I Am Going to Manufacture Demand (Or Get Called Out Trying)
Once my YouTube channel gets incredibly popular, or has at least the semblance of some viewership, I want to use it to create demand.
I’ll have something to point to, where a booker can maybe listen for 10 or 15 seconds, but they will surely say 'yes, he is a person who does this thing, proficiently, because there’s—oh my God, why are there so many hours of this on YouTube?'
I don’t know what they will say, but it will look like it’s something I do. And it has been something I do, but I was keeping it to myself, which there’s no reason to do that these days.
So effectively, I’m building catalog to create demand. So that I can get local and/or regional gigs, because you cannot do this stuff in a vacuum.
Interestingly enough, my first set with my current setup was created in said in a vacuum then live tested first, so proof of concept! I got through almost 40 minutes. It’s on my channel. Listen here.
But I believe, and you can check back on this when it does or doesn’t work, that I will create demand by having a solid amount of solid content. It just adds legitimacy.
The videos are of the thing that I do, and It shows my thing is, in fact, really a thing, amidst a sea of 10,000,000 people with Ableton who think they can do something (and probably can!).
