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

When we neglect to work together and help others reach their full potential, we are left with no activity or feedback. Don’t illustrate it’s all about “me” and “my purpose only”. It shows a lack of unity, to say the least. This should not be, especially in the Christian community. Present yourself different and show that you honestly care about your audience and not trying to be on top of the Billboard chart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

For our meals, we must retrieve food in a gigantic willy wonka bowl using a super long spoon and handle. There are other artists and music industry professionals around the edge of the bowl who also must eat. The super long spoon makes it difficult for us to reach our mouth. What can we do using the tool given to us?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #444444; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;

Now imagine again the same huge bowl of food. Only this time, when we retrieve food using the long spoon we extend the spoon across the bowl to feed the person in front of us and vice versa. Everyone catches on and now we all get to eat! This is just a simple illustration to voice that we all need each other in the kingdom of God!&lt;/div&gt;

Let’s face it, the music industry can be very demanding at times. And as Christian artists, we know that the enemy would like nothing more than to draw us apart to discourage us and have us compete and fight among ourselves. I believe that if we take the time to communicate with our audience, share meaningful content that’s helpful, network with fellow industry sisters and brothers, and inspiring one another, we can reach our purpose and goals online. What say you? How do you feel about building a rapport?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Digital Audio Workstation (D.A.W.)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&amp;nbsp;

Most music producers know there are many recording software programs available today. Just to give some examples being utilized incorporates Steinberg Cubase, Propellerhead Reason, Ableton Live, Apple Logic Pro, Audacity, Cockos Reaper, FL-Studio, and Pro-Tools, which numerous producers consider to be the industry standard, as it should be. Some of the applications are intended and designed for DJ’s. While others are utilized for broadcasting, live performances, and digital musicians who may not play a single instrument. If a person has the creative skills to hear, imagine, and learn the functions of the software, then all they need to do is copy, paste, point, and click.

&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Why I Use Sonar X3 Producer&lt;/u&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVG_ryJvr4q3dtvsnH_BUFnUy5UUykt_npPjRMmANku5JAmBqAxYJtgZyvX4zc65xRcl8309-v9sw9yqiwOj9A66DTFBLYZP1vaBG81HJXmorZ9t6QoNA8M7JDf8NvRJPTvHG8KU35VnU/s1600/onlinelogomaker-100116-2402.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;116&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVG_ryJvr4q3dtvsnH_BUFnUy5UUykt_npPjRMmANku5JAmBqAxYJtgZyvX4zc65xRcl8309-v9sw9yqiwOj9A66DTFBLYZP1vaBG81HJXmorZ9t6QoNA8M7JDf8NvRJPTvHG8KU35VnU/s320/onlinelogomaker-100116-2402.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
Like many, in the beginning, I started out with one of the easiest free D.A.W. that’s still on the market today. I’m talking about &lt;a class=&quot;amzn_ps_bm_tl&quot; data-amzn-link-id=&quot;b87313b22d68492e0a084eb6ca542bd7&quot; data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword=&quot;Audacity Audio Editor and Recorder&quot; href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Audacity%C2%AE-Audio-Recorder-Editor-professional/dp/3959828292/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=devinemagazine-20&amp;amp;linkId=b87313b22d68492e0a084eb6ca542bd7&amp;amp;linkCode=ktl&quot; id=&quot;amznPsBmLink_52556&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Audacity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;amznPsBmPixel_52556&quot; src=&quot;https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&amp;amp;t=devinemagazine-20&amp;amp;bm-id=default&amp;amp;l=ktl&amp;amp;linkId=b87313b22d68492e0a084eb6ca542bd7&amp;amp;_cb=1481601202712&quot; width=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;. The software was good for recording basic vocals and some instruments. However, it fell short in the mastering department, which was very limited or didn’t exist at all for high tech use. I’ve tried several others and eventually ended with &lt;a class=&quot;amzn_ps_bm_tl&quot; data-amzn-link-id=&quot;b43e1c7129c0947851a36f099ef727a8&quot; data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword=&quot;Sonar X3 Producer&quot; href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Cakewalk-SONARX3-Music-Production-Software/dp/B00GXNNVLS/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=devinemagazine-20&amp;amp;linkId=b43e1c7129c0947851a36f099ef727a8&amp;amp;linkCode=ktl&quot; id=&quot;amznPsBmLink_1610337&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sonar X3 Producer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;amznPsBmPixel_1610337&quot; src=&quot;https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&amp;amp;t=devinemagazine-20&amp;amp;bm-id=default&amp;amp;l=ktl&amp;amp;linkId=b43e1c7129c0947851a36f099ef727a8&amp;amp;_cb=1481597109028&quot; width=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;. Price wise, a Digital Audio Workstation may vary according to its functionalities. Since the software are tailored to meet the specific needs of specific users, you can expect to see the price fluctuating according to the purpose and brand. That leads me back to the reason why I use Sonar X3 Producer. Not only does it meets my needs, the price is right as well!

