http://www.TheSparkAndTheArt.com/12 - This week’s interview is with Chris Seth Jackson of [HowToRunABand.com][1] but what we’ll learn is how after about 4 years of providing great content and value to musicians he’s decided to move on to a new venture.
We talk about why he’s made that decision as well as many other topics like:
- The importance of money.
- The importance of multiple streams of income.
- Finding the balance between original songs and cover music.
- MVPs (minimum Viable Products) and building a business based on
solving a problem rather than building a full solution and hoping
people buy it after and how that relates to funding albums.
Chris also mentions a book called Die Empty - [Check Out The Book][2]
We also talk briefly about his podcast Work Hard, Rock Harder where he interviews musicians who make their living solely as a musician. - [Listen Here][3]
Chris also shared a link to his new automated gig booking service. So, if you are a musician and would like someone to help manage the booking of your shows for you be sure to [follow this link][4] for more information (The price is very, very, reasonable):
