Hey Peter, thanks for the kind words. I currently trying to do 6-7 new videos a week and will be coming out with a lot more resources and tools you can use in the future. Hopefully I can cover what you’re looking for. Always feel free to leave feedback or make suggestions any time!
Almost every music bands now maintains their own website, they upload track and video of their music.
But yes, it is important to promote music. Youtube is a free platform, I don’t want to let the music be free for the audience and it should not be.
I love your tips and research. Thanks for sharing these tips.
