Ik I'm not a big artist, yet but I still wanna spread the word to some upcoming artist because this is such an amazing opportunity. The new generation of musicians/ youtubers coming up are using YT shorts to grain new fans/ subscribers before even putting out long form content. I can't tell you how many times I see Youtubers use this method to build there fans base, some I'm gonna to link at the end. There is this youtuber named, "MMontra" I've been following bro for a min, and what he did was put out a ton of shorts consistently, waited till his fans started begging for long form content, then put out his first video. Now keep in mind, even though his channel looks like he had less shorts, he actually private them cuz Ik for a fact he used to have a ton of shorts and was grinding for a min. But if you still need some convincing, then let's move on to my next example. There is this upcoming indie musician named, "carrjond" who i just found randomly. What he is doing is just making tons of YT shorts and putting them out constantly (like seriously dude post like everyday), and puts out songs here and there. Instead of just posting a ton of his music, he's making shorts and as he growing, he puts out a song here in there. Just before you say, "oh it only works for indie artist" may I add a rapper name, "babychiefdoit" him and his team puts out tons of YT shorts everyday, granted he's already blew up, he's still getting his name out there. Another rapper raq baby is doing the same thing, and so on and so forth. In conclusion, you'll dumbass better hop on this before it turns into the next TikTok, it's new and barely any artist are using it, call it the new soundcloud or tiktok if so. You'll better hop on it before other musicians and content creators hop on it. Every decade or so we get a new platform that artist can post and gain fans organically. Me and my homie just started months ago and we gained subscribers outta no where. Hop on it before it's too late. Mmonta: https://youtube.com/@moremontaa?si=F2u8XyBKj4mPIwXY

and why do you do it first!

Just watched this on YouTube https://youtu.be/_ygZBzLDl8g?si=Fq_F0c1uC-51yau- How much of their relationship beef do you think is publicity stunts to promo their music? Cardi is a reality tv star Or do you think it was all real? Or when you’re that famous and been that famous for that long there ceases to be a difference between publicity stunts and real drama?

Hey all... Just joined a few minutes ago. Great to see so many new artists here. I'm a college student and interning at a music venue that primarily has smaller indie artists playing there. I created this promo playbook that we give out to our booked artists to give them some marketing strategies they can use to sell more tickets and bring in some more bread. Hope you enjoy, let me know if you need anything clarified. Jake :) Pre-Sale & Countdown Strategy Tease the Announcement (2+ weeks before): - "Something’s coming… any guesses?" (Post a blurred-out venue pic, setlist hints, etc.) - "If we did a show in [city], who’s pulling up?" (Story poll to gauge interest & engagement) Build Fan Excitement (1 week before): - Ask for Fan Input: "What song NEEDS to be on the setlist?" - Early Opt-In: "DM us ‘FIRST’ for an early access ticket link before anyone else." Final Push Before Tickets Drop (24 hours before): - "Tomorrow. 10AM." - Use story reminders, countdown stickers, and pinned posts to drive urgency... You want your fans excited and ready to get those tickets before they sell out. Ticket Sales Strategies 1. Social Media Engagement-Based Giveaways - Tag-to-Win: "Tag 3 friends in the comments and share this post for a chance to win 4 (or however many you please) free tickets*!" - Follow & Share: "Follow [artist], repost this story, and tag us for a chance to win tickets*!" - Best Comment Wins: "Comment your favorite song + tag a friend.

I tried the fan page method I think 3 months ago, and the method works no doubt. Now what I did wassI made the page seem like my homeboy made it, so it looked authentic since I didn't blow up or get a audience yet. Then everyday for 3 months straight, I scrolled for 20 mins a day and everything I stopped on a reel or youtube video of a music artist, I analyze it and ask myself, "what made me stop on this," and "how can make the same thing to promote my music." And I started getting views ever so slightly. I'll link the fan page Instagram (I know I don't got no large amount of followers, but the views coming up tho) Fan page: https://www.instagram.com/truvaulttt?igsh=MWpxZXgxeGU2amMzbQ==
