It’s every musicians dream to be poor and alone. Musicians love to work for someone else doing a task that isn’t worth even classifying as chewing gum for the mind while we spend most of our day away from the thing we truly hate: expressing ourselves through creativity.
To make sure you continue with your failure, here are three things you want to make sure you do or you might have to move on from that job you love so much.
Be “All That”
Make sure you put yourself on a pedestal where people can’t touch you with a 10 foot pole. This will definitely help.
Do not for a moment believe that you are not way above potential fans’ level of consciousness. You want to make sure that people don’t feel like they could interact with you.
Do not become approachable as if you were merely human, as you might find someone talk to you, and if that happens, they may think you’re just a person. You want to make sure you’re looked at as this magical entity called an “artist” as opposed to a person who makes music.
Strive to be a mystery to all those who show even a glimmer of interest.
Stay Just the Way You Are
You were born with the innate knowledge of everything you need to know to become a rock star.
There is no need to be a businessperson, not even a little. To do so would mean that you might have to quit the day job you enjoy so much.
There is absolutely no reason to become educated on ways to grow your following or market yourself so people know you exist. People will find you.
Be aware that your music is so awesome that whenever you play somewhere, everyone driving by, walking on the sidewalk, or eating at the nearby diner will drop their cell phones, put down their pizza, and get out of their car right in the middle of the traffic jam you just caused, so they can find the siren song that has entranced them away from their own lives.
Because of this, you do not need to be savvy in ways of creating awareness that you even exist. Everyone already knows who you are and what you are all about.
Ignore Your Web Presence
My best advice for any “artist” like yourself is to make sure you travel from town to town by foot or bicycle so you can start attracting your 1,000 true fans, that way, they would never see you again and you could never make it back before they moved on to someone more accessible.
Whatever you do, do not concern yourself with most powerful invention geared for connecting people together since the conception of language. That “internet” thing is not for you, and by no means should you utilize it.
If you do this, you might grow a following of people by creating some kind of awareness about who you are and what your all about. They might like you.
In no way, shape, or form, would I suggest things like ZeroToHeroWebPresence.com. Things of that nature would most certainly be devastating to your plan to fail.
