We need to talk about Muni Long. For those of you who don't know her, she just won a Grammy for Best R&B performance, beating out the likes of Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige. But here's the kicker... rewind just 18 months and she had 0 monthly listeners. Yes, you read that correctly, 0. To be clear, we're not talking about overnight success here. This journey took dedication, perseverance, and taking some risks. When her first EP dropped in July 2021 her songs were getting less than 100 streams per day. During that time Muni would... - Shoot down her own ideas down before she even started making the content. - Compare her results to other people's, putting unnecessary pressure on herself. - Felt like content that performed poorly made her a "failure" But then, a series of creative posts on TikTok/IG Reels in addition to utilizing her connections on socials led to one of her tracks (which wasn't even a single) going from less than 100 streams on Spotify per day to more than 20,000 per day — in just 3 weeks. That song didn't even prove to be her biggest hit that year... following this strategy and applying some key takeaways from the first campaign ensured that her track, "Hrs & Hrs" racked up more than 50,000 streams per day. And here's another kicker... that track wasn't even a single and it only came out on November 21st that year, and yet it became the 7th most streamed song on Apple Music of 2021. Now, I'm sure what you're most interested in is what was this strategy that Muni Long was using? Well, we've since gone on to name this strategy "The 90 Day Blueprint" and Muni is just one example of how effective it has been for artists in a similar position to you.

Is there a tool out there for YouTube tags and how relevant they are? I want to see on a day-to-day basis what tags are most relevant so I can decide whether or not to use them or maybe switch gears to a different type of content during that day.

I created this ChatGPT prompt to properly identify your target audience & create target personas. 👁️ Prompt 1️⃣ - Only fill out the sections that say Write here "Music Genre: [Write Your Genre Here] Message Behind the Music: [Write Your message here] Additional Information: [Write any other info here such as generally known interests e.g. TV shows, games, festivals, foods, drugs, other music, specific artists] Identify the Target Audience Profile based on the information below: Demographics: [Describe the age range, gender, location, and cultural background of my ideal audience] Interests: [Outline the interests, hobbies, or activities that align with my music and message] Values: [Identify the values or beliefs that resonate with my ideal audience] Aspirations: [Highlight the aspirations or goals that my target audience may have] Communities for Audience Reach: Online Communities: [Suggest online platforms, social media groups, forums, or websites where my target audience may gather] Offline Communities: [Suggest offline spaces, events, venues, or organizations where I can connect with my target audience]" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the target audience has been generated, use this prompt to create two target personas, Prompt 2️⃣ "Now I would like you to create two specific target personas based on this target audience showcasing 5 specific interests, aspirations, values, and online communities they would hang out in" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will not only help you define the target audience, but come up with specific personas to gain an even deeper understanding of who you're trying to reach. You can use this to create content that is much more meaningful to them that will resonate much more. I hope this serves you well🥷🏽

With myself just getting into creating content (other than music itself)... What content creators should i be looking at for inspiration? Who here has seen any success with streams from your content and are you still consistently seeing wins even with the changes made to these social media platforms? Talk to me 👀

God bless you all I’m Tx3 and I wish you all the best and anything is possible just put the work in and keep the faith! I am a quadriplegic that was paralyzed four years ago from a vehicle accident. It's a blessing to still be here. We all are here for a reason and have a purpose and the next hour is not promise so make the best out of this moment!

yo, how y`all deal with self-doubt, depression, as creatives? Recently been feeling numb, and kinda disconnected with this world.

what's the best way to go about sync licensing? I have plenty of songs I feel like would be great for shows or movies and I've been hearing this is a great way to start seeing real money of your music. Part of me just wants to keep dropping and once I get that notoriety it'll be a lot easier but I also feel like I've been dropping to the same/slightly bigger crowds. Kind of feel like I should push my old product hard than once I see real traction of that I can hit em with the new shit. Any advice? Preciate it in advance

Artist...

Will be going to new york this weekend. Looking for an affordable videographer to shoot some clips for my video. Let me know if you are or know somebody who shoots, thanks.

