I was browsing on Instagram and saw one recording artist that was higher on the totem pole support another that’s considered more of a beginner. That’s what I imagine to be a method for securing longevity in the music industry.

Sharing the work of another artist

There’s so many ways to share another artist’s work.

One way that immediately comes to mind is social media.

It’s much more nuanced than saying that channel alone though.

There’s several platforms that audiences can be reached on.

I can zoom out and suggest another way to do it by passing out flyers.

That’s a bit dated but the concepts the same.

The point is going out of the way to support.

Supporting another competitor in your field isn’t hurting your own business.

If anything it grows the industry.

Connecting another with new opportunities

Networking is the name of the game here.

I’m gonna sound like a broken record here but paying it forward can be done in so many ways.

Doing it can be done by more than just the obvious:

• Money
• Physical labor

Those are just a couple of common ways.

And I can acknowledge that not everybody has the capacity to do those things.

But sometimes pointing someone in the right direction can be the play that makes a difference.
