Does Twitter Still Matter for Musicians?
Have you ever found yourself saying, “I don’t do Twitter?” According to CD Baby, you might want to re-think that position if you’re a musician.

Since launching The Quinn Spinn five years ago, I have come across hundreds of independent musicians in the Lehigh Valley and beyond. No matter the genre, experience level, or location of the artist, one common theme has emerged for musicians or industry professionals trying to achieve lasting success.
In all phases, professionalism is key.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this notion lately. As I talk to more musicians — some of whom are eager to spread their wings past their comfortable confines and take a shot at “making it” — I’ve given thought to some important notes to keep in mind as you chase your dreams.
Check out the list below, and feel free to add any I missed in the comments.
Have you ever seen a Tuesday so stacked?
We’ve told you about TLO Live’s Online Marketing & Social Media Workshop as an opportunity to learn ways to grow in your creative endeavor.

A quick update for those who have been following along: TLO Live’s Online Marketing and Social Media Workshop has been postponed to Tuesday, January 10 at 7 p.m.
We’re a bit heavy on events during the week, while not offering much this weekend. That’s because Christmas is Sunday, and people (including us) will be traveling and wanting to(?) spend time with their families this weekend.
