Whether you want to write about music, create playlists, create videos, produce podcasts, or do a little bit of everything, building a career as a music influencer is hard work. It is a labor-intensive process that can take years to achieve a financially beneficial outcome, but it is the only way of life for many. If that describes you, then this video is for you.

Music Biz host James Shotwell began his career in music journalism. For the first time, he uses this video to introduce the four essential elements of reporting, influence and music criticism. It's easy to get started and we encourage anyone who enjoys discussing music to give it a try. You never know where your life might take you.
