&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We all know social media is a powerful tool which has allowed us to take our careers into our own hands, but many musicians aren\u2019t using it effectively. &nbsp;There also aren\u2019t many up-to-date resources out there which teach marketing and branding to musicians &#8211; especially in the heavier genres (rock, metal, punk, prog, etc.) &#8211; where the strategy is different to say, EDM artists. &nbsp;I wanted to create a resource that would empower bands by giving them the skills they need to not only utilize their social media channels effectively but actually present as a professional act so they can start getting bigger opportunities. &nbsp;In turn, I hope to see more bands kicking goals instead of giving up on their dreams.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noise pollution said:&nbsp;\u201cSocial Media Shredder is a handy guide not just for bands and musicians, but for any business that wants to make the most of their social media presence. &nbsp;Early in the piece, Monica warns that having a good social media presence is never a substitute for having great product, and I think that knowing this key point is half the battle&#8230;After reading through Social Media Shredder, I highly recommend that you do grab a copy and put it into effect immediately.\u201dSocial Media Shredder is out now in paperback or Kindle via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Social-Media-Shredder-audience-career\/dp\/109736965X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.monicastrut.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.monicastrut.com<\/a>&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian music journalist and blogger, Monica Strut, has released a new book, Social Media Shredder:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[91,537,183,184],"class_list":["post-11311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-book","tag-monica-strut","tag-music-business","tag-music-industry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11311"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11316,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11311\/revisions\/11316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
