When you make a hit song and the money starts rolling in, the integrity of you and your team will be put on the line. When you gain traction and momentum, your phone will start ringing nonstop. All of a sudden, everyone will want to jump on the bandwagon and be part of your success. People who you probably never thought you’d be in contact with, will start reaching out to you, hoping to get a piece of the small fortune that you are about to accumulate. People will try to pull you in every direction possible, so it’s best that you and your team stay grounded. Don’t make yourself so easily accessible either. This is the audio version of Chapter 14 from my book "How To Make It In The Music Business: Using Social Media Marketing To Build A Large Following".

How can you make money with your music video besides monetizing it on YouTube? That's the question that every artist wants to know! In this video, I give you several proven techniques that you can apply, which will help you generate extra revenue from your music video productions. Product placement is a great way to generate revenue through your music video. You can promote products in your video, and then sell those products, using links in your music video description. Sponsorship is also another option. There are plenty of companies who will pay to produce your music videos, if you promote their products in your music video. A popular music video that goes viral, with millions of views can also lead to you getting booked to perform at live shows and events. Touring revenue usually makes up for a large majority of any artist's income. A successful and well put together tour can easily generate millions of dollars, if not tens and hundreds of millions. I also answer the question, "Is it a good idea for an artist to allow random videographers to shoot content for them, or should you own and control all of your video content?". The answer to this question is, preference. In the digital age, it is wise to have as much content online as possible. That is my opinion on the question. Feel free to leave your thoughts on this question and any other topic that I discuss in this video. Make sure you subscribe and thanks for watching.

In this video I talk about drug use in the entertainment and creative community. Many authors, musicians, producers, directors and professionals in various creative industries, use drugs to help them create and come up with ideas. Some drugs can help expose the mind to new thoughts and ideas that one may not have come up with, while sober. Drug use in moderation is acceptable in some cases, but when you abuse drugs, the results can be fatal. This week, upcoming emo rapper Lil Peep died of an apparent Xanax overdose. I talk about some of the most successful artists and their drug usage such as Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemmingway, Charles Dickens, Future, Kurt Cobain, Whitney Houston, Pimp C, Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, Wiz Khalifa, Stitches, Snoop Dogg, Philip Seymour Hoffman, ASAP Yams, 2 Chainz and more. If you are suffering with drug addiction and need someone to talk to, call the 24 Hour Helpline at 1-(800)-420-9064.

Sometimes, people get lucky. When you are lucky, it's a real blessing. Luck may play a factor, in your success in life. Unexpected blessings and good luck is what we all hope for. In this video, I talk about why I never depend on luck as my primary plan of success. Luck often comes to those who put themselves in lucky situations. Sitting at home and waiting for luck to come to you is not a wise choice, if you plan to prosper.
