How to handle your customer base
Instructor: @suddensmoke1
I want to share tips on how I bill and what have noticed about artists over the years . . . see, there's something always about your customer base, let's look at it this way, if u build customer base around 10k per track, it will take you years to move to 30k per track and why is because, by the nature of our job, clients bring clients, so if u work for Paul for 10k, Paul will bring his friend peter, peter will most likely have the same financial status as Paul because they are friends, highest peter will pay is 13k or even beg u with 8k, so peter will bring Thomas and it will go on and on, if u work for Paul for 150k, Paul can never bring peter to come and pay 50k, Paul cant have a type of peter that will pay 50k as a friend., so it goes on and on . . that's one point
Another point is that, package your self well, u can try to ask for help from a rich man, tell the man u have 1 million and ask for 200k, he may gladly give u, but ask same rich many for 50k wen u don't have anything, he may end up giving u 15k, so package yourself well, don't let artists see you as desperate, if the see u as hungry, they ask for free or give 10k as if they are doing you favour, so, don't ever look hungry, dress well, look fresh, look like you deserve even more than what your charging.
Also, if u have a studio, package it well, as in very well, post pics of your neatly arranged studio online always, post pics of activities going on in the studio, people like where things are happening, it will bring good clients
This is heaven.
