Guns and Roses broke at the end of the "glam metal" era. Their sound heralded a return to a more grittier sound in rock several years before grunge came calling. Their album, "Appetite For Destruction" took the rock world by storm and made household names out of Axle and Slash virtually overnight. On this week's Loudini Rock & Roll Circus we take a look back at this classic album and impact that it made on music resonating with fans and musicians to this very day.

We have told you that you need a funnel to filter fans into your world. You have set up an awesome funnel that sends people to your free offer, download or Facebook group, but then the obvious question becomes... How do I get people to my funnel in the first place? I'm glad you asked that! On today's podcast take a step back and show you the way that you need to think to start the process of generating traffic.
Check out the podcast here https://youtu.be/cHFA1zOS88s
Topics Discussed:
traffic + conversions = CASH!
What's the foundation?
Get their attention
3 kinds of traffic:
paid...rented to go into your funnel
earned traffic... no paying for it directly gathered manually by hustling
know yourself... your resources... what works best for you
Owned... once you have them
Understand your market... your message... your avatar
Create a "deep connection" with the fans that you are trying to draw to you
"Piggy backing" off of trends
Looking for inspiration... what things are your audience interested in?
Example:
1 song per month
create memes for the song
performance video
lyric video
pieces of song and lyrics
"serialize" your music

KISS example... grounded in adolescence dreams
