Part 3/7:
Enter the 80/20 rule, a concept rooted in Pareto’s principle. Initially observed in land ownership in Spain, where 20% of the population owned 80% of the land, this principle also applies to various sectors, including business and music. For artists like the one in this narrative, it translates to understanding that 80% of results typically stem from a mere 20% of efforts.
With this newfound perspective, the artist began scrutinizing which efforts resulted in tangible fan growth, increased streams, and improved income. The key takeaway here was to eliminate the frivolous activities that consumed time and focus efforts on strategies that truly resonated with their audience.
