Let’s say that you are a kind, decently talented band or artist with purchasable items, who is seeking out new fans (and super fans) to purchase them, using twitter as a way to meet new people. These are the top ten ways to NOT make sales via twitter (or end up with a long lasting relationship from a dating site).
LinkedIn has really come into its own in the last few months. While it’s no longer simply a place to post office resumes, you would likely only be connecting with other industry people here – artists, managers, agents, journalists, labels… – as opposed to fans. Your message should be tailored accordingly.
Instagram has taken over social media with the younger Millennials and Generation Z. They launched IGTV in 2018 (and flopped) and reverted back to a chronological newsfeed (and crushed it).

A few years ago I embarked on fan-building campaign that was over the top, even for me. I reached out to everyone on my email list and ask them for their birthday. However, the time has come where this project is no longer scalable and it’s time to bid an end to the era. This article talks about the all the joys and the benefits that I got to experience doing this, and may we all be nostalgic about someday.

Humans are quite talented at associating forms of art with memories, especially music. Whether it be an engaged couple carefully deciding “their” wedding songs, a group of senior citizens tapping their toes to Elvis in their retirement home, or a pop hit being dubbed “the song of the summer,” music plays such an important role in our lives and in our memories.
Unlike with demographics, Facebook doesn’t have a button that lets only happy people see your ad. It takes a combination of knowing your target fanbase and intuition to combine different targeting options into your psychographic ad formula.

One question I‘ve been asked by musicians is “but, how can I ask them to buy my [awesome purchasable thing here] without seeming annoying or spammy, especially online?” I want to expand on that, focusing on Twitter as the platform. Introducing my latest analogy: Twitter is a dating site, musicians are those desperate guys.
Née Olivia Pierce, the bubblegum goth pop singer grew up in the LA Valley, she’s the first to admit that “the whole Kardashian scene of the LA valley heavily influenced [my new album Influencers], both sonically and lyrically. A lot of the songs are very bubblegum pop, and I wanted my listeners to be able to pretend they were riding down the 101 in a pink convertible with the top down.”

Hey, my name is Melissa Lamm. I’m a singer, songwriter and recording artist based in Toronto, Canada. In addition to all that, I am also what people call a “streamer” on Twitch.
Since March 2018, I had been hosting a weekly show via Facebook Live. It was terrifying at first, but now is an exhilarating highlight of my regular schedule, and I would like to credit it with helping me improve my public speaking and stage fright. This article lists different tweaks I have picked up along the way, which can help you give live broadcasting a try, as well as provide some behind-the-scenes stories.

Coronavirus, what can we say? COVID-19 has been a destructive force to families, communities, economies, small businesses, employees, and freelance/gig workers.
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet someone from Music Canada, who gave me my very own hard copy of their latest report titled “The Value Gap: Its Origins, Impacts and a Made-in-Canada Approach.” Their research light a fire that inspired me to start looking up occasions they were referencing, and before I knew it, they had inspired the foundation of this article. So, without further ado, let me present to you three laws making Canadian musicians lose money.
With live streaming being such an essential way to reach your audience right now, I thought I would give an updated list of tips for musicians to live stream during quarantine.
