They're Good At That Shit
Publishing a Book, Starting a Successful Music Showcase, and Landing TV Placements - Anni
In this episode of They’re Good at That Sh*t, we dive into Anni's journey of writing and publishing a poetry book dedicated to her late mother, starting the beloved LA music showcase Saturdays at 7, and landing major sync placements on The Kardashians, Teen Mom, and Love Is Blind.
We break down how to:
- Self-publish a book on Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and TikTok Shop
- Build an email list and pitch sponsors for music events
- Get started in sync licensing and sign with a sync agency
- Grow a music community from your backyard to New York City
- Stay mentally resilient through grief, setbacks, and burnout
If you're an artist navigating loss, launching a project, or building a team—this one’s packed with gems.
