Nothing makes me happier (businesswise) than seeing positive results of my students.

Many composers in a nutshell: No, I don't care learning about correct self-promotion and marketing, I prefer to do it wrong and if it doesn't work, it's probably my music not being good enough.

Whenever you question yourself about not finding work as a music composer, check your demo reel or website and analyze how often it is about you you you ... and not about the benefits that you bring to the table for your client!

Oh so right. You don't need to be the best out there. You need to understand your clients, write solid music, make them happy and getting paid ๐Ÿ˜Š

Typical argument of music composers: The market is so saturated, it doesn't make sense anymore.

See it from this perspective: 99% of people are lazy! Be consistent in your networking and build long-term relationships instead of going for the quick buck, then you have the biggest advantage ever!

Music composers still thinking the best method for a demo reel is:
- playlists with tons of tracks
- long video medleys
- long text bios
- listing all gear and awards
- links to every social network
- contact forms
- using YouTube or SoundCloud
... but still no project in sight? ๐Ÿค”

Hey Randolph, corporate identity sounds that would be. You could also say Sound or Audio Logos for companies.

... I will be as consistent and smart-working as possible instead of wasting 20h per day in front of my machine, which is completely ineffective, instead of getting a good night of sleep, since I perfectly know that this will fuck up my mental health.

10. I would also strengthen my self-confidence and stop listening to bs advice and negative shit from people telling me that the market is saturated and that there are billions of composers so it all doesn't make sense anymore because ...

9. Once I am good enough I would start selling exclusive music and/or trying to get into my dream career as, for example, a video game composer.