Hi! I’m new to this platform so I’m not sure if this is the place to ask this but can we get the links to the videos of the module “21 TikTok Post Strategies That Boost Streams” of the 90 day blueprint? Thanks

The tool is called Tome. For those who have to make a lot of sales calls, marketing strategy calls, pitching new ideas, reviewing finances and more, tomb is a PowerPoint builder. It can help you fully build out an entire PowerPoint with themes, images, and curated text utilizing ChatGpt 3.5 & Dal E. 2, with just one simple prompt. For Example, I made this PowerPoint attached below by inputting this prompt, "Create a presentation showing how Tome can be used for a music Exec". I Literally did not edit anything else and it created this from the simple prompt generation. You can also make you own edits, add your own images and a whole bunch of other stuff included in their free plan. Their pro plan lets you download the PowerPoint, otherwise you'll have to screenshot and merge them into a PDF. Neat tool to speed up this process exponentially for the Execs and artists looking to pitch an idea solo. Hope this serves you well 🥷🏽

So we know ChatGPT can conduct market research for you but the information available is only limited to 2021 so you have to go back and verify a lot of the information provided. For some more updated results, utilize this free extension which can be added to Chrome and Opera Browser (not sure if it works for other browsers but you can test it out). It gives ChatGPT internet access. It's called WebChatGPT - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/webchatgpt-chatgpt-with-i/lpfemeioodjbpieminkklglpmhlngfcn/related Comment below if you'd like to see how I've used this in my own market research, marketing efforts, competitive analysis and more!

All of these platforms offer ad-marketing resources that allow us to reach their cache of available subscribers. I've noticed that a lot of people are spending so much money promoting on TikTok, IG, Facebook, Twitter and the likes in order to lead them back to Spotify & YouTube, instead of just running ads on Spotify & YouTube 🤯. I don't know what the hell a song blowing up on TikTok/IG has to do with the numbers going up on Spotify, and I'm not even gonna try to make it make sense. So many individuals with millions of subscribers are getting millions of likes but can't even sell 1,000 albums because there's a big diff between a follower and a consumer. Sorry for going off on a tangent, but: just focus on spending your money where you'll atleast be able to getting a little of it back. Once you get enough money back from Spotify after consistently promoting, (preferably 6 to 8 months worth) there are companies out there willing to generate an advance in exchange for a percentage of your royalties and pub. My bad for the tangent again, just thinking 🤔 OAN: Don't underestimate a fan... they don't need to constantly see you in order to check for you. Mystique actually attracts the base to the artist. Having to wait on press to deliver news about the artist is way more eventful than watching these mf oversaturate the feed with content

Who here has had any success or experience using audiomack or doing direct to fan sales? As opposed to just only focusing on the DSPS, what’s some other ways to get fans to directly support the music that you all have seen?

Joining brandman network has been so helpful as a new artist!! Honestly their YouTube channel gives so much value, thank you to everyone who shares on this platform, this is a safe and supportive community fr!

Who else watched that new Brandman and Larussel interview? So many gems. @Brandman Network When we getting any footage from the show tho? 👀

Glad to be here ready for the sauce. My artist name is ShaNoBe i just started but i think im nice⚡ check me out 😎

Hey everyone, I've been reflecting on why I joined this group in the first place. I joined to find a community of people who were also taking a chance on this art thing and were intentional about making things happen. If you think of all the incredible sounds that change music-- the eras, the sounds, the producers, and musicians we think of when we think of music from certain decades--a lot of those moments were created through collaboration. If you are interested in collaborating, please comment down below! I'm talking beat makers, vocalists, instrumentalists, rappers, writers... Anyone. Let us know in the comments what your music feels like, or what mood it's giving. For example, do you make moody music? feel good music? conscious music? etc. The more descriptive, the easier it is for others with the same vibe to find you. I'm a writer who sings, produces, arranges, and raps. The music I make is positive, sometimes moody, harmony-driven, with honest lyrics. If you're interested in collabing with me specifically, feel free to private message. I answer my DMs. Team work makes that dream work!

In this music era what do you think is more important. Radio or playlist?

https://blog.symphonic.com/2023/05/23/7-new-facts-about-twitters-algorithm-you-may-have-missed/ I've been focused on learning as much as I can about how to use each platform efficiently, and have historically been the weakest at Twitter. Stumbled on this short blog post highlighting some key things about how to get the most out of the platform. Hope this helps!

I found a short reel of a Nicki Minaj interview with Elliot where she expounded on how much the industry has drastically changed over the course of her career. She stated that record labels are opting to sign popular acts over the most talented ones. I thought about it 🤔... and it makes perfect sense because if that talent doesn't have a following, it can't be profitable to the labels. Back in the g, labels would shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars on an artist's development. Nowadays, they seem to prefer for the talent to come already developed with a nice following attached to it. I know this is probably common sense to y'all, but I still find this to be an interesting bit of info Link to vid below: https://youtu.be/ch1mLeidnFI

I've learned from Sean and Jacorey that posting lyrics on Genius could strengthen an artist's digital footprint. I must've sat for like an hour typing out 5 of my songs and posting them to the site. Have any of you been updating song lyrics on Genius? If not, create an account today
