These are some of the basic foundation rules you should follow if you’re an artist and want to reach your goals in the music industry.
1. Have a passion for what you do and believe in yourself.
We believe that successful people have a passion for what they do and believe in themselves. If you don’t love what you’re doing, then consider a career change. Far East Movement did it for the love of the game, and look where they’re at now. Never do something for the money. Do something because you have a passion for it. Follow your passion. And the money, fame and success will follow you.
2. Market yourself and advertise as much as you can
With the modern day and age of technology, everyone is utilizing the power of social networking. What are you doing to put put yourself out there? For starters, make sure you build yourself an identity on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Update these sites as much as possible to keep your fans and followers up to date on what you’re up to. Next, make sure you write a detailed biography of who you are and what you do. Getting the word out there is key. Don’t forget to make take nice photos! Oh, and make graphics, fliers, and videos too!

Meet new people and exchange phone numbers with other important people with the same interest. Cross promote and do collaborations with other artists! This way, some of the other artist’s fans may become your fan too.
