Welcome to the 21st century where money makes the world go round. Wait, 21st Or 22nd century? I am as confused as you right now but let’s not digress from the main reason you are here.

Did you know that 2 out of 7 music creators just like you end up hitting the spotlight due to lack of funds or inability to subscribe to “the music game?” And of course, poor music production is a factor but having done due diligence in writing a lovely song and producing it, the beautiful art just isn’t enough to put them in the spotlight. Money is needed to move up the hierarchy!

Well, we have put up 3 secret tips to help you journey this path with ease…maybe not totally easy but it is a step ahead of others;

Triple F (Friends, Family, and Foes)

Yes, you read right “foes.”

Heard the saying, “bad news sells faster?”

Exactly! But in this case, you don’t necessarily have to do something awful. You already have those who think you are awful (funny but true). The moment your music convinces them, you just won yourself a fan who is very likely to support you going forward.

The world is quite small and every person is connected to another by relationships, business, school, etc. this is where your family and friends come in. Good music has a way of filling that void and a void filled is content shared. Your friends, family, or foes are your best bet to reaching out to a larger crowd. This time, word of mouth does the trick!

Content Creators
Be on the lookout for content creators and be willing to make custom music if needed. Most content creators on platforms like Tiktok, YouTube, and Twitch need music to go along with their content. This puts your music in front of millions of people who interact with the content and that’s a win for you. Although, you’ll want to keep your outreach short and valuable when contacting content creators because most content creators already receive tons of offers each day, so you’ll want yours to be relatable. Choose content creators according to your type of music.

Social Media
A good sound is one thing, a well-thought strategy for consistently creating content surrounding your music is another. As an upcoming artist with a low promotion budget, social media is the best way to reach more people who in turn are converted into fans. Create a list of ideas that you can turn into posts and schedule yourself to create content around that idea.

Remember, social media isn’t about you, it is about your fans. Look for like-minded persons, people who share the same ideas, people who inspire you, and people who need that voice and content you are sharing from your music. Harnessing the power of social media is one way to promote yourself and be the artist you deserve to be!

So here you have it, the secret spilled.

But, what if there’s a way to combine these three tips into one big leap? Would you take it?

What if you could have a platform that allows you access to hundreds of thousands of listeners who are willing to listen and promote you? A platform that allows you to earn as a creator! A platform that allows your fans to invest in you directly! No middleman, no cuts.

Just you and your fans in one. A platform built specifically for you!
