David Hooper joins us to day to share ways comedians might market themselves based on what he know from the music business. In 2013 David released his book, “Six-Figure Musician – How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows, and Make More Money in the Music Business”.
During our brainstorming session he reveals a lot of great actionable tips, including:
- How demographics play a role in product choice
- Being in the business of being YOURSELF
- The experience that can’t be replicated
- Long tail marketing … what is it?
- How to make money in Chunky, MS
- What you can learn from Lynard Skynard
- Colt Ford and his cult following
- The benefit of a physical product
- Innovative distribution of TONIGHTS show
- Market like Disney
- Monetizing the live experience
- Making email lists a priority
- Owning your masters
- How being topical can get you on the radio
- Tapping out before you reach your potential
- Being known for one bit you hate
- The reason Chris Stapleton is an overnight success
- My upcoming book “Anchors & Hooks”
- Including your fans in your journey on stage (and off)
And much, much more!
