If I had one year to go full time with music, these are the 7 habits I would start right away 👇🏼
[But first, save this post and comment ‘100k’ to access my FREE 100k challenge that will help you gain 100k followers and 500k streams in 2026]
1. Make a plan for how you’ll earn money from music. Write down every way you could do it, like merch, a store, shows, sync, or teaching, because streams alone won’t pay your rent.
2. Open a store, even if you start with only one product. You find out what your fans will pay for only after you give them something to buy.
3. Build your own website, so fans have one place where they can find your music, your store, and your email list.
4. Learn how to use AI for the work around your music, like building your website, writing captions, or planning your content. That way you don’t need to pay for a lot of tools in your first year.
5. Send 3 DMs every day to other artists, producers, curators, or people in the industry. After a year, that’s over 1,000 conversations, and some of them will turn into collaborations or paid work.
6. Test how you can earn money from your skills, like mixing for other artists, producing, teaching lessons, or making content for brands. That money buys you more time for your own music.
7. Release a new song every 4 to 6 weeks and post every day. The store, the website, and the DMs all work better when more people know your music.
