Choose a goal that is specific and achievable, and then give yourself a timeframe to accomplish it. Don’t just say, “I want to be a famous singer one day.” Try something like, “I want to sing at an outdoor venue this summer.” Then take the steps to get there. It may not pay a lot, but getting paid to sing will help you validate your potential as a singer. You may have to do a few initial gigs for free, but once you get yourself out there, it will become easier to find paying work.  Look for gigs singing at a restaurant or lounge, for weddings or parties, as a backup singer for another group, in a theatre production, or even a talent competition. Writing your own songs would be a huge boost to your credibility. But don’t feel bad if writing isn’t your thing—a lot of singers rely on others to write their songs for them. The goal here is to put out some fresh new music instead of relying solely on cover songs. If you opt to have someone write your songs for you, you then have to decide whether to give them credit or contract them as a ghost writer. In general, fans appreciate the honesty. Network in person and online to get to know more people in the music field. Other singers and professionals were once in your position and they may have experiences and advice that they would like to share with you. Just ask.  The more people you know, the more opportunities you create for yourself. By meeting one person, you have the potential to connect with their other connections as well. If there is someone who you want to know, try flattering them. Say something like, “You are an amazing performer. You always look so calm and at ease on stage. How do you do it?” Spend as much time as you can hanging out in places where successful musicians/producers meet. Go to clubs and dance halls and act like you're part of the industry, even if they don't know who you are. When planning a vacation, try to go to a city known for music. Travel to places like Nashville, Memphis, NYC, LA, New Orleans, Austin or Las Vegas and mix it up with the local musicians. As you get more into your music career—especially if you are balancing other responsibilities like work, school, or family—you may find it difficult to keep up with everything. A manager can help you stay organized and will help with promoting you and advancing your career.  Use your manager to help find gigs, plan events, handle money, and make long-term plans.  The standard pay for managers is a 15% commission. However, you may be able to save some money in the early stages of your career by enlisting the help of a supportive and business-minded friend or family member.  The most important thing about finding a manager, is finding one that fits you. Make sure they are trustworthy, personable, and have the skills needed to help you succeed.
