    Great advice on defining one's brand and targeting the right audience. I’ve been messing around with boost app social for crafting bio, captions, and even content ideas. It's neat!

    The word that popped into my head when this video finished was "authentic." I think that's the spot where we all miss the boat sometimes, and all of your points underscore the need for authenticity in different aspects. Appreciate this perspective.

Not saying I can't talk, but I don't want to waste your time either. Wine and dine me at your own risk! 😆

    honestly I kinda love the Burstimo vids which is why I subbed. feels like your viewpoint on sharing music makes sense. Main thing I want is to make music every day - for that to be a life-long reality, I need a fanbase - means I need exposure. it's exciting to share my best work with people, but also hard to figure out and a bit intimidating. this vid helped a lot - especially for reassurance ^_^

    Interesting video guys! Your one of the only music marketing youtubers I trust these American guys seem to chat so much waffle when it comes to marketing, nowadays whenever I'm listening to an artist on Spotify I like I tend to check out there Instagram profile to see if there is anything on there I can model, for the most part electronic producers suck at social media marketing! It amazes me how many people don't post regularly or have really boring content ( no one cares about your screen recording of your song played on the radio!!!) I'm at ground zero with 88 followers -mostly friends & family but hey its a start, I did also remove 20 followers that were spam accounts.This has definitely given me some ideas at what to post as currently have removed all my posts to start a fresh.

    Social marketing, to a set list of 'friends' no less, for the majority of the time and THEN whatever's left for your music and practice...kind of a fleeting combo. The house wins first btw (IG, FB, TikTik, etc ad-nauseum).
    Well, maybe start a new game? Artists, if you see everyone is 'zigging'....maybe try 'zagging'? :)
