Hey Reader, Something funny happened last week that left me thinking about marketing—and how most musicians get it completely backward. I was explaining to my fiance how my scale is showing me the amount of body weight, muscle mass etc. He then asked me: His question stunned me a little. I paused and replied: We laughed about it, but then it got me thinking 🤔 I couldn't care less about how the scale works. All I care about is the result and outcome I'm getting from it. That’s the exact mindset shift that turned my music side hustle into a full-time business 💸 Let me explain below ⬇️ SPONSORED BYLANDR | The all-in-one platform for music producersThis is my go-to platform for everything related to music production. Imagine having access to samples, plugins, AI mastering, music distribution, online courses, and collaboration tools — all for less than $0.50 a day. They basically has everything you need to create and release your music. Here's a sneak peek as to what LANDR Studio offers: Including my newest sample pack - Lucid Dreams - a dreamy lo-fi sample pack made of lush melodies, arps and pads. Perfect for lo-fi and hip-hop productions! 🌃 People don’t want features. They want results.Most musicians think that to sell their beats, lessons, services, or sample packs, they have to talk about everything they’ve included.
But here’s the truth: No one buys because of features. They buy because of outcomes ✨ Just like I didn’t care how the scale worked - your audience doesn’t care how many gigabytes are in your sample pack. They care about what it does for them.
If your offer doesn't clearly answer that, you’re making it 10x harder to get paid. Sell the transformation, not the toolkit.This is one of the first things I teach inside the MusiCreator Academy because it’s the key to selling your music offers without begging people to care. Most musicians build an offer by stacking features - thinking that more = better. But it’s not about cramming more modules into your course or adding extra loops into your pack. It’s about positioning your offer around the result it helps your customer/client or student achieve. That’s how you stand out in a crowded market. Let me give you a quick example. Let’s say you’re selling mixing services. You could say: “I offer 3 revisions and 24-hour delivery with analog saturation.” Or you could say: “I’ll make your track release-ready so it sounds as pro as the artists you admire - without you having to spend 10 hours trying to fix it yourself.” Which one do you think sells? (Exactly.) You’re not selling music. You’re selling a better future.That’s the shift. When you stop selling what your product is and start selling what it does, everything changes. ✅ Your messaging becomes clearer. It’s not just about making content or learning how to market - it’s about building a music business that helps people and pays you well. So if you're tired of pouring your heart into your art only to hear crickets when you talk about your music services or products… This shift might be exactly what you need! In SummaryStop selling the “how.” Start selling the result. You don’t have to explain every module, preset, or plugin. You just need to answer one question clearly: “What’s in it for them?” If you’re ready to start building a real income around your music - without sleazy sales tactics - I’d love to help you inside MusiCreator.

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....
