❄️You are a marketing "special snowflake" (here’s why that matters)

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER October 15, 2025 Hey there, Profitable Musician! I started the Profitable Musician and this newsletter to help you make money from music. And income starts with marketing. But most traditional marketing advice just doesn’t land for musicians. Why? Because music isn’t toothpaste. It’s not a weight-loss program. It’s something far deeper, more personal, and way harder to define. Marketing gurus, especially the "bro" kind, bag on musicians because they can't...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION October 10, 2025 Happy FEM Friday! The first album I ever recorded was while I was pregnant. During my first pregnancy, my daughter was prone to hiccups EVERY SINGLE NIGHT about 2 AM. I would toss and turn and try to go back to sleep, but it never happened. So after nights of lying awake watching my stomach bounce up and down, I started a new routine...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER October 8, 2025 Hey there, Profitable Musician! In my early years as a singer/songwriter, I was writing a lot. I was probably writing one or two new songs each week because I was bursting with inspiration and ideas. I wanted to get my songs in front of people who could give me constructive feedback. I also wanted to enter them into contests and promote them to other artists and sync libraries. But my demos sounded terrible! No one was going to take them...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION October 3, 2025 Happy FEM Music Friday! If you have been hearing a lot of "no" lately, I want you to know there is nothing wrong with you or your dream. Every artist I know has experienced plenty of nos on their way to more yeses (including me). What changes the experience is not begging harder or shrinking smaller. It is a subtler but stronger shift. You begin asking as the version of you who expects good to happen and moves as if it already is. I call...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER October 1, 2025 Hey there, Profitable Musician! Since we're headed into the home stretch for 2025 and today is the start of Q4, you probably expected me to talk about financial stuff today, right? While it is true that Q4 is often the most lucrative for artists, especially if you do a lot of Holiday gigs or run Black Friday promos, here's the thing... Leading up to Q4, I've already talked a lot about this stuff. If you've noticed, I try to help you be...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION September 26, 2025 Happy FEM Music Friday! Before you read another word... bring to mind the last time someone told you your song meant something to them. Maybe they said it got them through a hard week. Maybe they whispered that it helped them feel less alone. Maybe they messaged you at midnight to say your lyric changed the way they saw their story. Hold that memory for a moment... In this issue 🥽Money Matters, But This Matters More 🛠️Ladies...WOS...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER September 24, 2025 Hey there, Profitable Musician! Just like many of you, I struggled for a long time to get my music heard. But for me, it wasn’t just about streams or sales. It was about the message behind the music. A message I believed could change lives. That urgency hit a whole new level when I spent 13 days in the hospital, unsure if I’d recover from a brutal autoimmune flare. Suddenly, getting my message-driven music to the right people wasn’t...

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN: FEM FRIDAY EDITION September 19, 2025 Happy FEM Friday! Every time I open Instagram these days, I feel like I get slapped in the face by an ad. “I’m making six figures from my music — you can too!”“You’re just one funnel away from blowing up as a musician.” You know the ones. Big promises. Loud flexing. Flashy car or mansion in the background. Bro energy dialed up to 11. And it’s been getting old for a long time. But finally the general culture is catching up to my...
