    @artistbasm 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    this episodic thing will likely be the best thing u could make. very casey neistat like. the subjects you jumped between, u start talking abt strategy and planning, then u jumped into lighting and depth of field, all while having us hooked about "the right song" concept, this is all simultaneously floating in ur head, and no one sought the answers but you. something that ppl dont see often, if at all. the more ppl see u doing that, the more it'll sink in as a normal & attainable reality, and less preachy like most artist strategy content. this is what an artist business commonly has to look like now, to give the artist their best chance at success. thank u for making this, i hope inspiration drives u to continue making these! hppy holidays :)

I’ve been putting off explaining why I wrote each song for content (which I know I need to do) because it means I need to go back to the experiences 😫. It’s all about mindset and I need to work on that. You have a new subscriber ❤

    Yo Nic, you should consider putting affiliate links for all the gear that you use in your videos (camera's, light's, stand's etc.). I know a lot of independent artists checking this out would love to know what gear you use. Why not provide links to all that gear in your description and make a couple extra bucks while you're at it? That's a win-win to me.
    Just looking out brother, congrats on your success and thank you so much for making this valuable content.

    Again thank you so much for this! I am in a metal band and we are going to be mirroring these concepts. We want to start doing benefit concerts, not really worried about plays but just focusing on simple shorts and our catalog is so simple that I completely overlooked it. Also, bands in my genre spend way too much on mixing/mastering and artwork. Over the last three years I have focused on mixing everything myself, so we can focus our revenue in investing into our own sound system and such. I really appreciate the advise, it's helped me focus on the important things like just simply writing music. Thank you Nic!

      As humans we have natural biases that at times can’t be controlled (it’s a subconscious thing)
      So taking into account (not saying to be fake) how people perceive you, will make things so much more easier.
      It’s a game of perceptions, so subtly directing how people perceive is vital.
      Why do billion/trillion/9figure companies still have to constantly do marketing and advertising, whether it’s direct (through YT/TV) or indirect through content/influencer marketing.
      Marketing is extremely important.
