Build Your Audience
Building a direct line of contact with your audience & adding new followers is the key to success for musicians and artists today. Gone are the days of mass CD sales and gone are the day of CD’s : ) Now are the days of unsigned artists and a lot of talent waiting to be introduced to the world.
Building an audience and fan base is a key factor to being a serious player and succeeding in the music industry today.
Think about it…developing a group of people who love your music, who follow, engage with and talk about you on social media, and who are loyal to you is paramount to your success.
TwitCasting is really cool in that it provides a platform for artists/musicians to connect with their audience in real time through video & chat. It provides a relaxed Q & A type of exchange between artist and fan from the comfort of their home - or wherever else they choose to be.
Let’s look at some key ways to help you grow and maximize your chances of developing an engaged audience…. Encourage your audience to Fan + Subscribe to you so they'll be notified when you Go Live in the future. Then get that personal connection flowing! Talk, chat and shout out to your fans….this makes them feel really special and in turn strengthens their connection to you. TwitCasting gives you a variety of ways to connect with your fans. If you're a songwriter, share a little of a song-in-the-making with them & ask for suggestions, this allows them to enter the sacred creative space & feel like they are a part of the process! You can get feedback on new material and go from fav song requests to discussions about life! Show them links to other sites you have, share other social accounts they can follow you on, promote upcoming tour dates, merchandise, new downloads and more. After it’s all done you can save your LIVE (stream) so that people who missed out can view it later. Then use your Community Wall to post upcoming lives and shows, where fans can leave you messages if they listen to your recorded live.
Stay tuned for the step by step guide to building your audience….coming next week!
