Re: How am I different from all the other mandolinists? (ruminati
There's books that might interest you: Savvy Musician (Cutler), How To Make It (Herstand), Beyond Talent (Beeching) and also Derek Sivers old blog posts: https://sivers.org/nolimit and https://sivers.org/up2you and lots of others.
Another list: https://thenatelee.weebly.com/books.html
I think the single most important things are your network of musicians, recording /practice/teaching studios, radio station, venue operators etc that will help you get exposure, and entertaining youtube vids with high quality sound. High quality: a good room, good mike, preamp, DAC, tracks not drowned in reverb. I think the vids that have the most impact for me are a a couple musicians or a trio that play well together. There's also the videos of playing duets with themselves, like Westley Carr's.
