    Unfortunate personal experiences of lucky escapes, since the very beginning of my career!
    Amazing how many of the older gen of the industry would try it on if they thought I believed I had to do something extra to get a deal or work with a certain artist. :dunno:
    And this was both male and female execs/producers/managers etc.
    So I guess I have appeal to both parties?! lol
    I still look young for my age, and it's been both a blessing and a burden, whereby people may assume I'm naive.

    Do You know good tutorials, articles, tips about promote and selling? :)

    Which way for promote is better?

    Social media and tools like for example:
    Instagram - share maded stuff as posts, following people who listen the same genre you produce and waiting for follow back, collecting fans?
    or maybe mixed up with memes or with tips about plugins, programs, audio engeenering stuff?

    Soundcloud mixed with Youtube on Facebook or VK - adding maded stuff to soundcloud, youtube and share in facebook or vk, trying to add in music groups or specific genre gropus, as a post, comment etc?

    or maybe other way for promoting is better?

    You need to be performing live.

    To become "famous".. ..or when you are, already? Asking, because I value your opinions..:bow: but confused because I can name quite a few BIG "artists" (in the last 10-15y) that became super-famous, without ever performing live/touring :unsure:

    Ps not saying they haven't done it after the fact..

    I humbly submit that live is the only accurate measure of where the fuck we truly are at , its a harsh and cherished educator and yard stick , there really are no words , its craft , just do it and grow , its so addictive you will be back for more

    I think we are assuming that some of us have musical skills, and therefore have something to offer an audience.
    So I reckon bluerover means gigging in order to get noticed...

    But yes, you are totally correct; as the industry is not just about performing, or musical skills.

    If you want to make good music, you study it and work on your sound

    if you want to be famous, you study branding and work on your image

    if you want to be rich, you study marketing and work on your sells

    if you want to just make music and have all the others, you find a team to work for you, but you'll need money from something else first if you want to pay them (or find good friend that believe in you AND have the skills... which is a rare thing)

    If you want to make money with music, but not the fame and touring, become a ghost producer, cause streaming will not give you money to live

    but no matter what you want, persistance is essential, having a plan is key (daily/weekly/yearly) and a vision for where you want to go.

    If you make music and share it on soundcloud/youtube and wait for people to discover it, it could be the best song ever, that would still be like throwing a coin in the air and expect for it to fall on its side. Not impossible, but you got to have a shit ton of luck, or a shit ton of trial before it happens...

    It's not who you are, or what your talent is. It's who you know.
    Get to know the right people and your career might blossom.

    Music is a trade.But you can give up or die trying

    So you want to be famous

    if it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything,
    don't do it.
    unless it comes unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut,
    don't do it.
    if you have to sit for hours staring at your computer screen
    don't do it.
    if you're doing it for money or fame,
    don't do it.
    if you're doing it because you want women in your bed,
    don't do it.
    if you have to sit there and rewrite it again and again,
    don't do it.
    if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
    don't do it.
    if you're trying to write like somebody else,
    forget about it.

    if you have to wait for it to roar out of you,
    then wait patiently.
    if it never does roar out of you,
    do something else.

    if you first have to play it to your wife
    or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
    or your parents or to anybody at all,
    you're not ready.

    don't be like so many producers,
    don't be like so many thousands of
    people who call themselves producers,
    don't be dull and boring and
    pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
    love.

    unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket,
    unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder,
    don't do it.
    unless the sun inside you is burning your gut,
    don't do it.

    when it is truly time, and if you have been chosen,
    it will do it by itself and it will keep on doing it
    until you die or it dies in you.

    There is no other way.

    and there it never was.

    Karma means " Action - Reaction, Cause - Effect "
    But this Karma only binds you When You take responsibility of Actions happened through your Body.. Once you know that You have No personal choice of Action, No Free Will, Everything happens by itself.. Then You become Free from This Bondage of Causality

    Then Karma doesn't binds you anymore.. Whatever Actions happen through you after that.. They will create NO RESULT ( No Action-Reaction ) !! Your Life Journey comes to an End.. No Re-Birth.. Nothing
    In most cases.. You attain Enlightenment.

    One cent from me: If a person is poor it doesn't mean that this poor person is a good musician. :no:

    i would rather have fun and knowledge about music/audio than be a rich idiot.

    you dont need talent to get rich and famous. when you are famous you do not create products, you ARE the product.

    their lives are not real anyway, they are there to make people want their life. in reality people do not live like that, instead they enjoy things like family and friends. who needs mansions and yachts anyway???

    Thanks all for your interesting comments. A good idea will be to try to get hire for performing techno live acts, which I always wanted to do.
    This will be a good way to promote my music and adapt to people expectations.
    I have already got in touch with several local radios but they fucking don't care. They say they want to promote local artists but that's pure bullshit...in my case.
    In France, you can get state allowances to help new artist but you must be a half-pro artist to get it, a shame.
