  The expanding lineup of women’s exclusive  Air Jordan 11s  will grow this holiday season when the “Animal Instinct” variation makes its retail debut. Beginning with a black suede base, the shoe is highlighted by a white and black faux fur animal print overlay. The Jumpman logo is blacked out, but hits of red provide a little pop on the heel and ‘23’ numbering on the heel. A white midsole and smoky translucent sole help wrap things up below. In addition to women’s, the “Animal Instinct” Jordan 11 will release in preschool and toddler sizing on Nov. 26 (Black Friday) according to  zSneakerheadz .

Read on for ideas to tap additional revenue streams, generate greater publicity, and protect your music. As we’ve talked about many times in previous blog posts as well as our book,   Making Money With Music , the final track you release to the public is just one thing that can earn you money from songwriting. Yes, it’s the release of your music that will generate buzz, streams, downloads, and royalties, but there are many other revenue-producing elements to your songwriting, recording, and mixing processes — but only if you plan for them and capture them during creation and recording. We call this technique “making music with money in mind.” This is the first article in a series that explores how to reimagine how you make music so you can make more money. Best of all, we’re exploring what you can do to generate more money just by creating music in the first place, whi...

  Have you ever gone out for drinks with your friends, and it turns out they’ve brought along another friend who you don’t already know? It might feel a little weird at first, but as soon as you get to talking you realize that you actually get along really well with this new person—and the more you hang out with them, the more of their personality you get to see, the more you realize you’d actually like to keep hanging out with them even after this. This is exactly what a social media takeover is. Another account invites you to hang out with their audience and throughout the day they get to see who you are, and when it resonates, they’ll want to follow you and continue getting to know you outside the takeover. But if you’re new to the world of takeovers, it’s not uncommon for it to feel a little overwhelming as you get your bearings. If that’s you, don’t sweat it! This guide is here to help you secure your very first takeover and make an incredible impression along the way. What is...

One of the biggest myths for musicians when it comes to getting publicity and media attention is that all it takes is to do something cool and newsworthy. Truth is, media coverage rarely happens without a push by the people who want coverage. In fact, nearly everything you see covered in the media is actively promoted behind the scenes. But you can win this game once you understand the rules and do what publicists do: actively reach out to those media outlets that are hungry for new content to talk about. To help, we’ve put together 10 tips and techniques you should use to promote yourself and generate publicity for your music. 1. Always have your “publicity lens” on When it comes to generating media coverage, you need to look at everything you do through a publicity lens. Ask yourself:  “Is t...
