Dope dialogue between you two. Inspiring in a refreshing true to the taste type of way.
Thank you so much!
I only have 16 listeners , with patient come success . Enjoy the journey ❤️
U got this bro
The road less traveled is always the most rewarding. A lot of artist don't have patience. To bad for them.
I love how yall pointed out that when you're aware of adopting certain behavioral patterns from the 5 people around you the most, you can use it as a measuring stick. That's so true!
Creating a separate account and using a pseudonym was the best thing I ever did for being creative. Good point, even better when people you know start to discover it and share. Free Advertising!
So glad you made this video! You guys covered so many great points but the key take away for me is that I can be more confident in my journey as a musician!
Be real, be patient and work hard!
You know it!
literally watching your vids on loop every night, looking forward to more conversations about the artist journey!!
I found your channel yesterday, and my god, its an gold mine, thank you ao much, grettings from Mexico🇲🇽💪
Hey I've been following this advice and getting real results. I'm not where I know I'll be but the authentic growth opportunities and my most recent television placement with Team Canada and TSN Sportsnet has been incredible I've definitely watched loads of your videos and researched channels similar to yours on UA-cam. It's a gold mine. Thank you.
Just found this gem... I greatly appreciate the insight. Priceless value indeed.
I made a separate music account from my personal account. Let me tell you it was so freeing. I can be shameless on my music channel and the people that follow me are the ones that actually care about my music. Unlike my personal account when people have already formed their opinions of who I am and don’t see me as an artist. Thanks guys I’ve been binge watching your videos.
I think the general 'hole in the market' is doing things that are hard. If they're hard, less people are probably going to be doing them. I'm referring specifically to doing things authentically, and perhaps doing/creating things for the right reasons, consistently. If you can do that, and I guess if you're interesting (which believe it or not most people are), then I don't see you having many problems. Keep in mind, there are people behind the screens, as hard as it is to realize that, they are more than just a number. And they'll appreciate the genuine work you put in if you do. Good luck to whoever's reading this:)
So true. Authentic impact over bogus likes any day.
I am a fan how you two bounce off of each other in these episodes, and also how you take little drink sips in between. Just feels like we are hanging out.
I had to like it simply based on the title because this is what I wanna see
Sooo...as a baker and a musician i can confirm that you cannot talk with another baker about music creation ...keep up the great job guys, enjoyed a lot of your videos!
This was exactly what i needed to hear to day guys, Thanks again! :) Gary Vee was working in a liquor store at the age of 30.
I really dig your videos. No bullshit "how to get 20 billion Instagram followers" but honest advice and getting us to understand that you need to have patience if you wanna grow as an artist. Because after all we need to interact with real people and convince them of what we're doing and that ist's worth giving us their attention. They are not just a number we need to get up.
Some dude (or dudette) once said: "Fake it till you make it..."
To be honest we tend to upload only or mostly professional pictures and videos to our feed on Instagram and save the personal stuff for our stories. Is that clever?
Great video once again. I'm in love with your content.
Yes that's the best way to do it!
Super! Thanks!
This is a great handful of topics to address, I’m absorbing a lot of this like a sponge 🧽
Great video!! And funny too! " you look like a twit " @ 6:10 🤣🤣
I'm going to watch this everyday for the next 6 months. I'll come back and tally every time. Thank you Maddy and Alex, your videos, along with your pal Damian Keyes have been transforming my whole mindset as an artist. I'm actually doing the same thing with one of his video!
Day 2: I feel myself becoming more and more sure of myself every day. I can see the path to success which is quite refreshing.
Day 3: Unexpected vocal troubles today, but reminding myself that giving my body a break when I need it is key.
Day 4: I've been crushing my instagram story game (@jaeden_xxi). I've even posted a few funny ones of me using a text to speech generator since i'm on vocal rest and people are really enjoying it
Day 5: A busy day with not a lot of work on music, but i started a quick song idea which seems like it could be really good.
It’s so true the problem of some artists is ego, once have a hit song , whether some manager’s advice damage their reputation being humble gets your far.
Thank you so much for this conversation. You made me realize that my 70 Instagram followers are much more valuable than I thought. Keep going guys
that end bit about surrounding yourself with like minded people ☺️ yes yes
I think being yourself and exposing the more mundane parts of your life is a good thing because its relatable and builds long term relationships.
Great video, always love your content.
Planning to put out a new single soon and I'm going to try and put some of your tips into practice.
Thanks!
Great discussion. Very enlightening. Thank you both.
I'm only halfway through, but this video is the best one I've seen yet. Great intersection of meta layers/technical information.
Fantastic video
I am really grateful for you guys. I've been going through a lot of your videos and find them really helpful. Learning a lot. Please keep up the good work
you guys are truly the best. i'm learning so much from you
The bullshit detector is strong with you guys! Love it.
U guys r telling me what I needa hear not what I wanna hear, and it’s the best part ❤️
It come down to this , most ppl in this world are addicted to low vibe rational feelings for example the type of artist that u are talking about who go crying for validation or to get a shot in the music business , they complain a lot because for 1 that is what ppl learn from other ppl which is complaining about something that does not go their way they just feel mad or sad for months and yrs that is a mental addiction and the artist that ya talking about dont know that , i went through the same thing as an artist so once I started to take away the fluff or the negative programs out my system my artist life became easy and another thing that i would like for artist to think about , what u want is what u want , its not a life or death situation
I find that the more I post and gain followers the more of a relationship I'm building with them because I see the same people coming back and slowly over time my numbers keep going up, but you definitely need to find your audience (mine is hard rock/metal fans) and target them and interact with them. I will say this though Facebook pages suck! They have zero organic reach. My new FB music group has way more interaction and organic reach than my FB page ever did. Plus you need to keep adding content and engage with EVERYONE because the social media machine will reward you, the more you feed it, the more it likes you...mmmm feed it...feed it.
Great video! You guys seem like really nice people!
Great video. You two are super chill! I just subscribed. Cheers.
A recent metastudy of studies of children's use of social media found that the negative effects were very little, or nil.
Loved this one guys. Your state attracts the same state. Hold the ideal state. Be pulled more often than you push.
Thank you Guys soo much! Changed my Life ❤️
Really great discussion, so much worthwhile advice here. Thanks.
This video made me thirsty... for more videos from this channel and literally, OMG I wanna grab some ice cold beer right now hahahah love you guys! Really helpful video. I'm actually having a Burstimo marathon today.
Love you guys x
Gems once again
I love your channel, we share a lot of the same perspectives.
Thanks for the video. It's great to see that you don't have to feel pressured or scared of not seeing results on the work you're doing on social media as a beginner. I guess, from this, I can just know that to gain results you have to be consistent and really engage and collaborate with people at the same level as yourself. It would help my youtube and instagram significantly.
Really needed that today. Thanks. And you two are definitely very harmonic together. How you talk and the athmossphere you create together is really in the zone. I'm not wondering why you succeed together :)
It's all about starting with nothing starting with 0. And people afraid of it. They want the pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow but they forget about their journey of achieving it.
It's really a good video but I was expecting to see how a musician can stay in a productive (creative ) mindset but it's helpful as well.
I'm going to save this video because it will definitely help me remember that I made at least certain decisions as an artist correctly 😅
You guys are brilliant! Best music marketing channel on UA-cam!! 💖💖
I'm like 5 videos deep I love you both! No one out there is keeping it so real.
Big love ♥️
This was great !
Hey Maddy and Alex, love listening to your podcasts while being in the office, planning how to spread the outcomes of my hobby!
Concerning the similar mindset of you two.. As a German I now that can't be true. One is driving a SLK, The other one a Z4. ;)
Just kidding, keep up the wonderful content. Love to see your subscription counter rise over this year. You deserve it! Maybe I can get a customer of Burstimo in the near future. Will hit you up when I'm ready to release new music. Best regards!
Thank you!
Cheers!! I see yall having beers. Thanks for the info Burtismo TEAM!!!
you guys are honestly so insightful i would hire you guys if i was a music artist lol
Hey thanks for the video im going to share
Y'all making me wanna drink beer :)
Thanks both. Lots of interesting points, but the biggest thing I'm taking away is that my numbers are all individuals :)
Really good video ! Thank you. Little suggestion : could you put in description the timecode of the different topics ? :)
Sure thing!
I have been binging your content lately. Great tips! Thanks for sharing!!
This video was great Alex and Maddy! Just what I needed today thank you! Especially about surrounding myself with like-minded people :)
Great video, Every Artist should listen carefully to this video, only in my opinion, this is totally the best advice i've heard in years, and it will now be how i move forward, thanks.
Such an awesome fucking channel! Maddy is so adorable! You guys are like parents giving career advice to their kids. Except you actually know what the hell you're doing :P.
Way too good info thank you
Hey guys. Love your videos. I just released an EP. But wish I had watched some of your vids before.
Thanks! Still have time to promote it don't worry
The best moments are when you get a pm about how it made them feel a certain way, or that they were in a specific place. My current track apparently feels like they "were in a cave, but not in immediate danger"... I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a criticism, but I would love to have (more) fans like that! :P
Getting DMs shows you've actually got listeners, nice one!
This video was so so so good, I’m gonna create a new Instagram for fun! :)
Great Page. I'm getting ready to release my first project to the world and your conversations and videos are really helpful and inspiring. Keep up the good work!!!
Will be watching the full video but I have to ask my question first.
I am an artist and like you gave tips on how to increase engagement and engage more with your audience. Well been doing it and it's amazing how things move when you get talking with your audience. But the case is me trying to be more free and open hey are talking me un serious, like I don't know how to put it.
Like a girl putting you in the friend zone whiles you want more than that.
That's where am at right now
1st things 1st , dont mix up your artistic lifestyle with people , take that and live your life , music and relationships are a totally different things
Thank you. I appreciate the words
@@dtgsngz2722 focus on what you do and relate it with anybody , i do music , ma songs are trash , but im still trying to grind everyday . thats what you should focus on , people come and go , thats life
This is one of the best channels I’ve come across in a long time, would love to be on and ask you two some questions, for example what do you think about rebranding? Should I b okay with losing some of my existing fans because I’ve changed my personal taste in what I like to create.
Extremely true video!
Love your youtube channel. Suggestion: can you put audio from EVERY single video into Spotify podcast please. To me podcast isn't just two people talking but could be the usable audio from any video you've made. Thanks.
thanks guys, your videos are amazing!
Always insightful
Drinking beer and spittin' truth! Thank you guys. Do have services for songwriters who don't want to be the artist, but want to get songs placed with major label artists? There are fantastic opportunities on the publishing side of the equation.
Hahaha thanks!
Unfortunately not
This resonates. Thank you!
you guys have the same work and strategy philosophy cuz you work together everyday and agree on the same reality points for the music industry
You guys are great.
lets go
Create good music and the fans will find you.
Thanks for another great video! I swear you made this just for me🤓. I just got started on Instagram and my stream count is super low on Spotify. But I have noticed that I’m getting multiple streams from a few people... which means my music is adding value to their life. That’s the goal. Is so easy to get caught up in the numbers, and it does take so damn long to build that it’s easy to take for granted the following we already have, however small it may be. Anyway, love the video, and really appreciate what you guys are doing, you’ve already helped me so much! Maybe we can work together some day🐵
Hi,guys! Hope you are doing great!
I encountered a problem that a labels,not even large, very much look at the number of subscribers,activity social networking and views. The world of music is a business (in my opinion).
What is the problem to take official advertising from instagram. For example
It will attract real people,It's mostly will either India either China and Spain. In the end, it will not give you no great progress,but people from business part of music industry will have more impression. They see a lot of subscribers,active account and actual likes. And taken for you.
Active subscribers not change and you still doing the content for them,but your account for business people in music industry looks nicer.
P.S: I'm talking only about advertising on Instagram in this message.
I am agree with your words about the cheat hits on Spotify.
Thank for your attention in advance
Hope you have a great day!
Best regards,
Max
Love your content
I’m sorry but I’ve been a multi-musician for 12years + and opportunity in the UK for young singer songwriters/performers is shocking. It’s useless unless you go to Simon Cowell or invest into Spotify marketing for statistics. Lucky I do this for me but it’s jokes sooner become a rapper and feature on GRM daily lol
uugg I find social media soo hard
I'v never used it before outside of youtube and some messaging websites like hangouts and trying to make posts for a websie I just dont care about is soo hard DX
I just feel a bit daft asking questions or talking to a camera (it doesn't feel like it's to an audience) & just feel it's not me. Any tips?
Hey guys, thank you for all of this! Does the "Close Friends" feature on instagram change your views on having a separate account?
Plenty of my music on my channel if any of these channels that likes undiscovered peeps wanna tap in haha salutes from newcastle uk good vid some valid points was a good ear worm
If a manager, agent, or label is maintaining an account for an artist, is it ever a good idea to "impersonate" the musician and act as if the artist themself is posting the content (with the artist's permission, of course), or would you recommend clearly posting as being only on behalf of the artist when the artist themself is not literally doing the posts? (It seems like it would be hard to be genuine, and risky if fans assumed one thing and then found out it wasn't the case.)
For that matter, how important is it for an artist to maintain their own promotional account? I would imagine that's always better (more personal, which is what followers want, and they directly get the feedback from their fans), if they're going to spend the time doing so, but what if they don't have the time or inclination to do so? It's still better for someone else on the team to run a separate promotional account for them, right? (I am particularly thinking of an artist from a non-English language speaking country who mostly posts in their native language for family and friends, mostly not even about their music.)
What is your take on Omari MC a company that promotes itself as a music promotion company with real organic views?
Loving the info from you guys always. I don't know if there is really an answer except time and patience, but I've encountered a lot of industry people (Bookers, Press, Playlists, etc) unwilling to give chances to people who don't have enough followers or whose numbers are building but aren't high enough. What leverage do we have to get the gigs we want if the industry itself is more fixated on numbers than on actual talent?
Thanks!
Yes followers are key as it shows engagement (if real) but you can persuade people you've got the potential by having high engagement with your small following.
Look at our Instagram @burstimo. We have very little followers but our engagement is more than many 100k follower accounts because we focus on building relationships with our audience, rather than just growing that figure.
