What We’re Looking For at MixtapeHustler.com

Mixtape Hustler is built for independent artists, producers, and music entrepreneurs who are actually in the trenches—not theory, not fluff.

Before you contribute, please make sure your content aligns with the standards below.

✅ Content We Want

• Real-world music strategy — marketing, growth, monetization, and distribution that actually works.
• First-hand experience — what you’ve done, what failed, what worked, and what you learned.
• Education with purpose — content that helps artists move smarter, not harder.
• Original perspectives — new angles over recycled advice.
• Actionable takeaways — readers should know exactly what to do next.

🚫 Content We Don’t Publish

• Generic or AI-flavored fluff
• Promotional content or ads disguised as articles
• “Get famous overnight” myths
• Copied or repurposed blog content
• Anything that shows no understanding of indie music culture

✍️ Writing Style

• Clear, direct, and honest
• No gatekeeping, no industry ego
• Educate without talking down
• If you wouldn’t say it to another indie artist face-to-face, don’t write it

🎯 Our Goal

Every post should help independent artists build leverage, ownership, and long-term momentum.

If your content aligns with this mission, you’re in the right place.
