Even one genuine comment or interaction on your art should be valued. You made it to express yourself and someone connected with it, why does it have to be ten thousand if it connected with one person be happy that you touched them.

Everyone wants to be famous. Everyone wants to be a rockstar. What makes you different? Why are you so special? Are you as good as you think you are? Are the people around you just telling you what you'd like to hear about your music? Stop making music to be famous and start making it for yourself.

I mean this is true, you should always be making music because its what you want to do but some people also WANT to have third !music heard by somebody else every once in a while. I totally get that people don't give a fuck about you - most successful artist even know that- but that doesn't mean someone doesn't want to hear something different and that should be reason enough to want to put music out like guys its not always about you. be committed to the music is what I'm saying, but also remember no one owes you anything.

Bottom line. You can do anything you put your mind to. Be aware of this industry the good and the bad and tackle it full force. I'm not a famous musician. I'm not the best songwriter. But. I back what I do with my heart and everything means something to me. I will do whatever it takes and push myself until it happens. I'd say that "trying" is the real threshold that people are afraid to cross. Growing up people will tell you, "oh you can't be a musician, that's impossible!" Or something along those lines, but really, how many people right there does that stop ? If you ask me id say a good 75%. Do more then dream Utilize every minute of your day tward Something to do with your dreams and ambitions. Otherwise you fall behind that 75% I've noticed in many interviews with bands all having a similar story. None were every struck by lightning and learned to play guitar like jimmy page. The all just tried, and tried, and tried, because they knew they could do it. Which really shows that you have to believe in yourself before you ask other people to believe in you. That's just my two cents on the matter though. Great video.

You definitely summed this up perfectly! As someone who is making the big step into finally putting out music, this puts a lot of perspective on things. Knowing I am constantly in competition with other artists and musicians opens my eyes into how much effort, work, and hustle I need to put into this music. Great video!!

I think this is the most difficult part of musical success- getting your music out there. Nowadays, making great songs is just not enough, you have to market yourself as a brand. You have to have a large fan base and you have to keep pushing forward, no matter how difficult times get. I'm not giving up. The 24/7 grind continues!

The journey is getting me fired up! Inspirational, no bull video, thanks!

Depends on how much contend you produce. Much content= Many releases (More than 2 Songs a week maybe) (Or bundle them too an album) Less Content= Less releases (1 Song a week or less)(Takes a long time too make an Album) Try too find your own scale. And dont set yourself any dates. Only when your done.

@RiddLs

Dropping songs individually is a pretty different take all together. The common trend I see is an album every 2 year with maybe an EP or a split released somewhere in the middle 16 months between two LPs. But it's really up to the individual. Some bands release an album every year and release EPs and splits on top of that, some bands go 5, 6, 7, years without releasing any new music.

Of course, there more releases you have, the more likely you are to be noticed. But I'd say what matters most is keeping your creative momentum going.

daniel ap 3-6 months between each release. If its an EP, Id lean toward 3...gotta keep the momentum from each project going. If youre not releasing music, you should be doing shows. He actually mentions a similar approach at about 6min in the video.

Being new to the KZread and music community I really appreciate your insight and am going to use it!

Your advice is highly invaluable. What bums me out personally is the fact that music is SO competitive! More though, is the fact that I must attend to an actual job which means that I have little time for music. It's so frustrating! But this video was of great help. I'm actually looking to buy myself a new microphone so I'm determined to dedicate myself!

Simply posting on youtube or any other site doesn't really qualify as promoting, because no matter how good my music might be, literally no one's viewing it. maybe I should just start pushing it on comment threads. so yea, check out my music on facebook.com/kcgov I do R&B/rap, and make the music the music myself. :)

i came to his page for just one thing a danny brown review but got stuck in some real grate info on music and making music and even promotion u have just made a hardcore fan and i will be spreding the word keep i up man

My personal response to your points in this video (They are all silly): 1. Even If there was only a bare minimum of music listening options, most of the problems amateur musicians have would still be present. They existed before the internet existed. It doesn't matter how much content you have or how much you promote your work. All that matters is how people react to your music. You can have 20 albums at hand but they are all meaningless if no one knows about them 2. If you’re trying to make it, any music you send to bloggers goes straight to the junk folder or will be ignored without second thought because you haven’t already made it. Very similar to how you won’t get a job because you don’t have a job already. This is Meaningless and deceiving advice. PR firms are the only way to go. 3. Since most music makers have slim to no marketing or promo skills, any independent music promotion campaigns are set up for failure from the start because there are skills we do not possess. Never do what others can do for you. Let the PR firms do the work for you. 4. Most people have fake standards for music or very minimum standards for Music. So for you to say that we have to make Music that people want to hear or are interested in hearing is very aggressive, cold-blooded statement as it is flatout untrue. 5. In relation to reaching out via Social Media. Um, not everyone uses Social Media sites let alone significant people who can get your Music out there. 6. The worst attitude you can have in the music business is thinking that you’re competing with anybody. 7. The very purpose of a music career or rockstar career is out of ego and self-interest. Meaningless point.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude such concise info, bang on with all of this!!

Anthony has a lot of good points here. imho, the most important is having your music on ALL THE PLATFORMS. personally, I'm not looking to make a monetary profit, as I'm not popular and the number of people I reach is basically my profit. and look into netlabels too, they're ran by great people and are generally very open minded. good luck :)

Thanks for the tips dude, I've been working on promoting my first single and its definitely harder than I realized it would be (fuc) but its been a slow and steady progression. Anyway, thanks for making this vid, and keep it up I love your music reviews.

Although this is from 2012, this is the best video on music marketing I have watched so far.

This just inspired the hell out of me, thanks Anthony!!!

I think I love you man. Thanks for this. There's alot of us out there trying to "get into the game" as it were. It's a tough game my brother.

thanks for the tips, man! love your channel by the way.

Wow this is probably the best how to get music going vid I've ever seen. Thank you sir

I'll probably end up watching this over and over. just To remind myself about a lot of the points you bring up because I tend to forget them.

This was in 2012, bloody hell..... still gold now. Thanks.

if theres one thing ive learned through years of making tunes its that making the tunes is the only reward you should ever expect and its a pretty good reward if you make the music you truly want to make.

Thanks Anthony. As a music student planning to record and release an EP for a project, this information is very useful.

Your points are excellent. Thank you, good sir.

Man your videos are sometimes hit or miss with me, but this was pretty inspirational and educational. Thanks 😎

This is great stuff! Made a lot of good points!

In the games industry there's a belief that as long as you put it on some kind of platform you will get at least some kind of following. Anthony's 4th point relates to that really well, as long as you make something that you think is good, out of the millions of people on the internet who like good things, some of them will stumble on yours and enjoy it. So just make as much good music as you can.
