David Hooper joins us to day to share ways comedians might market themselves based on what he know from the music business. in 2013 David released his book, "Six-Figure Musician - How to Sell More Music, Get More People to Your Shows, and Make More Money in the Music Business”.
Hooper hosts Music Business Radio, a syndicated, weekly,
one-hour specialty program spotlighting the inside workings of the
music business. David interviews various industry
professionals giving listeners their music business insights and
expertise. The wide-ranging guest list includes Grammy Award
winning music producers, artists, musicians, and songwriters, as
well as record label executives, promoters, and artist
managers.
It’s for that very reason that I asked David to share some of

gain a following.
During our brainstorming session he reveals a lot of great actionable tips, including:
- How demographics play a role in product choice
