How to Begin Marketing Music in 2023

If you're new to music marketing, it may be hard to figure out which steps to take first in order to build a successful career within the music industry. Truthfully, there are no perfectly laid-out steps that are able to be followed to achieve success - but there are best practices to follow that can help make sure you get as close to your goal as possible.

A great first step would be to determine what you're actually looking to get out of a career in the music industry - is your end goal to work with major artists and be in the spotlight, or is it to make a good amount of money, but to stay out of the public eye? Everyone is different and will have their own unique path to success if they work hard enough to achieve it.

Once you know what you actually want out of your music career, start determining how you're able to make this come to life. Typically, the best way to achieve this is by building a strong brand that’s able to be used in future business situations. Developing a unique and marketable brand is key for acquiring success in the music industry; think JAY-Z, Beyonce, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, etc.

Once you have your goals set and a marketable brand, you're ready to start making business moves. Always make your decisions based on what best aligns with your brand (i.e. your values, mission & vision, etc.), and ensure that every step you take helps you get slightly closer to your end goals.
