We all know some classic sentences arguing that investing on your own career is a must :"it takes money to make money" is maybe the one who sounds the most true to me. Indeed, if you aim a benefit from your music activity, you have to think as a profesional. And a profesional does investments on critical aspect of his business. But it’s not about huge amounts, it’s about little things that help you to fix big details. Here is a list of 10 things i’ve already paid for in my music career, that were very usefull, so that I considered as investments. Buy a .com domain : with only $15 a year, your name is well foundable on google, and looks profesional. A responsive layout for your website is a must : it helps your visitors feel comfortable and spend more time on your pages. Not everybody is a GFX genius. For a few bucks, you could get a clean logo and / or nice needed artwork.   Fiverr could help you on this one. Better drums for better placements is the   !llmind’s
