⏳ Stop paying for fans who disappear

This week, I'm diving into why most artists burn cash on ads that vanish overnight instead of building something that lasts forever. Plus, I've got a workflow tool that connects every AI platform you need.

I almost forgot how powerful it feels to reconnect with someone who shared your music journey.

This week I met my old bandmate friend Sebastian at a beergarden in our hometown.

We played different bands but shared the same local music scene years ago.

Old friendships hold pieces of who you were that you can't find anywhere else.

Now, let’s cut to the chase:

Building a sustainable fanbase w/o burning your budget

Most artists waste money on ads that disappear the moment they stop paying.

Building an email list gives you direct access to fans without fighting algorithms.

This is the essence of the Newsletter-First Approach.

Instead of pouring all your money into temporary ad campaigns, focus on creating compelling content that converts viewers into subscribers.

Your email list becomes a valuable asset you own forever.

Here's how it works:

1. Create engaging social media content
2. Direct followers to your newsletter signup
3. Nurture these connections with valuable content
4. Offer products directly to your engaged audience
5. Build sustainable income without constant ad spend

Stop chasing temporary visibility.

Start building lasting relationships.

Check out the AI fanbase builder for prompts that help you create content, grow your newsletter, and convert fans into customers.

The best time to start building your list is today.

Suno just launched Suno Studio, a browser-based AI-powered music workstation

The new platform offers creators an alternative approach to music production with AI-assisted generation capabilities.

Here's what Suno Studio includes:

1 - Seamless Experimentation:
↳ Generate unlimited stem variations that flow with your existing audio
↳ Create vocals, drums, and synths instantly with AI assistance

2 - Flexible Starting Points:
↳ Begin with uploaded samples, your Suno library, or individual stems
↳ Work wherever inspiration strikes without technical barriers

3 - Professional Control:
↳ Access multitrack timeline editing, BPM control, and pitch adjustment
↳ Combine precise editing tools with AI-powered generation

4 - Workflow Integration:
↳ Export stems as both audio and MIDI files
↳ Continue working in your favorite DAW without limitations

The platform aims to bridge AI innovation with human creativity in music production.

Available now for Premier users at $30/month (approximately $0.03 per stem generation).

Reality check: Ezra Sandzer-Bell (Founder of Text to MIDI tool Audiocipher)'s testing reveals key issues:

While promising, Suno Studio currently struggles with basic functionality - buggy hotkeys, alignment issues, and tempo inconsistencies.

The browser-based DAW lacks essential features like panning and VST support so far.

Suno Studio represents the company's expansion into comprehensive music production tools.

WRAP UP

We’re at the end!

Sometimes the best things in life emerge from the most challenging circumstances.

This hopeful message runs through Mel Brooks' film "Life Stinks" (1991), which captures something essential about creativity.

Brooks had a way of bringing great stories and connecting them to life lessons through satire.

His movies remind us that inspiration often comes from unexpected sources.

Your music journey works the same way.

The struggles, the technical limitations, the budget constraints - these aren't roadblocks.

They're the raw materials for something better.

Keep building. Keep creating. Keep connecting.

Always rooting for you,

-Chris (The AI Musicpreneur)
