Greg Wilnau, host of the Musician Monster
podcast, joins me this episode. We talk about the Musician Monster
website, which is a treasure trove of free resources, branding your
music and making more money as a performing artist and more.
Greg Wilnau has been on my radar for quite some time. He is a working musician and a musician mentor. He’s all about helping other musicians make it and in Greg’s eyes making it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with fame. He and I have a lot in common as you will hear, so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
Episode Highlights
We begin by talking about his experience at the DIY Musician Conference and go on to discuss:
- The importance of mentors and how they affect your progression
- His 5-step plan to become self-sufficient
- His top suggestion to musicians wanting to make more money
- How he got involved with the Profitable Musician Summit
- Branding tips for musicians
- How to overcome plateaus in your business
- Collaborating with other musicians
3 Key Points
- Transform your thinking and you’ll transform your business.
- Focus on adding value. The money will come.
- Get out of task-mode and focus on the overarching goal.
