You Could Market Just Talking to People

Ok, I know it sounds incredibly simple, but it will cost you a bit of money... You're here because you're a serious artist so that doesn't matter right? So here's the scoop; you can run ads that drive people to your dm inbox. Now I know this doesn't seem valuable, but let me tell you why it is!

People Love to talk to the artist

I know that you're not famous yet, but people don't know that. Every single person that you comment back to or respond to in any fashion are extremely hype that you did!

Let's take this to short content... Half of them didn't even look at your profile as long as you reach their "for you page." When you comment back to someone they don't expect it in the first place.

Let's imagine a system in which you could post your music; and the only option is for them to message you directly! Well, this is actually a tangible option in 2022. Now, this is going to require time and patience, but it works.

It's truly simple, create an ad based on your music. Set the ad to dm only, and talk to the people that come in!

They say it only takes 1,000 fans to make it, talk to some of these people and convert them into a forever listener. I'm doing this right now and typically get 5 streams per listener which is extremely high.

The DAW You Should Start With

So maybe you haven't started recording, but you really want to, right? If I had to give you any advice it would be to download Abelton 11.

Ableton is one of the easiest places to make music at this rate. Don't believe me? Watch this vocal recording guide. In less than 20 minutes you'll understand every basic recording dynamic within the software. If you want a mix to go with it download free vocal presets from Baywood Audio.

Artist of the week: Cyril

This guy is literally the god of marketing when it comes to the TikTok game. If you want to learn Tik-Tok please take a look at his profile and take some notes.

Now, I'm not just saying this because he gets numbers, he's got me numbers. Cyril and I just dropped a song. I simply gave him a narrative and he took it to the next level, getting over 1 MILLON reach on our song.

His editing style is immaculate, his ability to take a simple narrative is pure excellence. This is the type of guy I'd pay for a consultation. If you don't know how to market yourself via short content hit him up.

Who should be the featured artist next week? Submit your song here!

The smoothest white boy in the game. Look, I know this freestyle ended within 2 minutes but he really said more than most of these rappers would say within an 8-minute freestyle.

Nah bro, he really killed this.

Notable lyrics

100% my favorite freestyle I've shared with you guys yet and I've never even heard of him until today.
