For Meri Amber, finding a music niche was natural. Growing up wanting to be in the girl band, Bewitched, she drew inspiration from the American Comic Con scene. Her music is a mix between bright pop with 90s punk rock and is inspired by Comic Con, Dr. Who, Lego and more. She writes, records, self publishes, and performs everything on her own and has even made music for video games.

A virtual assistant for musicians is something I am often asked about. As a musician and entrepreneur, it can be demanding to balance the technical and administrative side of business with the musical and creative side. This is why I think a virtual assistant for musicians is a great idea. This week, I am talking with my assistant about how to find a great virtual assistant and what to outsource. A virtual assistant is someone who works remotely to provide business support to entrepreneurs and business owners.

Are you a solo artist who is stuck because you feel like you need a band to perform and share your music? Today, I am going to tell you why you need to stop looking for a band and what you can do to feel more comfortable onstage. I see so many musicians struggling around the stages of career growth and where they need to focus their time and energy. If you are finding yourself questioning your progression through the career stages, join me on March 30th at 9 am PST (12 pm EST) for the Musician’s Profit Path Masterclass. You will gain a clear understanding on what stage you are in, where you will advance to next, what to focus on and what to stop wasting your money on. Many musicians insecure performing solo onstage. Lack of confidence around their instrument of choice or the ability to sing and play well enough to carry a show are limiting beliefs that hold artists back. Why you need to stop looking for a band: What should be focused on is practicing. We’ve all heard the phrase, “practice makes perfect.” This couldn’t be more true for all the struggling musicians out there. Try setting a goal to practice for an hour each day for a month. Practice singing and playing your instrument. Perform for family and friends so you can get comfortable with people watching you. If you see an improvement after 30 days, go ahead and start booking yourself some gigs. Since most gigs are booked in advance, there will be plenty of time for more practice before the big performance. Ways to make your performance unforgettable: Being a solo artist can be isolating and lonely. It’s common to yearn for the comradery of a band but looking for the right band isn’t always the right choice. With a little bit of practice and imagination, you can transform your attitude about performing solo onstage from insecurity to confidence.   ABOUT HOST BREE NOBLE

I was so excited to meet with Andrea Hamilton this past week! Andrea is a pop singer/songwriter who’s dedicated to her church and healthy eating. Currently, music is her sole source of income, whether it is through music licensing, creating music for her church or live performances. Creating music with a message has always been a source of self expression for her. Andre and I met a while back in a workshop and it’s been so great to see how far she has come in her career. When I first met her she was still in college. Since then, she has progressed through the stages of her music career.

When first starting out, Facebook ads can be a great first step in musicians promoting their music. Music promotion services or PR firms should be used when musicians are in the fourth stage of their music career. Fill out the form if you are interested in learning about my strategy in creating Facebook ads. You’ll be the first to hear about the workshop when it becomes available! Using music promotion services is a great idea for people who are in the fourth stage of their music career. This is a time where musicians have had a lot of experience with performing, doing music videos and have a fairly large fanbase. Before musicians get to that point, though, there is an easier (and cheaper) way to promote themselves.   10 reasons why Facebook Ads are a better choice than music promotion services:
