Practice And Hone Your Craft
First of all, make sure you’re working as hard as you can to hone your craft. Practice regularly, and find resources that can help you to get better at what you’re doing. Maybe take lessons, go to seminars, and join classes. There are lots of things you can do to get better, explore them all and see what works best for you!
Use As Many Platforms To Get Your Music Out There As You Can
There are a ton of platforms that could help you to get to where you want to be, so make sure you explore them all and see which ones work the best for you. With Soundcloud you can buy SoundCloud plays to help promote your work. You can make YouTube videos of you singing, or even just talking about singing! As long as you’re getting your music and name out there, keep on going.
Build Your Brand
It’s important to realize that you’re building a personal brand with the content that you’re putting out there. What do you want people to associate with you? How do you want people to view you? Make sure you build a strong brand and keep on working at it. Learn all about personal branding and learn from people who did it successfully before you.
Listen To Your Audience And Ask For Feedback
Make sure you listen to what your audience has to say. Respond to them and build strong relationships with them. Make this all about them, as they are the people who are going to help you to make it!
If you’re unsure of what to do next or what sort of thing you should be looking at putting out there, ask for feedback. Show your audience that you care about what they say and think and it’ll take you places.
Set Up Live Gigs
Live gigs are another great way to get your name out there. They’ll help you to build confidence and get you ready for the huge venues you’ll play when you’ve made it!
Treat It Like A Full Time Job
Treat this like a full-time job; put hours into it every week. You need to work hard at it if you want it to work.
Never Lose Sight Of Your Vision
Make sure you keep your vision in mind at all times to help you to get to where you want to be. Never lose sight of why you’re doing this!
