Today’s guest is John Oszajca, the founder of Music Marketing Manifesto.
In 1999, John secured what he calls, one of the “largest” record deals of all time. He was featured in Rolling Stone, MTV, and countless other publications. But his music wasn’t selling. And the label dropped him.
Through years of trial and error, John stumbled on a “formula” to market and sell music online. The strategy has been used to sell more albums online than all other music marketing strategies combined. John’s perfected this formula over time, and teaches it to musicians and anyone that wants to market their music. Today, he’s sharing it with Musician Monster.
I can’t wait for you to hear the wisdom John brings in today’s podcast episode.
