Anyone can be a music star with a good YouTube video or Vine and that makes it difficult to create a legitimate career that can last for decades to come. Thankfully, Earl Brinkley shares in this article how you can create longevity in your music career.

Your challenge is to find them, move them, and continue to feed them. BTW I’ll start by saying ‘That’s the part that seems at times impossible but it’s not!!! SUPER hard and SUPER expensive, but not impossible!"
