Why music is less valuable than expertise and information

Today had me thinking about two questions that i want to address with you… Is music less valuable than expertise and quality information? And is this why music cannot be sold for high prices?

Unfortunately, just knowing something, or having experienced something, doesn’t mean all that much. At least in terms of creating and adding value to peoples lives. Although there are many things that you can grasp and understand creatively and in the realms of your own thinking, this is NOT where the value comes from. With any content that you create, whether its an article, a book, a program, or a song… The value doesn’t come from your knowledge, the value is created by you speaking directly to an immediately recognizable  issue/thought or feeling. With information products, you then of course uncover the solutions that you’ve found and explain how people can use them to improve some aspect of their lives or business.

Creating High Value Information Products

For some reason, working with experts, (my clients – authors/speakers/consultants/creative professionals) identifying a clear target market and niche strategy is something people still think they don’t have to do. As if it doesn’t fully apply to THEM. I know you get sick of hearing about it, and everyone certainly does harp on the importance of defining and zeroing in on an audience, but let me assure you, there is GOOD reason for that.

If you do not know WHO you are talking to, then HOW will you reach them? You won’t.

Vague is not good. It’s a clear indication that you have an unrefined solution, and makes you look like you are still early in the development of your brand message, and becoming of a go-to expert in your arena.
