ARTISTS: if a writer/publication writes an article on you, DO NOT screen shot the entire article. You’re robbing them of traffic and ad revenue. Link the article instead and direct your audience there. Not only does it boost SEO, but also shows you have engagement.

A lot of y’all have hot music but no message or brand to attach it. In 2020 it’s imperative to dig deep and understand who you speak for and to. Just supplying visuals and music gets you attention but you need actual tangibles (message, brand, etc) to build a sustainable business

Undisciplined habits are usually the root cause of stagnation. You’re unconsciously making choices that no longer serve you, but because you’ve built the habit you’ve now made it a part of your identity. Remember it’s not who you are, it’s just what you do.
