How did a CLIMB listener create YouTube videos with 20,000+ views- while starting with almost zero audience and subscribers?

Today, we interview CLIMBer, Johnathan Cochran, because we think you can learn a lot from his tactics on being a professional indie artist.

If you’re a singer, songwriter or indie artist who wants to grow your career, THIS is the podcast for you!

The C.L.I.M.B. stands for “Creating Leverage In The Music Business,” and that’s the goal of this podcast- to help singers, indie artists and songwriters like YOU to create leverage in the music business.  What is leverage?  It’s “strategic advantage; the power to act effectively.”  We want to help YOU make stuff happen in the music biz.

It’s exciting to see how folks are digging the show- and being helped on their CLIMB.  If YOU like it, we’d really appreciate it if you’d subscribe and leave a rating or review on iTunes.  Positive ratings and reviews help us to climb the iTunes rankings so more people become aware of the show and we can help more singers, songwriters, and indie artists like you make The CLIMB!

“You have a better chance of booking a 2nd cowrite with an artist if you have a ‘good song’ and a GREAT time than with a ‘great song’ and a BAD time.”  In this episode, I share an experience where I wrote a strong song with a hit artist… but didn’t get another cowrite on the books.  I won the song but lost the cowrite.

Having a successful cowrite is about more than just the song.  Let’s talk about that today on The C.L.I.M.B.

Get into my pro songwriting mind!  Johnny takes a title submitted by a CLIMBer like you, and he springs it on me!  And I have to figure out on the fly how to make it a hit!  If you want to submit a title (it’s not a cowrite), send it to Johnny at info@daredevilproduction.com.

You won’t hear most artists say they’re terrible at playing or songwriting, but way too many artists admit to sucking at networking!  This is NOT ok.  This episode will reveal some ways and reasons you can and should improve your networking skills.

The music business is a relationship business, and nothing will help you kickstart a good relationship like using these 5 networking hacks.  This is not about some sneaky, underhanded way of manipulating people.  No, these hacks will help you make a GENUINE connection to new people you meet – whether new fans or new music business contacts.
