Barter and trade. Why some shouldn't...

This advice I gave to a frustrated music artist that wanted to trade her potential music career success for studio time and music producing services now. It was great that she had alot of confidence in her own talents but I suggested something different....

"The problem with barter and trade is that know one gets paid and people have families to feed and bills to pay. A music career takes way more money than the purchase of music and studio time. In order for anyone to begin making money there has to be CDs manufactured (designed, packaged, duplicated. etc.) marketing, advertising, touring, etc. all which involve a serious amount of money.

I suggest instead of barter and trading that artists open a saving account specifically for thier music career needs and deposit a set amount every pay check. Also, if you get an income tax return, invest it in your music career. Artists can also raise buying power by forming groups as opposed to be a solo artists. The group can then pool money in order to pay for things needed such as studio time.

Form a good relationship with a producer to see if they are a good fit for you and your music. Someone that believes in your talent and that knows you can go far in the music industry. The point is to form lasting relationships with them because you will probably be working together on several projects. These relationships are not "one project stands", lol.

Being as prepared as you can be before you go to the studio also saves money. Before you go, know the arrangement and how/ what you are going to sing. Have everyone on the same page and ready to do thier part!

I hope this helps someone. The bottom line is that we are all struggling but we need to invest money into each other in order to build and prosper. If you love music and this is the career for you, then make the neccessary sacrifices. In the end people will respect and appreciate your efforts."
