kill music careerTo kick off our “re-launch”, here’s a humorous (but very true) article from Bob Baker in which he gives musicians a 7 step plan to ruin their music career. I’ve written out the 7 steps below, but head over to Music Think Tank to read the full article.

  1. Give away your personal power.
  2. Turn marketing, promotion and sales into a huge burden.
  3. Be fearful of being perceived as a greedy, capitalist pig.
  4. Use a lack of time, money and connections as your biggest excuse.
  5. Market yourself to the faceless masses using traditional big media.
  6. Promote yourself sporadically and only when it’s urgent.
  7. Know that everyone owes you something simply because you exist.
