PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER March 25, 2026 Hey there, Profitable Musician! Picture this: you get an email from a music supervisor who is interested in licensing one of your songs for a new show. Exciting, right? But then the stress kicks in. Where are the files she needs like the final master, the backing track and the stems? You start hunting through folders that are all over the place. Maybe you have some files on your desktop, others on Google Drive, some on your phone. You open...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION March 20, 2026 Happy FEM Music Friday! Have you ever had a collaboration that started out exciting and slowly turned uncomfortable? Most musicians have. At first everything feels right. Someone shares an idea, you start trading voice memos, the song begins to take shape and there's that spark you get when two creative people are actually clicking. It feels like something bigger is happening than what either of you could have pulled off alone. And then...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER March 18, 2026 Hey there, Profitable Musician! Let me ask you something. How many songs are sitting on your hard drive right now? Not the ones you already released. The other ones. The voice memo you recorded at 11pm because the melody wouldn't leave you alone. The lyrics you came up with on your walk that are half-typed in a Notes app. The demo from two years ago you kept meaning to revisit. The track that was almost there and then just... got buried. Be...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION March 13, 2026 Happy FEM Music Friday! Today, no mincing words, no pleasantries... Sometimes life just kicks the SHOUT out of you. I know I am not the only one feeling it right now. This was a big topic of conversation on our FMA call last week. A lot of people feel disoriented and disillusioned. A little discouraged. Wondering if anything they do actually makes a difference. When the world feels complicated, it is easy to start thinking our small...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER March 11, 2026 Hey there, Profitable Musician! I heard a speaker say something recently that made the whole room laugh. He said, “99.9 percent of the world is already unsubscribed from your fan email list.” As Homer Simpson points out in his oh-so-quotable way, "It's funny! It's funny because it's true." Most of us have been trained to feel protective about our email lists. Every time someone unsubscribes there is that little sting. Did I say something...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION March 6, 2026 Happy FEM Friday! This Sunday, March 8, is International Women's Day. I have to admit, until this year, I didn't realize there was an annual theme for International Women's Day. But when I decided to focus this newsletter around it, I discovered that the 2026 theme is a perfect fit for what we do at Profitable Musician and Women of Substance. This year’s theme, "Give To Gain", is all about reciprocity, emphasizing action, generosity, and...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER March 4, 2026 Hey there, Profitable Musician! March is Women's History Month, and it's got me thinking about how many women were taught, implicitly and in some cases explicitly, that a creative calling is not a realistic option and more like a pipe dream. Not forbidden exactly. Just optional. Something to fit in around the edges. Something to be practical about. And that if you want it badly enough that it keeps you up at night...you might be a little...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION February 27, 2026 Happy FEM Friday! You know that feeling. You open a new document. The cursor blinks. The page stares back at you. And instead of words, what shows up is the weight of starting from scratch, with the whole project still in front of you. Write the captions. Map out the launch. Plan the content. Figure out what to even say. For musicians, that blank page isn't just annoying. It's one of the biggest reasons consistency breaks down. Not...
