In this fourth coaching session podcast Ryan James Lock continues to coach me on how to market myself and my work, achieving my big goal, looking at my mindset and tackle my limiting beliefs and overcome procrastination. He gives me advice and focus on what I, and thus you, the listening creatives, can do to promote a show, exhibition or event they are working on as part of the selling of their own work. Here are some of the highlights of his advice for moving forward this week (this is not a full transcript) Since I started these coaching sessions I have definitely moved my project forward. Last week’s homework was to do my YouTube video for the single and post it. I have posted it on my blog, facebook etc and now my friends and the world can see my work. Scary but I did it. He also asked me to do at least 30 minutes a day on promoting my project, however I tended to do a few hours one day and then nothing for the next few. I have realised I have 2 other dance songs that I have left on my hard drive – I am now thinking I could eventually release a 3 track dance EP. I play part of one at 8.33 minutes (Sun In The Morning) Janice Smylie – use what is already there, look what else you have. Most of what you want is already there.  Janice Smylie Website We discuss how I successfully create by booking the show, and then HAVING to create and deliver it. However this process of developing a product first and then having to market it afterwards I find very difficult, although the product is often better. Ryan says one has to be careful to  keep on the sidelines, effectively waiting til the product or art is ‘perfect’ Ryan asks about my sense of overwhelm and time issues. I am not even managing the gym routines properly, Ryan said it is natural to have fluctuations in your patterns and it is OK to have this. I talk about not knowing what steps to take next, I don’t know now what to do. I have got through the hurdles of initially contacting some people, I ask what next, do I go knock on doors?  Ryan says I need to understand that there are so many people trying to do things, release a song or a film or show. Don’t be naive and think people will get back to me tomorrow, creatives have the energy, passion to get their product out but don’t expect an immediate response. Mike Dooley said to Ryan ‘Knock on as many doors as you can. When you keep all the energy moving, things have to respond. Get so busy knocking on doors that you don’t have time to hang around and wait for a response.” Ryan agrees that there is no one single thing I can do, I just want to get the song out there and it is frustrating about not having just one door to knock on. Ryan says this sense of ‘I have this book, CD etc to get out there’ and yet you will never know what thing leads to another, the fluidity of life. Mike Dooley had been doing his emails and newsletters for months and then he heard from Rhonda Byrne… who invited him to be part of The Secret documentary, she had been reading his emails for 6 months. Ryan told me to write again a list of what is holding me back for each thing and a step I can take. Ryan’s tips of finding me some viral movement on my Youtube video Londontown video Only add the Youtube video link to my email signature but to the right people Add it to my Facebook profile – Fan page. Marketing research say people like to be told what is the next step of action, so suggest to people they look at my Youtube link. Create some video stills of my video, post it, tag friends and opinion formers (not your mum!), who are right for this project and ask them  engaging questions. Don’t just ask ‘ share please’. Put myself in the consumer shoes, what is in it for them. So tag their names, add the link to Youtube and ask a question that gets a positive answer. Ask an emotive or string image from the video and ask. Maybe ask some friends[...] Londontown, Marketing, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/08/creating-a-next-steps-plan-whilst-talking-marysia-off-the-ledge-ryan-locks-coaching-2/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/08/creating-a-next-steps-plan-whilst-talking-marysia-off-the-ledge-ryan-locks-coaching-2/#comments Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:20:20 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1472 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/08/creating-a-next-steps-plan-whilst-talking-marysia-off-the-ledge-ryan-locks-coaching-2/feed/ 1 0:37:07 Post 45 of Dream, create and make money in the arts.

Ryan continues to coach me and give me further advice and tips. Ryan clearly makes the point that his coaching is not about validating my busy-ness or emotions but about moving my project forward. Ryan has agreed to coach me in this podcast format as what to do when you have a creative product and don’t know the next steps. I have a dance music song ‘Londontown’ and I am clueless on what to do next, I dont know the dance market and there seems an overwhelming amount to do. Ryan talks about my fears and is coaching me over the next few weeks on my next steps which applies to whatever art you are about to start marketing from painting, to a new play or event. Here are some of the highlights (this is not a full transcript) so listen to the show either by clicking on the right pointing arrow above or you can go to iTunes Love Your Creativity podcast channel I reported that I did actually manage to make a Teaser YouTube video for my track, make my Love your Creativity YouTube channel and upload the teaser video. It isn’t perfect but it now exists. He congratulates me on moving forward, even just a bit. I, of course, felt I had to get something done because of knowing that I had to report Ryan and the world. He says one of the best ways to get stuck is to get caught up in perfectionism, you have to get moving. We say things like ‘It’s not ready yet’ and we use that as an excuse to not move forward. Being scared of being rejected is often the reason we never let our art see the light of day. The moment you get a product out the door, you then know if people love it or not. I have set myself a very clear target ideal audience so Ryan has set me the task of finding 3 people I know who fit my ideal audience brief, then take them to coffee and tell them that they are my ideal listener, how I want to attract more people like them and ask where they go clubbing, where they find music, what websites, any advice they can give, play them the track and get their response. Even if they don’t get back to you, you have reached out and taken action and then your mind does come up with some interesting ideas. Ryan then responded to my idea of people videoing or photographing them listening to my track and using #MarysiaLondontown in return for a prize, but instead he suggested ask people to send me a pic of their own personal ‘Londontown’ and offer them a place in my video when it gets made. I then express my exasperation and frustration in not knowing what to do next, nor how to do it. Ryan responded with the next steps plan to combat me going crazy with so many ways to do this plus I don’t have a marketing plan or enough knowledge about the market. I am watching The Vamps release their first single just via Youtube at present (188,000 views in 2 days at time of writing!) but I am not sure how their model works for me as I don’t have the platform they do. He advises me also this week to think of a friend who does know more than I and take them out for coffee and ask them for advice. He suggests I think about doing a listening event. The dangers of being too exclusive. Realise that I did not make this dance single in a day so don’t expect to launch it in a day. Really get focused and calm rather than lose myself in the panic of overwhelm and panic. He says ‘You have done an amazing thing in creating so now lets take some proper time into the marketing. Take the time and energy to come up with a plan. Don’t rush this thing but take your time. He again brings me back to regaining a sense of control, establish a clear set of questions to ask. He says it is still too early to get a solid marketing plan. Start with my target market and ask where they download their music from and where they go. I have 3 target audience to and 7 people to get their advice, and give myself permis[...] Londontown, Marketing, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/07/how-to-get-67k-youtube-views-in-19-hours-from-upload-ask-the-vamps/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/07/how-to-get-67k-youtube-views-in-19-hours-from-upload-ask-the-vamps/#comments Wed, 07 Aug 2013 11:49:25 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1456 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/08/07/how-to-get-67k-youtube-views-in-19-hours-from-upload-ask-the-vamps/feed/ 1