&amp;nbsp;

As a musician, &lt;a href=&quot;http://davidemaxwellbeats.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;music producer&lt;/a&gt;, and sometimes DJ, I fell in love with the versatility of Sonar and what it had to offer. It comes loaded with presets that helps with the workflow so you can quickly move forward with your creative process. It has many virtual instruments, Vst-Plugins and effects, &lt;a class=&quot;amzn_ps_bm_tl&quot; data-amzn-link-id=&quot;e7faeecbdb55d402293a5a348eb54c13&quot; data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword=&quot;Sonar X3 Producer&quot; href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Cakewalk-SONARX3PRODUG-Producer-Production-Software/dp/B00HEY34CG/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=devinemagazine-20&amp;amp;linkId=e7faeecbdb55d402293a5a348eb54c13&amp;amp;linkCode=ktl&quot; id=&quot;amznPsBmLink_2160560&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;mixing and mastering tools&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;amznPsBmPixel_2160560&quot; src=&quot;https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&amp;amp;t=devinemagazine-20&amp;amp;bm-id=default&amp;amp;l=ktl&amp;amp;linkId=e7faeecbdb55d402293a5a348eb54c13&amp;amp;_cb=1481597656293&quot; width=&quot;0&quot; /&gt; to polish your recordings for CD Quality. It has a built-in step sequencer and even a Matrix View that enables you to create mixes on the fly. It can chop up samples like the Digital MPC’s. It is fully MIDI compatible with all MIDI Keyboards and Controllers. It’s also great for live performances. Even more, Sonar X3 Producer has a fully functional Video Production suite.

&amp;nbsp;

