โ Hi Reader ๐ค In this week's newsletter, I cover topics including:
MAIN TOPICI hired a second team member!Until now, PLV Music has always been a two-women show: me and my amazing video editor, Lucero. But as the business grows, Iโve hit a wall. Client emails. Invoicing. Scheduling content. Updating the websiteโฆ All these little backend tasks are eating up my music-making time - and honestly, my energy too. So last week, I made a big move: ๐ I hired a Digital Business Manager. Think of it as a Virtual Assistant on steroids! Her role will be to:
With all these tasks out of my hands, I will have more time to solely focus on the creative and strategic work such as making music, filming videos or coaching my students ๐ค Right now, Iโm in the โdipโ (you know, investing time + money with no ROI yet), but Iโm trusting the process. Because if this works, it could free up at least 10 hours of my week โ and thatโs huge!! Iโll keep you posted on how it goes but if you're building your own music business too, I hope this gives you some ideas on how to grow smart and avoid burnout. If you are interested in outsourcing tasks, here are some questions to ask yourself:
Everything that you listed above should be done by someone else, not you! Your zone of genius is making music and making videos for online visibility - not invoicing clients, tracking payments and designing thumbnails. Outsource these other tasks as soon as you can! ๐ VIDEO OF THE WEEKHow I Make High-Quality Videos To Stand Out Online (As A Music Producer)Many people ask me how I make such professional quality videos. Last week, I published a video that walk you through the exact frame I use to make high-quality videos online. In order to grow your fanbase, you need to stand out - and that starts by making scroll stopping videos online!

Hey Reader, A few months ago, I could barely run for 1 minute straight. But after a few months of training, I finally ran a 5K! And weirdly, it taught me a lot about building a music business too. Before starting to run, I read tips. Watched videos. Saved running plans. Asked my running friends for advice. But the real lessons came when I actually started running. I kept cramping mid-run until I realized I was drinking too much water during the runs. Something no blog post warned me about....
Hey Reader, When I first started this music business, I was wondering: ๐ญ โHow can I make sales while I sleep?โ ๐ญ โHow can I find the right customers or clients for my music services and products?โ ๐ญ โHow can I get email subscribers?โ But after 2 years of trial and error, I discovered that the real magic wasn't in any single tactic - it was in building systems that worked together - for you, even while you sleep. Systems that made growth inevitable, not accidental. Today: โ My email list grew...
