Home Page - Music Industries Association Welcome to MusicTank — MusicTank Hot Glue.org Get Into The Music Business – Top 10 Mistakes by Tom Hess If you want to become successful in the music industry, there are many things you need to know and do. But even if you get all that right, you can prevent yourself from reaching big success by making critical mistakes along the way (and there are many potential mistakes one could make, when not being careful). Mistake #10 - Not having a compelling image that is congruent with your music. Mistake #9 - Trying to ‘get your name out there’. Mistake #8 – Believing that social media websites are the keys to online music promotion for musicians and bands. Mistake #7 - Not investing enough time into building your music career. Mistake #6 - Surrounding yourself with people who are negative, lazy and lack ambition. Mistake #5 – Having merely mediocre live performing skills. Mistake #4 - Focusing on increasing the ‘quantity’ of fans instead of the ‘intensity’ of your fans. Mistake #3 – Not enough cash flow to support your music career.

How to: Get a job in the music industry - The Big Music Project Very few industries are more exciting to work in than the music industry. We’re not saying that it is all glitz and glamour – it’s hard work, more so now than ever! We know that it isn’t always easy to get your foot in the door of the industry – but it is possible. First and foremost, it is important to be clear about the role you want within the industry and work towards the skills required to fulfil it. Proving that you have the enthusiasm to learn more and adapt in an industry which is constantly changing and innovating will also help. Like any other industry, the record industry wants to recruit and retain the very best talent from within the worlds of digital, marketing, A&R, communications, sales, and much more. There is no magic formula for getting that dream job, but you can help yourself along the way. 1. Don’t just say that you want to work in the music industry – identify the skills you have and the way in which you could apply those to a job in the business. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
