On this episode, I hang out with producer, brand strategist, professional YouTuber, award winning creative marketing specialist, and the founder of SellMusic.com Adam Ivy, who talks about some REAL truths for indie artists and songwriters.
Adam has grown his YouTube channel to over 300K subscribers by helping independent musicians, artists and brands make impact with their music. He shares a wealth of knowledge on how to navigate the music scene, while staying true to yourself and what you love.
Key Takeaways:
- Be Yourself: You’re not for everyone, and that’s totally fine. Surround yourself with people who lift you up.
- Look for Opportunities: God’s got opportunities lined up for you; you just need to spot them.
- Keep the Passion: Don’t let making music feel like a chore. Remember why you started and keep that excitement alive.
- Work Smarter: Use your time wisely. Focus on real productivity, not just being busy. “So many times we step over dollars to pick up dimes.”
- Make Use of What You Have: Use what you’ve got until it helps you get what you want.
- Build Your Reputation: Keep putting in the work to get better and make an impact. "Your repetition builds your reputation!"
- Protect Your Time: Focus on what’s really moving your family, business, and life forward. Don’t chase too many goals at once.
- Enjoy the Ride: The journey is the fun part, so make sure you enjoy it!
And so much more!
I have personally learned so much from Adam on my own music journey and it was an honor to get to sit down and talk.
I know you will get so much from this conversation that you will help you on your own journey.
