TEM161: Brazilian Blowout Certified Salon

But what if everyone is certified?

***Today's featured Patreon patron is Keith Bjorklund of Bjorklund Reedworks. Check out that link for an example of an effective website, a really good logo and also a great landing page to announce his 2019 Reed Camp.***

What You'll Learn:

  • When you solve problems for people they will always give you money
  • How Sola Salons solves many problems for hair stylists, the fascinating selling points they use to pitch them and how we as musical entrepreneurs can learn from them
  • Why the sheer number of salons that are "Brazilian Blowout Certified" means it is not a very effective differentiator (and how us musicians fall into that same trap)
  • Make sure you are going against the grain with your marketing and not with the 99%

What You'll Learn:

  • Why Matt doing so many musical things so well is actually a marketing challenge for him

  • The value of having the audacity to think that you might make it big
  • The fantasies about the music business you have to cut through in order to succeed

  • The proper balance of short-term strategies and long-term strategies and how the proportion of the two should change according to your age and where you are in life
  • Why he decided to release his first album of songs after he turned 40
  • How the barriers to creation and distribution being drastically lowered means that much more competition
  • The seismic shift that the music business has recently experienced and why there is another one coming
