Last week we spoke about how being yourself, looking the part and investing in professional photos can help to improve your branding. Here are three more tips just for you. 👍

👩🏾‍🎤 Be consistent.

Have clear, consistent branding with your profile name, handles, and display photos across social media platforms.

👩🏾‍🎤 Ensure synchronisation across social media platforms.

You should be sending the same message across all marketing channels. Whether it be social media, your artist website, interviews, etc., use the same logos, colour palettes, and tone. This ensures that you aren’t confusing your target audience. Remember, these elements should be in line with you and your personality.

👩🏾‍🎤 Develop your visual identity.

Your visual elements can affect how people perceive you as well as their thoughts on what they expect to see when they visit your website or social media. So think of your visual elements as an extension of your music and you. If someone were to come across your cover art, for example, what would their first impression be?

There you have it, three more tips to help you improve your branding.

If you've been looking to improve your branding as an artist, here are three tips to help you out!

👩🏾‍🎤 Be yourself

This is quite possibly the most important tip there is, as everything else is an extension of this one tip. Staying true to yourself helps create an authentic personal brand that clearly communicates who you are and what you stand for. This is a sure way to attract potential listeners and build trust between you and your audience.

👩🏾‍🎤 Look the part.

Your image is a great way to market yourself when you are not performing, so be intentional about how you put yourself together when going to events.

👩🏾‍🎤 Invest in professional artist photos.

Professional photos help to build your brand and convey professionalism that fans and other onlookers respond to.

Collaboration can prove to be a precious asset to the creative process for musicians. ⚡️

But for collaboration to be most effective, it takes a level of open-mindedness and trust in the people you are working with.

Many of the songs we know and love today result from multiple minds coming together to focus on a shared goal, which is, the best possible outcome for the music/song being created; in Rick Rubin’s words “the best thing for the whole thing.” ✨

When was the last time you collaborated on a song/project? 🤔

10/05/2023

Let’s do a quick recap.

A casual fan is someone who came across your song/music and liked it.

They probably follow you and will engage with your content every once in a while, but despite taking a liking to your music, they aren't very passionate about you. 😀

Superfans, on the other hand, are your diehard audience. 🤩

They are keen to share your music with anyone who will listen, are active and engaged with your online content, and are always eager to hear from you. They support you in any way they can, whether it be streaming your songs, purchasing tickets to your shows, and so much more.

This is why it is no surprise that these fans account for a big (if not the biggest) portion of your revenue. 😌

So tell us, which would you rather have? Let us know in the comments 💭

“Failing to prepare is preparing to fail”, or in this case, preparing to not make the most out of your new release!

If you want to increase the chances of the success of your music while simultaneously attracting listeners, encouraging saves/downloads, and engaging with your fans, then doing these things before your next release is an absolute must!

🌟 Set a release date that allows you ample time to effectively plan exactly how you’d like to go about your release, as well as prepare all the supporting materials that will be required.

🌟 Update your artist profiles. And we don’t just mean only on social media; update streaming platforms like Spotify too! Spruce up your pages with new artist pictures, an updated bio, links to your socials, and any other relevant information.

🌟 Create your pre-save campaign. This encourages fans to pre-save your upcoming track(s) so that on release day, it is automatically added to their library. It can also boost those first-day streaming numbers!

🌟 Submit your music for playlist consideration on Spotify. Getting your track added to an editorial playlist can lead to a boost in streams and exposure, so don’t deny yourself this possibility.

Remember: in order to make the playlists, your song must be submitted to Spotify at least four weeks before the release date.

🌟 Prepare promotional material for the song's release. This could be images, videos, or anything else you deem appropriate to promote your song. Having your promotional material locked and loaded can help ease some of the pressure of trying to figure out what and when to post, making the music promo process a lot easier. 😁

Knowing your audience is a major key to success as an independent artist.

Having a good understanding of your target audience:

👤 allows you to create better songs and general content that they are more likely to engage with.

This engagement presents an additional opportunity to gain even more insight into your audience and their likes and dislikes.

👤 allows you to tailor your music promotion efforts so that they are targeted toward people who are most likely to listen to your music.

This makes it possible to budget more effectively as you know what social media platforms to focus on, as well as the type of messaging that will resonate with current and potential listeners.

So, on a scale of 1-10, how well do you know your audience? 🤔 Let us know in the comments.

This one is for the vocalists!

Nothing beats using your instrument to peak ability; in this case, the instrument is your voice!

Here are two beverages that are good for your voice and can help you achieve just that.

Water 💧
Water does not touch your vocal folds, however, it is important for overall hydration. This hydration is what your vocal folds NEED to work properly.
Vocal folds are covered with a mucosal layer that when dried up, can result in irritation and swelling. This further causes cracking, the inability to hit high notes, or even produce sound at all. So stay hydrated!

Decaffeinated herbal tea 🫖
The best teas for your voice and vocal folds are those that do not have any caffeine. Teas such as chamomile, peppermint, and other herbal and green teas with some honey or lemon do a tremendous job of helping to soothe your throat.

So if you’re feeling for a warm beverage, skip the coffee, and try these teas instead! 😉

A key part of being an artist/creator is connecting with your supporters. ✨

Interacting with these very special individuals keeps them interested in your content, helps to build fan loyalty by fostering strong relationships and community, and increases your overall human appeal as an artist.

While virtually connecting with fans enables instant communication with fans all over the world and is relatively cheaper, among other things, connecting with fans in person allows for a special type of interaction that just cannot be beaten.

If you ask us, well, we think that both are equally important 🤷, but what about you?

How do you prefer connecting with your fans/supporters?
