I've been making and physically releasing music for 31 years: tapes, CDs, 7"s, LPs, a 10", and even a VHS tape.

Here are my reasons for putting shit out physically:

Michael Stover I Artist & Creative Marketing I @bigsto.bsky.social · 1d

some artists would've never pressed CDs had i not mentioned it first. as a lot of artists came at me believing they were obsolete.

understand...PHYSICAL MEDIA WILL NEVER BE OBSOLETE.

corporations are the ones attempting to eliminate it. don't let them.

If anything we might see a huge boom in physical media purchases with the way streaming services are increasing prices when economy is basically shot right now

your newsletter doesn't have to be anything complicated or complex either.

just be yourself.

inform your supporters of what they missed and what's to come.

throw some personality in there.

we really don't have to overthink it.

Cincinnati Independent Book Store Crawl was a success. talk to a lot of owners. got books in-stores, got events red to get planned and realized a lot of Independent ARTISTS rarely take advantage of events like this.

Michael Stover I Artist & Creative Marketing I @bigsto.bsky.social · 7d

the Best-Selling books written for and edited with my label are officially in another Independent Book Store.

THE TOME in Anderson Township, Ohio!!!

i couldn't be more thankful or honored.

reading Infinity Gauntlet for the first time.

Michael Stover I Artist & Creative Marketing I @bigsto.bsky.social · 9d

-starting a newsletter
-adding detail to your captions
-reaching out to people who reply -recording footage of your studio session
-including liner notes in your album (even digitally)
-selling CDs
-doing lyric breakdowns

are LOW-budget actionable items you can do right now.

Michael Stover I Artist & Creative Marketing I @bigsto.bsky.social · 9d

here if you need written assets for your next release, book, event, single, project, speaking panel or the like.

ive been writing bios & press releases for over a decade at this point and would be honored to write for you if need be.

drop a line and let's cook!
