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.

"neither men nor women are “the prize” — healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, effort, and value."

the world is on fire.
some people are mean beyond measure.
but that doesn't mean it's time to give up.

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 · 4d

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.

-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.

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

go out and live.
they're gonna hate on you regardless.
even when you're literally doing nothing incorrect.

a newsletter gives you direct access to the people who are genuinely interested in what you're creating.

social media is a great resource but funneling followers to a location where you can actually communicate with them is important.

you've accomplished a lot this year.

it's a prime time to start putting together your year-end recap...we don't have to wait for these platforms to do it for us because we've accomplished a lot OUTSIDE of these platforms.
