In this video podcast episode of the Every Sing Podcast, host Nancy Bos interviews John Henney, a voice‑teacher‑turned‑entrepreneur who mentors other teachers and singers on marketing and business growth. John shares how he moved from a successful private studio to opening a 2,000‑sq‑ft music academy, the financial challenges he faced, and how learning Facebook advertising turned a $300‑$400 ad spend into a $3,000 monthly revenue boost, eventually tripling the academy’s income. He explains why an abundance mindset is essential, how to view competition as opportunity, and outlines a three‑track business model: the physical academy, one‑on‑one mentorship for voice teachers, and coaching singers. John introduces a framework for musicians – audience, venue, and message – and stresses the importance of defining a specific avatar (niche) to tailor marketing. He describes his “plan, schedule, execute” workflow, the struggle with ADD and finishing projects, and the value of deep‑work practices. John also talks about his online Facebook‑ads course for teachers, his two podcasts (The Intelligent Vocalist and Studio Marketing Secrets), and the role of books as authority‑building business cards. He recommends productivity tools (Evernote, Scrivener, Trello, Blank Page) and shares resources (johnhenney.com, Patreon). Throughout, the conversation blends practical marketing tactics with the artistic mindset of singers, emphasizing that marketing is the only thing that can unlock a teacher’s or singer’s potential.
