And the demand is there every year. Online holiday sales, in particular, continue to grow &#8230; and there are more opportunities all the time to tap into these consumer dollars.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 8px 16px; border: 0px none;\" title=\"Holiday Music Marketing - Let's you play more shows!\" src=\"http:\/\/bob-baker.com\/buzz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Muse-Uprising-Live-at-Top-of-the-Pops.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday Music Marketing - book more live shows!\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" \/><strong>Many independent artists profit simply because they put time and energy into creating annual holiday campaigns that gain momentum year after year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE PROBLEM<\/strong>: Most artists never tap into this holiday revenue potential.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah come only once a year, and they are short-lived events. It\u2019s easy to justify not putting much effort into them.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it takes time to brush up on a collection of holiday songs you perform only a few weeks out of the year. Plus, you must plan ahead to write\/record Christmas music over the summer, when you\u2019re not in a holiday mood.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, <strong>most musicians ignore this holiday music income stream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>That&#8217;s a BIG MISTAKE!<\/h3>\n<p>Do what the smart artists do: Use the ideas and success stories packed into this new multimedia training program.
