Something I have always been huge on ever since I started making music is to constantly be improving.

I’m feeling stretched pretty thin this week, with a lot of work to do on the website, finishing my t-shirt, and trying to finish multiple songs and beats.  Sometimes I wish I could add about 10 hours to my day, but I realize I can’t.  These days it’s about prioritizing my time and making sure the most important things get done first.  My hard work is starting to pay off, as I am now getting a lot more traffic from search engines.  I rank number one for “Up and Coming Rap” and several similar variations, which is huge for me.

I started marketing myself on Twitter this last week, which has built me several new relationships and brought me some new wonderful fans, even a few that want to collaborate from across the world. I never thought Twitter could be as good as it has been.  My followers have jumped from 97 before marketing, to over 300 in just over a week.  A lot of which are from my target market, which is important as I build my brand locally first.  I’m still getting the hang of it, but I can see Twitter being a big part of my success in 2011.
