Traveling T-Shirt Salesman
After a short mid-season break, Ron, Darren, and Facebook contest winner Brian (Singer for Stone Temple Pilots tribute Purple to the Core) talk about why it's important to have merchandise, what items to sell, how to mark them up, the strategy of giving away product (but not too much), having a tip jar, and exploring as many avenues to bring in income. Plus, Darren catches up with Tim Barbour. Guitarist for New York based Blameshift, owner of jewelry company Strung, and founder of consultation firm The Hit Music Collective, about his career, merchandising, and monetizing yourself as a musician. PLUS, after we recorded the episode, Brian, Darren, and Ron chat a little bit about efficiently advertising on Facebook.
