HOW TO GET YOUR MUSIC NOTICED: TWITTER & INSTAGRAM

Twitter and Instagram can be a crucial part of your fan base growth strategy. With the right use of these two commonly used social media outlets, you can reach thousands more potential fans than ever before. As with any tool, it's important that you know how to use these outlets so that they can benefit you most. The hashtag system (while sometimes annoying, #washingmyhair #yolo #bruh #iliterallycanteven) can actually help you to reach out to those searching for exactly what you have to offer as a musician. If you stop thinking of them as an annoying way to speak (or express oneself) and start thinking of them more as the tag option in a YouTube video (or on a blog post) it becomes more obvious how helpful the hashtag system has the potential to be for you as someone who is trying to get something noticed on the masses of the internet.

If you're an independent musician, #indiemusic is your new best friend. Use it on every tweet or instagram post that has anything to do with you as the musician, or your music. Another great hashtag to use as an independent artist is #indiemusicblast. Indie music blast is one account that retweets every tweet with that tag in it. However, the hashtag indiemusic can be even more helpful, as there are multiple accounts that will retweet tweets using this tag. And it goes without saying that anyone following an account that retweets those tweets is looking for indie music. These are potential fans, just waiting there on twitter for someone to show them your music. Don't miss out on that simple step!

Another thing that I think is extremely important when using any social media is that your social media art is a good representation of who you are as an artist. I have written about that in depth, and done a video on the topic as well. Here's the video. Here's the blog post.

Best of luck in your music venture! And remember that I'm everywhere and easily accessible to speak with if you have any questions or just want to say hello!
