Course Description
This is a course for aspiring musicians and artists. The course will teach you how to correctly promote your work on social media and other online marketing strategies.
The course is a mixture of an interview with a musician named Sarantos who is successfully using social media to promote his music and tutorials from me on some of the common marketing and business practices that musicians and artists should be aware of.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THIS MUSIC MARKETING COURSE
Don't expect to become a star overnight. The course notes many good practices and has a number of examples and suggestions for the right ways to do things. But it will be up to you to try things out and correctly implement the strategies discussed in the course.
Best of luck!
NEW COURSE ADDITION: TIKTOK FOR MUSIC
TikTok is a new social media platform that is very popular for musicians. It is formerly the Musically app. I added a new section for how to get started on TikTok to promote your music even if you have no audience of followers on TikTok.

The examples are not great, the information is very redundant, it would be great if the topics were more summarized and straight to the point. I'm sure it contains some valuable information but for now I haven't learned much.
By Christopher Rivera Perez on 1/21/2021
I loved how straight to the point this course explained everything! The professor is very vivid and very persistent towards helping his students network inside these social media platforms! That means a lot! This course brings so much value but I was also looking forward for more videos coaching independent musicians so that they can keep up creating original music ignoring societies "standards" It's a deep topic that I would love to see in a future so that an original composer can never give up on creating original music and so that original music can be also accepted and monetized in todays living!

I consider myself a good musician, however I don't have much business skills, and appreciate this course very much, which teach me so much great material. You don't know, what you don't know....until you know.
By Luis Javier Londoño Sosa on 4/10/2020
With this Course I got to know more ideas of how to monetize my Music, my Musical Knowledge and got a lot of inspiration to work on the promotion of these.
By Ben Hardie on 4/6/2020
This is very much a course for musicians just starting out, however, Alex Genadinik goes to a lot of trouble trying to cover a lot of marketing topics. He is a good communicator and will reply when you message him which is reassuring. Well done.

I haven't learned anything about marketing or good ways to generate fans like the marketing funnel . Also the interview quality was awful. I was really looking forward to learning some new ways to generate fans :/
By David Verney on 3/25/2019
As a musician myself, I find that the instructor provides a fresh look at marketing and I am sure that this will enable me to find more success as a musician. Thank you Mr Genadinik. Most appreciated.
By Kestas on 2/20/2019
This course is full of great marketing ideas for musicians . I implemented some ideas to my music marketing , which increased downloads by 55%. Thanks, great course.
By Eva Morales Alvarado on 5/19/2015
Indeed, this was a great course. It was very interesting, and very helpful for me. After years of offering my help my spouse, he finally accepted my help with promoting his music. I have so many ideas, but didnt know where to start from. But now after this course, I feel more confident and looking forward to learning more, on marketing a musican, as I begin this music marketing.. thank you.
By Maximillian Arturo on 1/6/2015
Course centers around an interview with a new (or unknown) musician. Neither the musician or the course presenter came across as an authority figure in the area of music marketing. I did give it two stars since there are a few nuggets that may be of use to brand new bands.