@@Burstimo that makes a lot of sense. I honestly hope more people gauge value in that way more often! Thanks so much for the tips
I somewhat disagree about what you say about a verified account. If I see that an artist is verified I take them a lot more seriously and am more inclined to follow. Literally one of my favorite bands of all time has 23,000 followers but it bugs me they don't have that checkmark.
hi guys, im going to start my music career soon, i'm worried about that my coworkers find out and start to gossiping and my manager wont take me seriously in my work and my job and i won't have any future in my job if my manager begins to think that i'm not interested in my work, because i want to support my music with my job i need to keep my coworkers away from my music life, who do i do that? and is this a good thing to do? i like to hear your opinion on this matter in depth
Ah yes, this should NEVER be an issue! You should create music and content for you and your fans only.
To avoid these worries, make seperate accounts and have a seperate artist name
@@Burstimo i like to see you guys make a video about it, because if you put your self constantly out there and posting every day your manager eventually will find out, and she/he may replace you in the end of your contract
@@ahmadahmadi190 they would/should never fire someone for creating content! Don't worry about it, just start performing if you want the results
@@Burstimo Thank You So Much Guys
i knwo this sounds like bs but sometimes whgen uou have like 8k followers a fan will buy you fake followers to think its helping . it hapopened to me i had organic only followers when i hit 11k someone bought me like 8k and i been deleting them since but its a misssssssion and i wonder if i should remove them
Remove them! It'll destroy your algorithm as the follower to engagement ratio will be soooooo low
Burstimo man that’s what happened guys I was doing so well and out of nowhere now I have 17 k followers and I get like 100 ppl to see my stories . I’m still grateful to those ppl but it’s very low for 17 k right
To the rest of the world, I think being British immediately narrows you down to a vary small subset of people, whom the rest of us have a hard time telling apart! (Just kidding... sort of!)
I have never understood people who buy fake views/followers/likes. It's just so pathetic and stupid. There's absolutely no logic behind it. If you're good people will like it and with enough persistency you'll have success. The funny thing is I actually know people who bought fake followers on insta, and they weren't even doing it to achieve fame as an artist. It was just for their private account. It was purely for their own ego. Ridiculous.
Call me cynica, but how do you know so much ? Do you buy fake contacts ? Is the motivation to drive away competition rather than inform here ?
Wait for it... 1:50 😶
Genuinely great advice tho
@@michaelstockwell Thanks!
Bruh
Those artists got an ego complex period
LENGTHY COMMENT INCOMING.
Hahaha, I actually disagree with your conclusion about faking social proofing :P. One reason being that most Artists just look up "buy x followers" and do not put the time to research good sellers. Most of them will give you "worldwide" profiles which will turn out to be mostly Asian and African. Thats why you don't see them being effective. On top of that. When and how you use those followers etc..makes the biggest difference in the world. If you buy likes as a starting artist with little to show (Not enough content on social media relative to the amount), don't expect them to have any effect on the algorithm BUT, say you release your album and promoting it, that is one example of a strategic time to buy engagement/followers or whatever. DURING your release and gradually, not just buying thousands of followers all at once and expect it to magically give you more exposure.
This also relates to a very bad thing artists tend do to themselves because they are usually broke and that is they have the money to buy followers or likes but not likes, shares and comments at the same time. Bad for people as well as the algorithm. They will either forget to buy the rest to complete the page's successful appearance or remain broke/prioritise something else and end up with a page that has thousands of likes and no engagement. These cost a lot the more legit looking you want them to be. Doing this right genuinely takes time and money and is worth investing in, its not the "quick shortcut" people make it out to be.
So if you have money to spend and you're willing to invest into making your profile look legit you can put some time to research GOOD sellers that will:
1: Give you geo-targeted profiles with history and photos
2: Will have a retention policy where if a certain number of profiles go down they will make up for those free of charge for a certain amount of time. Many sellers provide this actually but ones who do not (Generally super cheap sellers) raise a massive red flag.
3: Among those fake profiles will also give you real profiles by sellers that own a click farm and pay real people to like/follow/comment/share whatever it is you paid for.
4. Delivers them at a reasonable rate. No high-quality seller delivers an order in 24 hours or less. A good and honest seller knows they need to be distributed slowly and through a few days.
Not to sound racist but most sellers are just Indians wanting to make a buck not ones trying to genuinely provide high-quality service. So do factor that in.
So if you have the time, budget and put the effort into researching good sellers along with executing a good strategy, you will be able to fool the algorithm. Obviously though like any other good quality service, the ones who deliver what I mentioned won't be cheap. You get what you pay for right?
With that being said. UA-cam and Spotify are the only major platforms to effectively fight against bots with it focusing on watch time. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Instagram are still vulnerable. Great video! Thanks for uploading :)
