Hi Brian,

I can suggest what has worked for me? Put your voice out there.
However you can. Use the web to the best of your abilities to connect
with the right people. Work to understand who the right people are.
Then find out where they are. Also, find out how you can help them
through your music. And share that with them. And keep this going for
as long as you want to do what you love.

Hi Tara,
Like your site, and your ideas. I am definitely a CC, and what you say about the old style of marketing no longer appealing to CC sensibilities is so true. I'm also a singer-songwriter coming completely from a consciousness oriented perspective. Someone told me about Lohas, and then I discovered the CC thing. I was wondering if you had any ideas for how to get my CD noticed by these groups? Keeping in mind, please, that being a musician is equivalent to having very little money!
cheers,
Brian

I love the expression of “innerpreneurs!” It fits with the kind of kindred spirits I'm looking for in the Heartland!

Jaki,

I'm glad that my thoughts were of value to you. I think that understanding that our ideal clients are those with similar mindsets is a great tool to ease the anxiety that "marketing your self or your business" creates. What is great about conscious commerce is that individuality (and having a good idea) can be your greatest promotion tool.

We need to be aware that just because someone is a "marketing" expert does not mean they are an expert at the kind of marketing you believe in. Different mindsets mean different priorities. Make sure you work with those who share your values or you may quickly find them compromised by "expert" opinions on what works.

Thanks for reading and commenting,

Tara

I really like the idea that we're marketing to others like us. I work with lots of artists, dancers, performers, and this is very useful thinking for folks like them (and me).
