In the third installment of the Tribe of Noise Survival Guide for the DIY Musician, I sat down with the ridiculously talented singer-songwriter Megan Slankard.

For many artists, promoting their music is one of the toughest aspects of the job. In her career of fifteen years, Megan Slankard has picked up a few tricks when it comes to successfully getting her music noticed by radio stations, magazines, and most importantly a receptive audience.

The singer-songwriter – and creator of the hilarious web-series inDIYe – played her first paid gig when she was only fifteen and sold over 35.000 copies of her four albums. She shared with us the importance of a well-maintained website, why readers of your newsletter are way more valuable than your ‘likes’ on facebook, and why you should give yourself time for promotion when you’ve finished your album.
