Welcome to Musicians Tip Jar where we talk about musicians and money. We believe all musicians have an endorsement match waiting out there for them. I’m Chris Webb, joined by my co-host and the guy who fits better here than the Dali Lama and Doritos, the Chip-Monk himself, Dave Tamkin.

Today our guest Zoë Moff breaks down her solid method for getting endorsement deals, how to keep them, and what it’s like to walk on stage at a sold out Red Rocks show for the first time.

We are diving into endorsements today, and our guest Zoe Moff gives her tips on how it has worked for her. She is a recording engineer, bassist, and recent graduate of the University of Colorado. She is such an inspiration as she shares her story, which started with performing as a young teen in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and led to performing to a sold out crowd at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater.

“Endorsements and sponsorships are basically an exchange. They’re not going to give you free products or discounts if you have nothing to offer them.” - Zoë Moff

The Hungry for Music story began in 1992, when founder and director Jeff Campbell organized a street musician concert to benefit the homeless. Within three years, he formed a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to expanding opportunities in music for children.
Since then, Hungry for Music has placed more than 20,000 instruments in the hands of aspiring musicians. Children whose trajectory has been altered by the uplifting and life-changing gift of music.

They have delivered everything from guitars and trombones to violins and xylophones to kids in 50 states and 32 countries.They collect and redistribute more than 1,000 instruments annually, and, in our 29-year journey, they’ve become a full-time force for good in the musical community.

Action:

1. Make a short list of ideas for your own endorsement deal. Use Zoe’s approach by listing a few of the brands you already use and love. Find ones that can fit your story in a unique way and do your research on how to approach them.

As always, Thanks for joining us, and remember, there is already enough for everyone, you just need to know how to get it. Until next time, on behalf of Dave Tamkin and myself, Chris Webb. Stay happy, healthy, and wealthy. One day your life will flash before your eyes too, so make sure it’s what you want to see.
