#204 - 5 Growth Tips For Independent Artists
Network
Networking is so important, building your contacts in the industry can lead to many opportunities as a musician. This can be done online by simply liking posts, commenting, messaging and following artists and those in the industry. This is also beneficial in person, getting your personality across to people really sells!
Take branding seriously
Find a way to give an idea of what you sound like before they have even listened to your music. What colour and fonts suit your type of music and image? Make yourself memorable and try to draw people in.
Make it easy for people to find you
People are lazy and unless you lay everything out in from of them they may not look very hard when searching for your music. Use the same @ across all social platforms and use a linktree in your bio.
Collaborate
Collaborating is the easiest most organic way to share fan bases. Working with other artists is a great way not only to grow your audience, but also to allow for some personal growth by challenging your way of working.
Host a competition
If you host a competition on social media, get fans to tag their friends, that way you will have wider reach with minimum effort required!
