How is it possible to compete with major record labels and streaming platforms as an independent artist using the methods in Fanbase Explosion?
It's simple - the business models of record labels, distribution, online stores and streaming platforms were never designed to benefit artists.
If you simply bypass them all and market directly to new potential fans, you stand to make a much larger chunk of income because you aren't surrendering massive percentages of your revenue to entities that don't really help you get customers for yourself.
This advantage allows you to harness the power of advertising to build your own audience on your own platform.
Once you are able to convert a large enough percentage of your audience into customers, the ads you run can pay for themselves many times over, allowing you to reinvest your profits and create a Fan Feedback Loop that rapidly grows your audience in an automated way.
I've been burned before by people claiming to be music marketing professionals. Why should I trust you?
Fanbase Explosion is not a methodology designed by music industry middlemen looking to make a quick buck off of you, promising the world but delivering little but hot air and vanity social media metrics you can't pay your bills with like likes, plays and followers.
It's not a service and it's not about getting press, exposure, prestige, or any of the things that you might think will help you but rarely end up actualy helping you.
I developed it because I am an artist myself who struggled for decades to find a no-nonsense online marketing method that actually works for driving sales and getting customers.
I stand behind this claim with my F-Bomb Guarantee (explained below).
There is no risk to try it out.
If you're not happy with the information you get, simply request a refund via email within 14 days and I'll happily return your money.
You could easily spend a thousand times the cost of this book on publicity services or other kinds of music marketing scheme and wind up even more confused and disappointed with little to no results to show for it.
Not so with Fanbase Explosion!
You won't find this quality of comprehensive information anywhere else in the entire music industry.
What if I don't have enough money to run ads?
Running ads is not expensive in the beginning and can be better than free once they gain traction and start producing sales.
We test audiences out at $1 per day each to find out how well they work.
We only increase the budgets of ads that produce a return.
If you aren't wiling to risk $1 to $3 per day on ads to find potential new fans and customers, then Fanbase Explosion is not for you.
It doesn't teach "organic" social media marketing tactics or strategies. It's all about paid traffic because that's what allows you to create the Fan Feedback Loop and grow your fanbase rapidly without spending a ton of time doing grueling manual labor on social media platforms.
Grinding away on organic strategies can burn you out and take too much time away from making music, performing, or enjoy life with your family because you're trading time for money.
That said, you still need some cash to run ads so if you're really hurting that bad financially, don't buy the book!
Get a job first so you have enough money to run your initial ad tests and optimize your conversions without worrying about going broke.
Fanbase Explosion is not for "starving artists" who won't stand in their value and aren't even resourceful enough to make small investments into growing their careers.
What if I'm talented but I don't have enough fans yet or I don't know how to monetize my fanbase?
Fanbase Explosion was written specifically for driven artists who either don't have enough fans or who don't know how to monetize their fanbase effectively.
If that's you, you will benefit immensely from reading the book.
Does the book cover how to succeed on Spotify?
No. As you will come to understand from reading the book, I do not recommend you base your career growth on getting royalties from Spotify plays.
While it is possible to eventually get sizable royalty checks by focusing on streaming, the problem with this approach is that you're essentially just building other people's businesses instead of your own.
There is a better, faster way that pays you orders of magntiude more in the long run than using traditional methods involving distribution services, broadcasting, royalties and licensing.
Most musicians have no idea that this better, faster way even exists.
This far superior way of building a music career is exactly what I explain in this book and it has very little to do with using any streaming platforms.
What if I'm not interested in making money with music and I'm just a hobbyist? Will this method still work?
No. Fanbase Explosion is only for musicians who want to become true professionals, not hobbyists or amateurs.
This means building a functional business with paying customers instead of doing it just to have fun, become an object of attention or "sharing the love" but generating no significant income.
There is nothing wrong with being a hobbyist or an amateur, but if you want to become a professional, you need an effective business model.
Most musicians are completely unable to support themselves and their families with their music alone because they don't have the right business model.
Acquiring customers is what Fanbase Explosion is all about.
You can't expect to make anything resembling a full-time income with music unless you build a legitamate business around your music and that isn't going to happen just with talent or by accident.
You need marketable products and systems that can get you fans and customers to be in control of your music career.
If I enjoy the book and want help implementing the strategy, is there a way to work with you in a deeper capacity?
Yes. There are several ways you can work with me in a deeper capacity, depending on your situation.
There are multiple courses I offer that cover how to execute all the little nitty-gritty technical details of how to build the automated digital marketing systems that the book talks about.
Some of these courses include group coaching video calls where you can share your screen interact with me in real time over recorded Zoom calls and get questions answered or help with technical challenges you may run into as you implement.
However, I no longer offer done-for-you services, so if you're looking for the equivalent of a record label service or marketing agency, I'm not your guy.
I train musicians and empower them to succeed. I don't do their marketing for them.