So, if you’re a producer of audio and/or video and you are looking for a good recording software that gives you more bang for your buck, I recommend Sonar X3 Producer or the upgrade Sonar Platinum.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Art of Blogging For Profit&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;&quot;&gt;
Most people think of blogs as nothing more than a platform for expressing their opinions or random thoughts. It seems that anyone with an opinion or interest in anything thinks they have what it takes to blog. But what these people are missing out on is the fact that, when utilized properly, you can use a blog as a money-making machine!&lt;a data-mce-href=&quot;http://davidemaxwell.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/images.jpg&quot; href=&quot;http://davidemaxwell.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/images.jpg&quot; style=&quot;color: #00aadc;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignright size-full wp-image-6&quot; data-mce-src=&quot;http://davidemaxwell.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/images.jpg&quot; height=&quot;171&quot; src=&quot;https://davidemaxwell.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/images.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; float: right; height: auto; margin: 16px 0px 16px 16px; max-width: 100%;&quot; title=&quot;images&quot; width=&quot;295&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;&quot;&gt;
Best of all, you don’t have to be a web guru to make cash off of your blog. It really comes down to some very simple techniques that anyone can do. With the simple placement of some ads and some attention-grabbing content, you can use a free blogging service to make fast cash. Some people are so good at this that they can actually make a living off of their blog posts. If you have great content, an interesting topic and the determination to use social networking to its fullest extent, there is no reason that YOU can’t make a living off of a blog.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;&quot;&gt;
But before you sign up for a blog and start writing the first thing that comes to your mind, you need to ask yourself what your blog will be about. Will your topic of choice have the potential to bring in a large audience? Is your topic something that you and your audience are passionate about? And, perhaps most importantly of all, is your topic profitable?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;&quot;&gt;
It’s one thing to blog about your political opinions or your distaste of popular music. It is a totally different experience to create worthwhile content that will keep your audience coming back for more. When you have a blog or website that is good enough so that your readers bookmark your site, you’re bound for good things—with ads and other forms of affiliate marketing, you can very well make money nearly anytime someone visits your site!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;&quot;&gt;
The entire process of profiting from your blog is much easier than it may seem at first. Once you get the hang of it, your blog can literally make you money while you even aren’t on the computer! Check out some of these amazing products to learn how YOU can start making money with your blog within mere minutes!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: &amp;quot;georgia&amp;quot; , serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 28px; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;If there is one thing clear about music and the internet, it’s that there are no clear options for distribution. Rather, there are hundreds of varied strategies that may work depending on who you are and what your situation is. Creativity and understanding of how the web works are the two things that will help you the most.To most people the idea of releasing free to use music may sound unprofitable and wasteful, but when looking at the bigger picture it turns out to be a very smart move. There is no better way to spread your music than to release it for free. In most cases you wouldn’t be making much from selling it anyway. Just like in any business, you need to have a customer base before you can make any profit. 
Assuming you are a musician who can perform live as well as produce studio recordings, the ways to make money in the modern music environment will not be from album sales. The album as a concept is slowly but surely disappearing, as music is no longer released on disks and more emphasis is being places on EPs and singles. These are harder to sell for considerable profits, and by offering them only for payment, you limit how many people will obtain them. 
Instead of trying to go against the unstoppable juggernaut of illegal file sharing and music downloading, go with it. Give your music away and watch it spread as far as it can. Keeping in mind that you could only make so much off it anyway, in the beginning at least, the positives outweigh the negative. 
In return for passing out your music free of charge, you obtain promotion and reputation in return. In other words, you get more fans. Fans are what lead to profits down the line if you are a musical act, and they are the most important thing when it comes to the business side of the equation. So the move is to get your music out there in any way that you can if you think it will lead to promotion and new fans. 
New fans can lead to increased albums sales, concert ticket sales, and music placement in commercials or films, and that is when the money will be coming in. But if you started off selling a few albums for $10 a piece, you would be sitting around with $50 and five fans. That $50 is nothing compared to the long term income obtainable from establishing yourself as a popular musical act. 
So when you are thinking about how to make a living with your music, think about how to get fans before you think about monetization. Look for sites like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jango.com/&quot;&gt;Jango.com&lt;/a&gt; that work to get people’s music out there and their names recognized, and use any tool you can find. Creativity in promotion is the name of the game on the internet, and the key to getting your work heard. &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://davidemaxwell.blogspot.com/feeds/2084972148052265053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://davidemaxwell.blogspot.com/2016/08/how-to-profit-from-giving-away-free.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3716952091795366628/posts/default/2084972148052265053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3716952091795366628/posts/default/2084972148052265053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://davidemaxwell.blogspot.com/2016/08/how-to-profit-from-giving-away-free.html' title=''/><author><name>DAVID E.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&quot;Fatherless&quot; is inspired by the true story of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/kenjohnson27&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ken Johnson&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Chaplain for the Indianapolis Colts. Born in Los Angeles and surrounded by drugs, alcohol and extreme poverty, football became Ken&#39;s escape. When football fails to give him what he so desperately wants, Ken turns to the only other thing in his life, faith in God. The film begins as Ken struggles with the remnants of his past including a mother he has not seen for years. His life turns upside down when he encounters a young boy by the name of Jeremy who is fatherless. Ken must confront the ghetto from the dim recesses of his mind as he tries to show Jeremy that people hurt people, because they are hurting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;Philadelphia, PA— &lt;a href=&quot;http://staceyharcum.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stacey Harcum&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;released his debut solo album, Soul Exposed, on July 26, 2013. Stacey Harcum, songwriter, teamed up with Anthony C Bell, producer for Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan, etc., to create an incredible Neo-Soul sound, served Philly style.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;Many great artist, producers and singers joined Stacey in the studio. James Poyser of &quot;The Roots&quot; co-produced tunes titled Love Never Fails and Truly Free. Monique Harcum, his sister, co-leads the upbeat song Miracles as she introduces her daughter Nayah to the mic. &quot;Stacey Harcum&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://youtu.be/7Q0h_WXPWpk&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;Soul Exposed&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has been quite a pleasant surprise! I&#39;ve always been a fan of one of the most multi-talented artists&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;EVER! For some reason I was expecting an instrumental CD, NOT! Stacey is sangin&#39;!...his heart out with his soul exposed! This is neo-soul, jazzy music with THE MESSAGE, but no sermon. You will be finger snapping, toe tapping and head bopping along to every track!,&quot; said Deatrice Isaac, who pre-ordered her &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.missionzinmusic.com/home&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Soul Exposed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; via a crowd funding campaign. She also said, &quot;Stacey Harcum&#39;s title track &quot;Soul Exposed&quot; starts out as a prayer/petition, like David&#39;s Psalms, asking GOD to search him with his soul exposed. (It also reminds me of Marvin Gaye&#39;s, &quot;What&#39;s Going On?&quot;) It&#39;s passionate, soulful and heartfelt. ...and who better to match Stacey&#39;s soulfulness and sentiment in lyrics and phrasing than &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/stacey.harcum.9?fref=ts&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stacey himself&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;! He echoes back every note as he blows that sax! These lyrics are (spiritually) mature content...&amp;amp; I love it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Most independent musicians don’t have large marketing and advertising budgets to spread the word about their #music. You’ve spent most of your money on the recording itself, why not use that as your marketing tool? Giving away your music might seem counter-productive if you’re ultimately trying to sell it, but giving away the right amount, and to the right people, can help you build your email list, learn more about your audience, fuel word-of-mouth marketing, and spur greater sales in the long run.&amp;nbsp;After all, the end goal of any marketing, advertising, or promotional plan is to get people to listen to your music.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Verdana;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;How much should you give away?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Verdana;&quot;&gt;
Usually one free track from your new album will do the trick. It’s hard enough to get people’s attention, so focusing on a single track will help even a small amount of buzz gain some critical mass. If you have older albums or demos, perhaps you can make some of that music available for free as well, but keep the focus on your new material.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Verdana;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;How should you give it away?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #222222; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Verdana;&quot;&gt;Just because you are giving away your music for free does not mean you should give it away freely. Employ some strategy, using the following ideas, to make your free music work for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It is called the G..(Guided)..O..(Online)..D..(Directions) method! I will do all teaching via Skype and I will be posting numerous video tutorials explaining all of the concepts that are taught; music theory; functional keyboard; and music composition! If it is your desire to learn any or all of the areas of music training mentioned here, please fill out the form on this page and contact me with your name, location, training desired, and times that you want your training? I will be looking forward to hearing from you! Also, I ask you to let all know who may be interested to also take this training and I will give you a discount on every person who signs up, 10% off up to 50%! May God bless you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
