Its More Than Swagger

"Swagger" is important to urban music. However, don't let "swagger" keep your music career at a standstill. YOU NEED FANS!! You may be the hottest singer, rapper, performer, etc. in the game but you will never be able to make money in the music business without fans.

Music Marketing is about attracting fans - getting more people to come to your performances, buy your CD's, and tell other people about you. Also take note that you must go out and build fans, sitting up on MySpace adding people all day and never getting out in the world is not going to build genuine fans. Get involved in as many showcases, talent shows, etc. that allow you to showcase your talent. I'll say it again: People have to SEE you perform and LIKE you enough to BUY your music and TELL other people about you
