I found this interview and the reason I am posting it here is because at the very last question 50 explains one of the legendary Jim Rohn’s Fundamental Principles.

Your Success in the marketplace is determined by the Value You bring to the marketplace.

XXL: Do you see yourself ever opening the doors again for G-Unit, where you’ll bring in outside acts again, like you did with M.O.P., Mase, and Mobb Deep?

50 Cent: Yeah, I’m getting ready to bring in a whole batch of new artists.

XXL: New artists, or just guys who will be new to G-Unit?

50 Cent: New talent—I’m excited. My parameters will be different on what I do to support the actual artists, but as far as artist development and grooming them to the point when I feel they’re ready, that’ll be excellent. I’m excited about it, because I don’t feel like I’ll ever be as big as I want to be based off my own success. It’ll be based on my success and the success of others around me. I’ll provide those opportunities again. Like, Em can go home all the time and just chill. Not bother working, but I’m still here, and if he decides not to travel, I’m out there. I make [moves] everywhere, so it creates something that they can make reference to as why they’d have that interest.

Donnel Jones

 Singersroom: What’s your plan for social networking and becoming more interactive?

Donell Jones: I’m throwing myself in it whole heartedly man. It’s the new thing. I mean you can connect with your fans and be one-on-one.

It wasn’t like this like ten years ago when I first came out. When I first came out, you had to send in your fan mail and now you can talk to your fans directly; you can even do a video chat.

It’s crazy how technology has changed but it’s the best thing for music right now.

 I think for a lot of people in my position going independent, it’s going to help in a major way because not only is the music business suffering a lot, the record labels are really killing themselves because they are letting go of a lot of  great artists right now.

 It’s almost like they don’t know what they’re doing…like they don’t understand the internet. This is a big marketing tool and they are still going off the old ways they ran business.

Singersroom: Yeah man…I always wondered why these labels don’t create music portals for themselves internally.

Donell Jones: Exactly…I be thinking about how would you let iTunes come in and make a music store and you haven’t thought about doing it yourself. That to me doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

They didn’t think about it and somebody else jumped on it. I guess this is why the deals that they are giving up right now are 360 deals.

 I think that’s kind of terrible.

A lot of these artists really make their money from going on the road and now they want a piece of your shows.

So it’s like, is it really worth it being an artist on a label?

I mean they have the money to back you as an artist but at the same token you’re never going to make anything because they are going to pad the books so bad that you are always going to be in the red.

Singersroom: So what advice do you have for a new artist that is approached by one of these deals?

Donell Jones: It depends on how much money they are putting on the table. I mean I gotta look at it like this, some of these guys never had money before and the type of money they might give out probably could help someone’s family. Sometimes you have to take it, but as far as a person in my position, I wouldn’t take it.

 If you already have a fan base and you know how to connect with your fan base, it makes no sense to go get a record deal, not unless they are putting up a hell of a lot of money (laughter).

If you are reading this you may be asking yourself:

What am I you going to write about? & how long do these articles need to be?

Let me make this super simple for you. An average person will max out and stop paying attention at about 450 words. That plus the fact that most people read at about a 9th grade level should take the pressure off. Plus, using Articles to Market you Music Online is a great way to build a relationship with you listeners and develop trust.

Consider this…If you are writing your songs on your computer already then you have tons of articles that are  just about finished.  All you need to do is add the bread. Your lyrics, your music, your art is the meat. Add an Intro with a short history maybe mention where you were at the time or what was your inspiration. At the end leave a signature – 2or 3 sentence max- that directs them where to go for more.

With that done now all you need is the Strategy.

A couple of months ago we released a training from one of our most successful marketers, which revealed EXACTLY how he was generating 30-50+ leads a day using nothing but a simple four step article writing strategy. (and it’s one of my favorite ways to market your music.)

Well, the success from this one training alone has been nothing short of incredible. Traffic to our membership site literally DOUBLED in a couple of weeks.

However, we realized after about a month that there was something missing…

While some of our members were DOMINATING the search engines, others were still a little
confused on putting all the pieces together and creating their own well-oiled, lead
generating machine that cranks out cash on demand.

So what here’s what we’ve done…

We’ve combined the knowledge of 3 of our most successful marketers and we had them fill in all the gaps, tear apart each step, & dissect every section of this marketing approach so that YOU could understand it, and more importantly IMPLEMENT it starting TODAY!

Why you may just have to fire the hot chic with the clip board!

Let’s dig into List Building: This is the #5 Reason the #1 Attraction Marketing System on the Planet is actually for the Un-Signed Recording Artist.

You must have a presence, a strategy and a Marketing System in place converts. It has to turns interested people into leads and qualified buyers for your business. Yes, Your Music is a Business right or wrong? So let’s address it as so.

If you don’t something in place adding 50 to 100+ people per day into your sales funnel, you are not going to get where you want to be.

This is 100% Mission Critical.
If you just want to make a few thousand dollars a month maybe you don’t need to hit those numbers but I am talking to those Artists that are really talking about the type of income that is going to change your life.

I remember being in the clubs watching the hot girl with the clip board walk around adding names to the Mailing List. She would work the bar, work the line outside, hit the dance floor and would even chit-chat waiting for the potty, all while she filled up her list. She was great, and the artists loved her for it.

At the end of the night they had a list of highly targeted leads. Leads that have already been exposed to the product, are interested in what you put out, and are actively looking for more. Building your List is the absolute foundation of Network Marketing, and you have been doing it for years.

You have to be an expert at list building and there are certain tools and steps that you need to take. This is what I am going to show you. In videos 2 & 3, I am going to spell out exactly how to take that one step further and turn you list into CASH MONEY.

This approach was once reserved for only those who were already pulling in the $10,000+ per month, which leaves the struggling, brand new, “doesn’t have results yet” network marketer behind to become part of the 97% who fail. hmm… Sounds like more than 97% of Artists in our Industry.

We teach exactly how to dominate list building strategies using certain tools that most Artists do not even know exist! 50 to 100 of your own, Self generate leads will be common place for you in our system just utilizing the Free tools that we are going to show you.
