Spamming your work just isn\u2019t the way to go. One thing that you want to achieve in promoting your music is having self-confidence. By being calm and in control, you are going to by default appear professional and have more as yourself. Even if your music is decent, by having a calm tone, you\u2019re going to attract fans, and people are going to pay more attention to your work.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Here are a few tactics to promote your work, without being desperate or too needy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 70-20-10 rule<\/b><\/p>\n

The 70-20-10 rule is a very common strategy and it\u2019s used by brands of all types, not just artists. <\/span>
\n<\/span>It teaches that seventy percent of \u00a0content should be content that build your brand, twenty percent will be related to networking and sharing other content, and ten percent of that should be sales based posts. <\/span><\/p>\n

By sticking with this rough rule, you can make sure \u00a0that you have a good mix of posts. If you’re just pushing on sales all day \u2013 buy my CD, buy tickets, buy my latest track, etc \u2013 you’re going to seem too salesy and scare folks off!<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The power is in how you deliver it.<\/b><\/p>\n

By all means, get fans to check out your next show, ask them to buy your EP, that\u2019s marketing! But it\u2019s how you portray that message. Make sure it\u2019s written well, and planned — rather than pleading or even begging. Make a formal announcement regarding your latest track, as opposed to \u00a0spamming them with a link.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Here’s a quick strategy: Tell fans about a new track in a basic way possible. Afterwards, release a clip of you listening to your track and say how you’re thrilled to finally push it \u2013 and finally, add a URL in there. Next, try creating a “Now Available” image or record a simple video clip that thanks your fans and followers for their support. Finally, then start share people’s feedback on the track.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boost your posts<\/b>
\n
\n<\/span>Save up a few bucks and boost a post. This can serve as a powerful (and not needy looking) route than tweeting the same tweet time and time again, hoping people will interact with it. With a promoted post, it will appear not only in your fans timelines, \u00a0but you\u2019re also able to tweak to ensure it appears in the timelines of other folks who aren\u2019t affiliated to your pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are just a few quick ways to make sure you\u2019re marketing, rather than spamming your work. We cover music marketing in much more detail on our SMP<\/a> and EMP music production diplomas<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
