Jared said something in this week’s episode that caught me off guard… He referred to the time period after release day as “Phase 2.”  We’ve talked a lot on this show about the importance of having a “post-release strategy” and not giving up after release day... But calling it “Phase 2” gave me a more detailed perspective on what record labels should be doing in the days and months after an album (or single) has been released. In this week’s interview with Winspear Records, Jared simply gives this over-arching strategy a name: “Phase 2”   Phase 2 is when you release bonus material, announce a tour, leak demos, or save a kid’s life at Niagara Falls and hope someone posts it on TikTok.,,   Phase 2 is just as important as Phase 1, maybe more important. This is when you double-down on your commitment to this release, regardless of how fans responded (or didn’t) on release day! Winspear releases subsequent EPs with original demos or acoustic versions. But they take this simple strategy one step further. They create unique artwork, different track listings, and they even rename the songs slightly to help change the listeners perspective that these aren’t just cast-off demos!   Listen to learn more!

This week’s interview is with Heart Dance Records, a women-owned and run instrumental label with a mission to create peaceful music to relax, reduce stress, focus, inspire, grieve, heal, meditate and calm. In this episode, we tackle the question of whether it’s okay or not for music fans to treat music as a utility.  For a lot music, it’s an emotional, intimate connection we have with the songs and the albums we love… and we link that directly back to the artist who wrote or sang the song. But in some cases, music simply augments our mood or the environment we’re in.  The music becomes similar to a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, a house plant, or comfy chair.  Is there a problem with that? Is that disrespectful to the artist when we passively utilize music?  Or is that something that was intended by the artist?   VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR RECORD LABEL RESOURCES: http://otherrecordlabels.com Heart Dance Records: http://heartdancerecords

In this episode, we talk about 10 simple ways that music fans can support the artists and record labels they love. Then we look at 5 ways us as record labels can make it easier for fans to support us! Read the article from today’s show at http://otherrecordlabels.com

Let's talk about how to find an investor for your record label. And more importantly, why someone might want to invest in your label...  This is actually a question that I’ve been asked a lot in our community.

I actually really enjoyed putting together today’s episode – because even though looking for outside investors hasn’t ever been on my radar – I feel like I have a lot more clarity about this space – and I think you’re going to find this helpful, regardless of where you are on your label journey.

This week's episode is taken from the new book, Record Label Marketing Strategies. You can get it on Amazon now: http://geni.us/recordlabelmarketing and on our website: http://otherrecordlabels.com/book   Essentially, Lead time is the amount of time from the start of an album to its release date. More specifically, in marketing for a new release, I consider lead time to be the time between when the masters are complete, and when the album (or single) is released to the public. A lot of independent artists finish recording on a Saturday, master on a Sunday, and release on a Monday. There is something beautiful about the spontaneity of home-recording, and the ease of distribution that today’s technology provides. However, a negative byproduct of this immediacy is the failure of artists to give their audience the joy of anticipation. Additionally, giving time for the press and playlist curators will create more chances for your record to succeed.

This week on the Other Record Labels podcast, I interviewed Neil from a UK label called ATA Records, which stands for All Things Analog.
