January is easy.January is loud.January is full of declarations, fresh notebooks, and bold posts about “this year being different.” Plans don’t fail there. They fail in February  — when no one’s watching anymore. By February, the novelty wears off.The likes slow down.The accountability evaporates.The applause disappears. And that’s the moment most people quietly stop. Not because they’re untalented.Not because the idea was bad.But because the plan was built on motivation , no

I don’t manufacture talent. I amplify it. If the signal is real, the work is about clarity, structure, and momentum — not shortcuts or hype. That’s the lane. Nine North’s got your back. #ArtistDevelopment #MusicStrategy #AmplifyTheSignal #LongGame #IndieArtist #NineNorth #BuildItRight The work is about clarity. This is who we are.

If last year felt scattered, stalled, or stuck, it wasn’t bad luck. It was lack of structure. Talent isn’t the problem. Effort isn’t the problem. Direction is. This is the year you stop “figuring it out” alone and start building with intention. If you’re serious about growing your music like a career — with real strategy, real timelines, and real accountability — email me. 📩 larry@ninenorthmail.com Let’s turn motion into momentum.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is strange. The noise dies down. The calendars loosen. Most people check out. But this is where the next year actually starts. Not with resolutions. With decisions. What you keep doing. What you stop tolerating. What you finally commit to finishing. You don’t need to announce it. You don’t need to post about it yet. Just decide. January rewards the people who used this week well. If you need any tips, hit me up at larry@ninenorthmail.

not without gratitude. This season, I’m thankful for the chance to give — and to give in ways that actually matter. Honored to support organizations doing real work for people, animals, and communities who need it most: American Red Cross ASPCA Clean Water Fund Guiding Eyes for the Blind Habitat for Humanity National Public Radio The Nature Conservancy PBS Rare Animal Rescue Save the Children World Wildlife Fund From the Nine North family of artists and staff, wishing everyon

Artists complain about low engagement… but never comment on anything, anywhere. The algorithm rewards what you reward. Talk more. Respond more. Show up in other people’s comments. Social media is a conversation. Not a billboard. Want help building engagement that compounds? Email me: larry@ninenorthmail.com . Remember: Nine North’s got your back. Stop shouting. Start talking. This is us. Now and forever.

Chasing big numbers feels good. But the artists who win? They obsess over people, not metrics. Your next ten true fans are worth more than your next ten thousand streams. Fans talk. Fans convert. Fans stick. Streams don’t. Need help turning listeners into believers? Email me at larry@ninenorthmail.com . Nine North’s got your back. #MusicMarketing #ArtistGrowth #TrueFans #IndieArtist #FanEngagement #MusicBizTips Chasing big numbers feels good. It's not the win you think.

Don’t “drop” music. Launch it.   A drop is passive. A launch is intentional.   A drop hits DSPs. A launch hits people.   Tease it. Talk about it. Explain it. Show what it means.   Your song isn’t a surprise party. It’s a campaign.   Need a real rollout plan? Hit me up at larry@ninenorthmail.com . Nine North’s got your back. Your song isn’t a surprise party.

You’re stuck because you think your next post has to be genius. It doesn’t. Most great artists aren’t great because of ideas. They’re great because of execution. You don’t need magic. You need movement. Hit publish, learn, adjust, repeat. That’s how you get good. Want help shipping instead of stressing? Hit me: larry@ninenorthmail.com Most great artists aren’t great because of ideas.

Hey, I’m Larry from Nine North. If you’re posting once a month and wondering why growth is slow… it’s because fans can’t fall in love with a ghost. They need touchpoints. They need presence. They need you showing up often enough that they remember your name. Disappearing isn’t mysterious. It just kills momentum. Show up. Even small posts move the needle. Need help building a presence fans can feel? Email me: larry@ninenorthmail.com . Remember: Nine North’s got your back. Fans

Thanksgiving weekend is full of gratitude posts — and that’s a good thing. It’s healthy to slow down, look around, and appreciate the people who showed up for you this year. But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: Gratitude isn’t the thing that grows your career. What you do next is. If the holiday gives you a little clarity… use it. Take one small step you’ve been avoiding. Fix the mix. Share the clip. Check in with a fan. Send the email that’s been sitting in drafts

Hey, I’m Larry from Nine North. You don’t need one more thing to be ready. Not one more logo.  Not one more lyric revision.  Not one more Canva graphic. You need to move.   The artists who win? They launch, then level up.  They don’t wait for perfect—they build in public. So if you’re “almost ready”…  Congrats—you’re ready. Let’s go. For help moving from stuck to shipped, hit me at larry@ninenorthmail.com .  And remember—Nine North’s got your back. #MusicMarketing #IndieArt

Hey, I’m Larry from Nine North. Scared to post because it might flop? Here’s the deal: The algorithm doesn’t care if it’s perfect. It rewards reps. It rewards boldness. It rewards *real.* Your fear of bombing? That’s killing more momentum than any bad post ever could. So experiment. Be weird. Say something that actually means something. Because brave content builds brave fans. It builds the tribe you need to succeed. Let’s get your content strategy aligned—email me at...

If your music is “for everyone,” it’s actually for *no one.* The best artists? They *polarize.* They know who they’re talking to—and who they’re not. You’re not trying to win over the whole world. You’re trying to reach *your world.* So speak their language. Post like you know them. Build for *them.* Because when you narrow your focus, you *amplify* your impact. Need help finding your people?

The concert doesn’t begin at showtime. I t begins the moment you announce it. Every post, every story, every invite—that’s part of the show. Fans should feel the energy before  they walk in the door.
