01/25/2018 – I believe that the most successful are those who strive to be the greatest students. Armed with education and knowledge, you can do many powerful things. That’s why I make effort to spend about an hour or so per week to watch (or listen to) something meaningful, helpful, uplifting, or enlightening for my professional career. I’m constantly on the lookout for resources that can help me to advance in my music. In my search to find these resources I came across a few gems that other musicians and artists would get a lot out of. Here they are!

The following webinars offer a great deal of valuable content and inspiration. Most of all, they’re free!

Negotiating Tactics to Get the Pay You Deserve

Ever wonder if you should get more money than contracted for a gig? Ever wonder how to get more money in the future? I know it can be super awkward trying to figure out how to ask for more money for your performances. You don’t want to come off looking selfish. On the other hand, you also want to get what you feel you deserve. There’s also the issue of feeling like you might cause tensions in the relationship if you ask for more money. These are all very natural feelings. This webinar will help you wade through these emotions and come up with some tactics to negotiate better deals, so that you get the recognition you deserve.

Bonus: Pain Relief for Musicians

Although not about music growth hacking, this webinar is still very important! I wanted to throw this webinar in the mix because, well, who doesn’t want to know how to relieve pain, tension, and stress? This webinar is a very informative lesson about how tensions we as musicians hold in our bodies while performing can create adverse effects, i.e. pain. This guy gives great advice on how to relieve those tensions and create a better environment for yourself and your fans while performing live. Watch the webinar here.

These are just a few great resources I found for musicians. There’s a ton more! Share in the comment section – what are your favorites?
