All artists or labels need a promotion strategy. But how do you make one? Everyone says content is key, but how do you deliver it effectively? How do you overcome this frustration? Should promotion be just a few posts, hoping viewers listen to your music, or should these promotional efforts continue over time?
I totally understand your position. However, you need to understand this three-step framework strategy to push forward successfully with your promotion strategy.
Marketplace
First, decide which marketplace you want to enter: Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. Once you decide the market, you need to determine the frequency of how often you are seen and the quality of content you provide to get consumers to take action from your promotional efforts.
Promotional Tool Content for the Marketplace
Decide on the type of promotional material for your chosen market: songs, videos, or text content. You must determine the quality, context, and value you need to deliver to get consumers to take action. This step is crucial for building a connection with your audience and encouraging them to engage with your content.
Traffic Direction
What action do you want your audience to take? Do you want them to listen, watch, or buy? Ultimately, your content should be designed to get your audience to listen to your narrative, sell yourself, your music, and your merchandise to your captured lead, otherwise known as your fan.
