i’ve taught my wife to do all the management/personal assistant stuff over the past year, and she gets 100% of my royalties 😉 sounds like a pretty good deal to me
I've been doing this for years, and I was self-managed. I did hire a manager, but he's my best friend and my business partner, which is exactly what you said. So this is amazing content, and you definitely do quality information.
Videos are insane, book was worth every dollar, it’s crazy you’re giving this game and you’ve already made it. Thank you and please keep doing these + day in the life vids
What do I want to be when I grow up as an artist? I want to be just like you Nic D! 😊I don’t want to play gigs and tour or be rich and famous! I want to be able to grow my catalog, make a living as an artist and spend time with my family as well. My biggest challenge is finding my niche as a Brazilian artist living in the USA and creating content around it without sounding too desperate! 😂 I’ve been listening to your podcast, and watching your videos and I appreciate your humbleness and willingness to share all the knowledge you acquired during your journey as an independent artist! I’ll let you know when I get there! In the meantime, thanks for all the good stuff your are sharing! ❤
The book is 100% worth the buy, loved the self read audio version too. Listened to it like 3 times while reading along. Can't believe some one so successful in the industry is taking the time to do so much teaching. Awesome stuff
I think you are more of a businessman than a musician 🤔 I wish I was more like you. I suffer bad adhd. That’s great for hyper focus when it comes to music making but terrible for taking care of business. I forget too many important things and lose focus. I need help with the whole social media thing and someone to push me.
Mate, you clearly didn't watch the video. If you did you'll know he didn't rule out a well connected manager. That manager would clearly be justifying his wages and that's absolutely spot on!
Thanks so much for such gems, ive bench watched all your vids, i love how authentic and down to earth your videos are! As a new Christian artist this has helped a ton!
You might have covered this before but who do you use as a distribution company? Been weighing pros and cons but I am aiming to follow your path of releases and content and curious as to what works best for you.
Hey Nic love your content! So much value🙏🏼 Question could you make a video on how to get actually good at recording songs like you do. Maybe tips and tricks? I know it’s about doing the thing everyday but maybe you have other tips that we could benefit from. Thanks 😁
Great stuff as always 🔥 can you touch on how to deal with negative comments ? Been getting lot of hate on TikTok which won’t deter me, but definitely isn’t a great feeling
Great advice Nick. 👍😊 Hope I can get your book on Audio❓ Send me a link. I love to learn whilst having to do Boring Jobs in the kitchen etc. So excited about your true story of success. Your very talented and have a great business mind. 🤯🧠 Perfection is overrated, so I love your mindset. You have proved anything is possible. 👍♥️💭 Living with two singer/songwriters/musicians 🇬🇧 I feel they are wasting their talents. Songs gathering dust. 🎶🎵 If only I could sing and play an instrument, lol 😭🤣 Maybe, one day I will get to collaborate with other artists to make education kinder and support Artists of the future. Imagine a Home Educated young person being allowed to learn from you and earn money like you. I would love to see that happen. ♥️
I have a bunch of demos in the works. I used splice to create them and have lyrics written. I am struggling to find a producer to bring them to live, they are rough demos with no beats or bass. Can’t seem to find a producer that o vibe with on fiver, where can I find one?

I think Nic is very self aware 💯
haha, im here starting as a music manager in 2024. lets rock
You rock! So glad the dude followed called you out so I found you and your information. So much more aligned towards AI music creators like myself.

Cool Anne, if you need guitar, male vocals.. write me I can record it at my home.
Mix/Mastering also I can do.
Best wishes from Poland.
Thanks!
I just wanted to copy and paste your comment. Same here as a Brazilian living in the UK making music in Portuguese.

Great minds think alike. I greatly appreciate the inspiration and knowledge per usual ❤

a powerful connected manager in the industry can change a lot of things and bring funding

Wat camera do u use for your music content u post on tik tok

I think Matty Beats would be perfect for you
❤❤❤💎💎💎❤❤❤
whats the mic u use on ur shirt? if anyone knows. blessings
If I wanted a manager I’d work at Taco Bell.
lol facts
😂 aha lol
Aye Nic... how much money do you think you've saved by not having to pay a manager 20% of your earnings?
I just don’t do enough okay 😂
if you don't have anything to manage then no
Most artists don’t
@@frdiforartists agreed
So sad that I cannot buy the book with my Russian card. Can someone sell me the pdf for crypto or something?
Я в америке бро. 30$ нет пока. Я б тебе скинул. Есть инста, фб..? Нема вконтакте и телеги у меня
@@LedgerLiner Было бы круто! Давай переведу тебе. Хотел постучатсья к тебе в ФБ но почему-то твой профиль не открывается
@@fillzyvoltron dobavil na fb bro

I can't wait to see what you come up with next, keep surprising us!
Facts
All situational. But totally agreed for us indie artists. Another great 💎 here folks. 🫡 Nic.
Not at the moment 😂
