I recently learned of Jewel’s story and how she made it - very interesting story I suggest you learn it. She began playing at this little shop by the beach to help the woman keep the store alive and pretty soon the place was PACKED- THANK YOU DAMIAN for all your help and suggestions
These are all great! Have been doing some of these over the last couple months. Saw some real engagements! We have been doing 8 -10 minute video series once a week called TOUR TIPS. Where we tell some stories on different subjects related to touring. Sometimes we have guests, our favourite road snacks and a fun little tip for the kids. Been going great! Thanks for everything you do Damo!
"It took me so long to realize why Damian Keyes called his viewers Mon-Keyes... Wow" You are a genius... If you don't know this yet... Then take one good look at your name....
Great ideas! For that weekly playlist idea, it'd be cool to include songs by other bands on a similar level to your own: bands you've played shows or toured with, bands you've met at gigs or networking events, friends' bands, even cool stuff you've heard on another playlist, Shazam'ed or heard on the radio/seen in a magazine. And showing this good nature might mean your music is shared in return to another band's audience! You get content, and maybe some free promotion too. Win win.
Hi Damian... I am working with musicians and bands to increase their fan bases and working on their social media. Your videos are so perfectly relavent and well presented, I have been sharing them with my clients. Sometimes you have to hear the same thing from 2 different people. All I can say is THANK YOU!!! You're videos have really helped. Keep making them... I'm a big fan of yours.
great tips damien! just discovered you a couple of days ago! keep the content flowing mate, thankful for you to divulge so much info around making it in music business that no one discusses with such transparency and ways to expand creatively.
Big up Damian! We're a record label that is focused on Reggae and Soundsystem culture inspired Jungle Drum & Bass music, but we can still flip and adapt some of these great ideas :) Thanks again man! Loving the channel!
Hi Damian, I'm a stand-up comedian and I'm just getting started into really applying myself for social media. This video is fantastic as music and comedy are very similar worlds, so I can incorporate these into practice! Thank you so much for this list as that's always been my toughest challenge is ideas for social media. You have a new subscriber and fan! Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!!!
This is such incredible content and advice Damo! Thank you again! I will definitely implement some of these ideas into my ‘Sunday Sessions’ which I Facebook Live on my page. The engagement is improving now probably because I’ve put my video out and more people know about me but also because of the algorithm change.
@Damian - Great video as usual. Could u make a video on how to have everything ready for a marketing firm as an artist? My artists contact marketing firms and then they dump a bunch of requirements to which the artist never gets back!!
Fantastic ideas Damo! We are going to buckle down and get our socials moving. One idea we're working on is how to videos for our Merch. We make everything in house. Another idea we have is a guitar tutorial for all of our old Celtic folk songs. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks as always for the kick arse ideas! Sláinte!!!
Thanks Damian. My band and I are just getting into you. Very insightful. We are just beginning the process...I'm curious to understand more clearly what you mean by "distribute into different platforms" one video for example. Take a 30 minute bit and then not share the whole thing around, but "chop" it up a bit? Not sure. Thanks for all you do ~
its sad to me too, that people would ruin a good word like monkeys by using it to insult people when they themselves are the losers obviously, but regardless we have to watch our intentional and unintentional communications in our branding. i notice you more recent vids have a different opening, and that one is much better for your brand in every way. :)
I've been trying this strategy at my website jonesandyou.com , but it can get really burdensome :D Still a solid strategy and in my opinion the best there is. It's hard, but it's what we all need to learn! Great vid!
Social media is killing me I have a solo project I record in my basement wich is not that nice 😒 I haven't played live cause I'm still looking for musicians to enjoy the project. I only have 1 release I will be releasing more every month but while I release more music what can I post on social media besides pic of myself?! Thanks 🤟🏼
I don’t see social media helping gigs - this is a specific angle, people that like what you post online are, in my experience, rarely the people that will come and meet you in person. It’s easy to have a disconnect - so know why you are posting and what you want out of it. Comment on my comment please! I’d love to hear your point of view.
the horse comment makes me wonder if you think your viewers are actually monkeys or if you really just miss the condescending and slightly racist overtones your greeting has? ("hey hey monkeys")
Hi Vanessa, What's sad to me is that this is even a thing. I was a big fan of the TV show Red Dwarf growing up and one of the characters catch phrases was Hey Monkeys. What's even sader to me is that I'm obviously trying to help musicians and make a difference and to be told Im condescending when it's clearly just a playful geeky science joke is frustrating. You will be pleased to know that I have changed my intro as I had a few comments and I'm not here to offend anyone, just to help. Anyway thanks for your comment, if i can help with any social media or music that's the reason I'm here. Damo

It took me so long to realize why Damian Keyes called his viewers Mon-Keyes... Wow
😜 excellent deduction 🤛

This is an excellent video! Wow my head is filled with new and exciting ideas! Thank you!!!!!
I love the video, you’re channel is one of the most valuable resources I’ve found even though I’m a solo artist

I use to be in a pop punk band that had our own Facebook show. Worked great
Fantastic Advice. This is the kind of stuff that can really create major progress in a group's trajectory.
