    Thank you for doing what you do! You're awesome.
    You think we'd have it easy. We played twice a week with a venue that has a built-in audience. But it is still difficult for us to build true fans just by playing music. During our breaks we have to go out into the audience and try to build connections with people. Really music isn't just about music. Your videos of helped us build a fan base for a tricky genre of Music.
    Thank you Damian!!

    What an amazing story. Really important to remember that in our fan communities, its important that our fans need us as much as we need them. Make them feel special and cared about, and they will make us feel special. Damo, another great video as always. Thanks man! This story definitely is one of taking this idea to the max. Have any ideas for ways that we could make our fans feel just as special in smaller ways? Want it to feel authentic still.

    Awesome. We will be thinking about how to do this with fans. We've done a bit of it with bands that are in the area by featuring them on videos and even interviewing some of them. Many of our fans are in other bands, and that turns into more gigs. Thanks for the tips Damo!

    Thanks.
    One thing I do is searching Spotify for user playlists that our songs would fit on. Sometimes have to google the users to find contact info. So I found this woman with a playlist with a few hundred followers (she didn’t even know she had followers) and long story short: her little kids became fans. So we recorded a video of an unreleased song, dedicated it to those two little kids. They couldn’t believe their ears that the band in the video was mentioning them by name. Turned them into super-fans maybe but of course also their parents :-)

    100% Spot on. Treat people well and they'll support you through thick and thin. I'm lucky I learnt early on that engaging with fans at a level where they feel special (They are special) is key. I've even made real friends with some of these people along the way, an added bonus.
    Yeh the numbers aren't huge. But they're big enough however, I crowdfunded two albums, created a video made up entirely of fan clips sent to me, had a guy up on stage with me who had been engaging with me from the off, a guy travelled 200 miles to my album launch!! That matters!
    I can name so many of the those fans who supported me individually. I will make sure to see them at a gig and chat. I actually enjoy that and value it hugely. This is after all the age of social media. Be social, talk to people you never know where it can lead. I did all this with very little budget, use your imagination and engage, oh and have the songs too obviously ;)
    Nice one again Damo. x

    It's so funny that you mentioned the Arkells! I went to the same uni as them a couple of years after they graduated. They REALLY know how to market themselves as hometown, local Canadian boys. Everyone at our school eats them up. I've seen them walking around the area too and they always stop for a pic and to say hello. They also always seem to remember me even though I've only met them a few times - making me feel really appreciated. They've really exploded here in Canada over the past couple of years just because they're the nicest guys.

    Got the player for my band. Went to play overseas together, performed at the radio. Not a single mention of a band, but lots of posts of him alone at the gig, at the radio station, giving away his band's merch for free after gigs while we were trying to sell ours. Legacy? Don't know. All I know is as good as the guy is at his instrument - he is out of my business.
    At first I was so angry, but now it's just funny to remember.

    First of all I wanna say thank you for your Video. But I always have one big question - all these Videos are for Musicians and Bands performing live, producing and releasing their new stuff and trying to build their "superfanbase". How is it for Artists like me, composing and producing Filmmusic. Honestly I released my first Video with my music 2 weeks ago - people shared it, liked it and I build a small base to go on. 1100 Views in 2 Weeks are incredible for me and gives me a feeling that my music is appreciated! But what's next? I can't perform with a huge Orchestra at Vienna Concerthouse ;) So do you have any tips for Filmmusicproducers? Thanks a lot

    One very powerful thing you can do is to build your own 'Media Platform' and distribute your content/podcast/music/meta content across the web on social media sites, but having that original source is a critical part of this. Damian offers some great insights and approaches, but as a web geek I offer you this very foundational concept.

    I'm actually trying to create a stir by just putting up posters saying 'coming soon' and I have a fairly unique logo (not my pic here) that I use which always grabs people's attention anyways, so this way it creates a bit of a stir and a curiosity. I love the idea too of bringing somebody else new and upcoming someone who's worked real hard, maybe someone is not being heard enough, getting them to open or getting them to come and play a couple of their tunes. I'm always a fan of audience and fan-based participation. After all, we are all fans of someone, so ask yourself how you would like to be treated by your favs😉💜

    Great advice Damian! From putting myself out there *once* via an Instagram DM, others have noticed my playing, so when they say, "Hey, Rob. I'd like to try having cello/violin/uke on a couple of my tunes, what do ya think?", I say yes. My gig offers, recording jobs, and teaching have all grown because of these little interactions, and we get to share fanbases everytime I show up at a colleague's gig to play a song or two.

    Damian, love your videos. They have given a ton of insight about turning your audience into fans. After watching this video, I’m a little stumped and maybe you can help me. What kinds of things can you do for a band at smaller level? The band you mentioned in the video has social presence already and someone asked to play with them, so they let him. That makes complete sense. The part I can’t figure out is what kinds of things can you do for a band that plays to rooms of 50-100 (as opposed to thousands) and has a much smaller audience and social presence (compared to the group you mentioned). I’m not sure if my question makes sense, but I would love your input. Thanks, Brandon.

    Very insightful. I'd just like to add though, that genuine interest in the fanbase also goes a long way. These tips are great, but you shouldn't get too wrapped up in the strategy of it all and forget to genuinely appreaciate and respect your fans' passion, without judgment, cause those fans will be able to sens it if you're manipulating them into feeling a bond with you that is ultimately fake and born only out of your self interest.
    Speaking from the perspective of someone who's part of arguably the most engaged music fanbase on the planet right now, genuine mutual respect is key. There's a vast difference between making them feel special because you actually care about how THEY feel VS. making them feel special because you know it'll help you gain their interest.
