30 Days to a Better Music Brand

At Teen Jazz we’ve met, interviewed and talked with a number of talented musicians and we continue to do so on a daily basis. As part of this process, we have had the opportunity to see what works and what doesn’t as far as branding and it’s given us a ton of insight that we would now like to share with you.

Our first book, The Album Checklist, was well-received, and so, we wanted to do it again. But much like The Album Checklist, this book isn’t just another music advice book. It is a workbook and a guidebook. That means that we not only we suggest what to do to improve your music brand, but we share how to get started and give you the tools to begin working towards a better brand.

So, without further ado, we present 30 Days to a Better Music Brand.

30 Days to a Better Music Brand is a collection of activities or small tasks to do over the next 30 days to improve your brand as an artist.

It does not matter whether or not you have tried your hand at “branding” in the past. This book can provide you with tips to either build or improve your brand regardless of where you are at with your music identity and business.

Each chapter of this guide includes:
• A Challenge – something you can do right away.
• A Lesson – with each chapter, you are given in-depth instructions to not only ex-
plain how to do your daily challenge but why it’s important to complete.
iii
• More to Learn – if you decide you’d like to spend more than a day on certain tasks, we’ve provided you with further resources so that you can delve deeper whenever you feel it’s necessary.

Your mission as you work through this book is to consistently complete each chal- lenge over a period of 30 days (or slightly more if you feel the need to take a break or two). I personally worked through each day of the book as I wrote it, experiment- ing with the advice included so that I could share the results with you at the end.
