Get What I'm Saying To You - "Do You Get It" Nervewreck


I'm gonna go back to a favorite topic of mine and try to expand. But first, the last few weeks have been crazy the blog has not been consistent because of a loss in the family and at the same time, success with Nervewreck. It was Monday night actually and my guitarist called to see if I got something in the mail from the publishing company we are under. Low and behold it was a royalty check. I won't disclose an amount that would be rude but this gave us proof that our hard work is paying off, which leads me back to the topic of branding.

Within rock and roll you learn to brand yourself quick, You see what you want to personify, you try to create a unique sound, you decide what category you want to be classified in, because after all you are in control of the situation. The same goes for marketing, branding yourself here and outside of these realms opens a surefire door of getting your name out there. Now this goes way beyond the name and the logo.

You have to have the personality your actions and on the Internet the words or text that convey what you have. You also have to believe it, you can't be fake. Look at it as a way of life, it's your style. See I combine rock into every aspect of my life. I am rock, rock is me, I use phrases that are what I call "rocking phrases" through my ads, my personal emails, the clothes I wear, even the way I work. You think a rock musician doesn't work hard but they do.

It takes a long time to create a song. It then takes a constant repetitiveness's of practice in learning the song, and for the song to be good it needs a good hook or tag line, sound familiar? It's the same for your business, get the idea out there, learn what works and what doesn't, yes the logo is important, but for it to be good it has to be you. If you are having problems let me know by posting a comment I will continue to expand on this Rocking Your Success Topic. Below is the link to the previous post on this topic.
