Social Media Basics For Musicians and Bands

In this article we will cover how to develop as a craftsman for certain online media essentials.

Assuming that you're simply beginning, this is for you! Online media can overpower. There are 

SO MANY stages out there it can get befuddling on where to try and begin. The key is to simply begin! 

Making a muddled move and pushing ahead is superior to remaining in one spot. Keep in mind, 

improvement over great! We should go over a few web-based media fundamentals for artists and 

groups.

 


 


Tip #1: Stay Focused


Before you begin attempting to become social, it's ideal to pick which stage you will zero in on 

developing. I don't prescribe attempting to grow 4 distinct stages all at once. Chances are you will be 

overpowered and the stages won't really stand out enough to be noticed; they need to develop rapidly.


Choose 1 or 2 stages to begin.


Choosing which stage to pick is basic. What kind of content do you appreciate making most?


  • On the off chance that it's a video, TikTok or Youtube is most likely awesome for you.

  • In the event that it's pictures, posts, and a couple of recordings to a great extent perhaps

    Instagram or Facebook is ideal.


Consider your objective fan base too:


  • Assuming that your fan base is essentially the more youthful age (under 25) TikTok is

     the go to.

  • Instagram is more famous for the 18-35 age range.

  • Assuming you have an expansive scope of fans, Facebook or Youtube may be the

    better choice.


Whatever platform(s) you pick, keep fixed on developing them 1 or 2 all at once. Get familiar with the 

favored approaches to posting on that stage, the times that work best, and the right hashtags to utilize! 

This will assist you with developing as a craftsman via web-based media.           

 

Tip #2: Be Consistent With Your Content

Now we are going to dive into creating your content. I don’t mean designing fancy images and making 

nice videos – I mean the meat and potatoes of what you are going to post. When it comes to social

media basics for musicians and bands, this can be one of the most important points.


Choose Your Categories

  • The first thing to do to get a handle on your socials (see what I did there) is to first choose what

     you are going to post about. 

  • Choose 4-6 categories that are going to be your core content. 

  • Consistency is key for content creation, and having your categories picked out makes deciding 

    what to post MUCH easier.


How Do I Pick My Categories?

  • This is going to be a huge part of your social presence and branding. Ask yourself – How do I 

    want to show up on social media?

  • People LOVE connection. It’s ultimately what is going to turn listeners into fans, and fans into 

    die-hard fans. 

  • Choose things that you are going to love posting about!


So for example – You are a country artist who loves dogs, fishing, cooking, and travelling. Use those

as your categories!

  • Dogs

  • Fishing

  • Cooking

  • Travel

  • Music


Now you have essentially created your persona, which will help with creating your brand!


Why Do We Choose 4-6 Categories?


Maybe you are so busy playing shows and creating in the studio that music can take up the places of 

two categories.


Likewise, maybe you don’t play live or have as many music based things to post about. Or maybe you 

are passionate about so many things you want to incorporate more of your personal life into your brand.


Just do what feels best for you. Trust your gut and intuition here – trust your gut and intuition always!

Although   Song Pitching   may appear to be a straightforward process, there are several factors that come into play. Many writers have submitted what they believe to be their best songs and become disappointed when they receive no response or cut. Unfortunately, an artist or publisher is not interested in what you consider to be your best work, particularly if you are pitching to a mainstream artist. Ultimately, they are looking for songs that can sell. While it’s important to create original and unique music, it’s also essential to consider the commercial scene’s expectations. Stepping outside the box with your  Song Pitching  is acceptable, and it’s how music evolves. However, a pitch that doesn’t resonate with the target audience can harm your reputation as a songwriter.

Online Song Publishing

Songs on a website are audio files that are stored on the website's web server. To upload a song from one website to another, you must first download the song's audio file from the first website's server, and then you can upload it to the other website's server. This can be a handy technique to share songs that you have created for your small business.   Online song publishing   can be done across several websites for promotion. Only do this with songs that you have created and have the rights to or songs that the artist has given permission for you to share, as it is illegal to share copyrighted songs. For online song publishing, you need to follow the below mentioned steps: Open your Internet browser and navigate to the page containing the song file link. Right-click on the song link. Click on "Save As" (Mac) or "Save Link Target As..." (Windows) in the drop-down menu. Save the song file to your computer, making a note of the location where the fil...
