Musicians - I don't want to be the Xmas Grinch at this amazing festive time of year but today I was in a meeting with some great music industry guys discussing bands for up coming gigs and festival slots and it was interesting to see how in this particular meeting everything was done and chosen through youtube. 

After seeing 50+ bands youtube channels I was astounded at the standards or more important lack of standards put into bands youtube... It was hilarious! There were just 2 professional banners and the rest were an after thought. There was no thought put into descriptions, layouts or what content can and should go on your youtube.

FFS! This is your career we are talking about... I propose a New Years Resolution to sort out your youtube because we are not talking about school bands here... we are talking about touring bands. This also goes for wannabe session musicians and singers promoting themselves. Youtube is the 2nd biggest search engine online so utilise it and don't miss opportunities!

And if Youtube isn't your thing then you will miss out on opportunities so my advice is make it your thing or go back to Myspace where everything was a lot simpler. Sadly those days are gone and bands today missed out because they either couldn't be found, or couldn't be arse to do something as simple as sorting out their Youtube!

Sorry this is a rant but now is the time to sort this... while everyone else relaxes for xmas and has time off, you can use this time to sort out a few fundamentals of your project. USE THIS TIME WISELY!
