Ep 169 How to Grow a YouTube or Social Media Following (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description Inspired by Art Juice podcast ep 112, “Artists on Instagram: Tips and Strategies for Success” Accounts are further along than some and less than others. 1. Takes time 2. Do what you like (Don’t turn it into work.) 3. Personal versus business 4. Don’t depend on only one 5. Look at it as marketing (make it a natural extension of what you do) 6. Introduce your post (make it more conversational) 7. Keep going #socialmediagrowth #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #independentartists #music #influence But we KNOW that these are NOT the be all and end all, so what did we miss? What strategy do you use that are growing your social media accounts like crazy? We’d love to know what works for you, so that maybe we can try it too. Leave it in the comments below.

Ep157 Why use a planner (for D.I.Y. Rock Star planning)? As you might know, we have just unboxed our latest Plum Paper Planner (https://bit.ly/plumplannerunbox3). I am not going to lie; it was thrilling. But it made me wonder, realistically, what is the purpose of utilizing a planner for the D.I.Y. Rock Star? That is what we are exploring today. In our minds, there are a few really specific reasons to use some method of formal planning and here they are: Reasons to use a planner for D.I.Y. Rock Star planning: 1. Guide your time (to support your vision) 2. Track your progress (for newsletter and for habit tracking) 3. To help visually chunk out time (without it, time seems big and amorphous and you can get lost in the daily living) 4. To track our income and expenses What planning method do you use? How does it help you live your D.I.Y. Rock Star lifestyle? We’d love to hear about it. Leave it in the comments below. —— We have decided, upon popular demand, to offer you, our listeners, a chance to get a fully loaded two-disc vinyl version of our new funk album, “Sugar Fit.” Click the link below to make your presence felt. Order yours today.

Gab & Jam Ep 157 Why Use A Planner (for D.I.Y. Rock Star Planning)?

Ep 156 Lessons Learned in 2020 Video Description This year is probably going to be THE most memorable for anyone who is alive right now. It’s had its share of struggles, that’s for sure. But, as always, we like to figure out how to get the good out of EVERYTHING, so we have flipped this idea around and are asking what lessons have we learned from 2020? #lessons #adversity #2020 #diyrockstar #endofyear #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #reflection Lessons learned in 2020: 1. The ability to do hard things to help open up new opportunities (being social is hard, but we are doing it) 2. The ability to rise to the challenge (whatever it may be) 3. The ability to pivot into something new and creative What do you think? What did you discover about yourself or the world that became clear this year? We’d love to hear your suggestions.

Ep 155 Musical Discovery 3 Christmas Edition Video Description Even though it’s 2020 and we’re in the middle of a pandemic, we are still heading into the holiday season. Not only is this the time to remind yourself of how blessed you are if you are alive and healthy, but it’s time to celebrate the season with music. We thought we’d share some more unusual choices for your holiday playlist. (Here is the entire playlist: http://bit.ly/Musicaldisc3playlist ) #holidays #playlist #christmas #diyrockstar #playlist #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #songs This is our gift to you for this really weird 2020 holiday season. Surprisingly, we have never done a Christmas music one, but here’s why. As you PROBABLY could have guessed, this list could have been massive and could have taken over a city block or something, but I THINK we have managed to whittle it down enough to be digestible. (Check out the episode for the list!) What do you think? What Christmas songs—and/or who’s renditions—really get you in the holiday mood? We’d love to hear your suggestions. Leave a comment below.

(Check out more on vision boards: http://bit.ly/rockstarvision ) Why did we do it? Aren't our goals pretty much still the same? Here’s why you MIGHT want to take another look at your overall vision. #vision #visionboard #goals #diyrockstar #planning #prejippie #bloomingprejippie How often should you update it? It's up to you, but the two best times would seem to be about once a year (if your goals/circumstances haven't changed much) or when you know your goals are not reflected accurately. What about you? Have you created a vision board yet? If not, why not? We've a free download to help you do one for yourself. http://bit.ly/visionprintable If you do, how often do you update it?

