Book marketing takes center stage in part two of my conversation with independent musician and author Tony Harrah. He breaks down his mathematical approach to sales strategy, sharing insights on reaching target audiences without traditional industry gatekeepers. From his decision to self-narrate audio books to his perspective on working with publicists and labels, Tony offers practical wisdom for creative entrepreneurs.
This continuation of last week’s discussion explores the current state of music, his marketing plans for his latest releases, and the launch of TheGreasyHedonist.com as his creative hub. Catch his album “Unicorns” on Soundcloud and discover how he’s applying independent music principles to his expanding artistic portfolio.
