Because There Might Be Something For You That’s Much Better.
In this article, we dive into the newfound strategies or different alternative routes Burstimo recommends for encouraging more user interaction with your music.
Let’s check out these alternatives and super productive methods of fast- tracking your releases to great heights of the Spotify sphere.
1) INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THE WORLD OF VLOGS AND INTERESTING TWITCH STREAMS
The idea here is to keep your fans and community in touch with all that you are doing, music-wise and also personally.
To start your first vlog, all you’ll need is an iPhone and some interesting aspect or part of your week to capture (preferably) and your song in the background.
To start your first twitch stream, we recommend engaging in some hobby that you are already interested in, while speaking about your music, which venues you’ve played out at, or any merch you feel able to promote.
This helps her not disappear into the muck of every other emerging hyper pop artist.
This is an important suggestion because of not only the interaction between you and you community, fans, newly-grown audience, etc. but also because whenever a person chooses to watch one video of yours, you're next uploaded or previously uploaded videos with now come up in their Youtube Recommended because of their previous user engagement.
2) LYRICS VIDEOS
Burstimo highly recommends a hybrid of both a music video and animated lyrics on the screen, to keep your audience more interactively engaged and entertained.
These videos also draw a user that is less likely to skip through your lyric video when promoted as an Ad via Facebook or Instagram.
3) LIVE PERFORMANCES
Forget a static album cover for your YouTube uploaded release. Music sounds/feels way better live.
This way you’ll not only show your fans your on-stage persona but also the excitement of the crowd IRL as well.
You know what they say, FOMO. And the fear of missing out is a great motivator when it comes to ticket-selling and fan outreach. Everybody wants to feel included.
Live performances like, Danni and Tommy from Deli Girls are lively and these videos are very simple to make. Grab a friend and ask them to use their iPhone to capture your on-stage musical magic.
Don’t forget to sync your music separately, with your video during the post-editing process!
4) ANOTHER GREAT METHOD IS COMBINING A PRE-EXISTING POPULAR VIDEO WITH YOUR MUSIC
Haha, don’t forget to make sure it’s a popular subject people (including your fans) would want to watch.
This method is great for having new people introduced to your music. And, if the video goes viral, the shareability of your edit could get you noticed on a much greater scale than previously expected.
(My personal favorite are cute Twilight edits).
While cult-classic film/TV show/Anime edits are always trending, You can also try attaching your music to the background of already popular viral meme videos and spread your releases that way as well!
This is a great method because people listening inadvertently will create traction and provide the best device for your music to be discovered.
5) ALLOW OPEN AND USEABLE TRACKS OF YOURS TO ROAM AROUND THE INTERNET (FREE OF CHARGE)
This gives influencers (i.e. @Snitchery) the ability to latch on to your music and the option to use it to set the tone for their creative content as well.
Not only does this method create traction; it creates the difference between artist visibility and invisibility as well.
TikTok is a great platform for this.
Actively traded and shared content between future fans and audience members provides a great foundation for building musical confidence and user/listener awareness.