Ep 170 4 Ways to Find Your Creative Identity (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star) Video Description Maybe I see our mission—if we have one—as helping you all—and ourselves—stay tuned into who you truly are. We think knowing who you are is your Super Power and will help you lead a life of purpose and passion. Needless to say, my ears perk up every time there is a discussion of finding one’s creative self. Consider this augmented eavesdropping, since it was inspired—once again—by one of my new favorite podcasts, Creative Pep Talk (episode 312; Do You Know Who You Are? Find Your Creative Identity Now; http://bit.ly/creativepeppod312 ). We believe that not only is this helpful to new artists, but to us seasoned folks as well, because, as far as we are concerned, you will need to keep yourself in “calibration,” so that you can know what your goals are and what you are willing—and unwilling—to do to get where you want to be. #creativepeptalk #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #identity #music #style How do you keep yourself “calibrated”; knowing that you are on the right path to living your life of creative passion and purpose?

Ep 171 Am I a procrastinator, but don’t know it? Video Description Here’s a quote—from one of my current new favorite podcasts, Creative Pep Talk (episode 294: https://www.creativepeptalk.com/episodes/294 ). “You spend your life doing what you spend your days doing.”—Andy J. Pizza We know about the bills, the boss, and the kids, but think about the fact that creating something of value is your passion, so are you making the time and taking the effort to do those things? The reason why we feel qualified to discuss this topic is that there have been times in our lives where we have asked ourselves these same questions. 4 Questions to Ask Your Yourself to find out if you’re procrastinating (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star): (Listen to the episode for the 4 questions.) #creativepeptalk #diyrockstar #prejippie #bloomingprejippie #procrastination #music #artist Are you on the right path to living a life of creative passion and purpose?

Ep 173 Why have a podcast (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star)? Video Description As D.I.Y. Rock Stars, we’ve got quite a lot to juggle already; why would you want to ADD podcasting to the pile? Here are AT LEAST 4 good reasons. 1. Helps build community around your message 2. Helps you showcase your personality 3. Helps deepen people's interest in whatever else you do 4. Helps you meet peers AND role models No one actively encouraged us to start a podcast, but it was a natural outgrowth of several of the other things we were doing. What about you? Do you have a podcast? Are you thinking of starting one? We’d love to support even more artists and their podcasts.

Gab & Jam Ep 173 Why Have A Podcast (for The D.I.Y. Rock Star) Podcast

Ep 153 Why ugly is so pretty The power of grow on you tunes As far as we know, this term was coined by our good buddy, Marx Talley. It refers to songs that you really can’t stand initially, but that eventually end up being among your favorites. We’ve talked about this pretty recently, actually. But why do these songs have this twisted power over us? And don’t you REALLY want to know, because you want to have that power over others? (Ep 151 https://bit.ly/Ep151Awfulvid and to Prince G.O.T. http://bit.ly/princecountdown ) #musicispower #uglyispretty #diyrockstar #growonyou #prejippie #bloomingprejippie 1. It moves you. (The other side of hate is love; it moved you in some sort of way) 2. It calls on that side of you that likes being “deep” (it requires that you stretch to meet it; it appears unknowable) 3. It is more interesting because it is so memorable (or vice versa) (When something is basic, it does not give you “anything to hold on to,” as our buddy Anthony Pierson used to tell us decades ago.) What do you think? When have you heard a song that you thought you absolutely hated only to hear it again and find that you REALLY love it? We DEFINITELY want to hear about that! Taking a holiday break. Will give you a first-time ever holiday episode, so keep an eye out for that. Will be back first Monday in January 2021.

Ep 174 Doing inner/outer work is necessary to stay creative Video Description What does it take to remain receptive to your muse? That’s the question when seeking a long-term creativity. Here are some things to consider when we want to remain creative: Inspired by Creative Pep Talk Ep 312 "Do You Know Who You Are? Find Your Creative Identity Now" https://www.creativepeptalk.com/episodes/312 Inner/Outer work necessary to remain creative: 1. How to know how much to share 2. How to know how crazy is too crazy 3. Must agree to be vulnerable to find yourself and/or to express yourself 4. Solitude is necessary 5. Experiencing life is also necessary 6. Things are different now. (Communication/feedback is so readily available that it makes it hard to just bumble along and/or to just be experimental. Temptation is great to get more followers/likes.) What do you think?
