1:16 absolutely agree. “Connection” is a tenet of modern advertising. Anyone who sees this video and sees this comment, I promise you this video is worth your time. Thanks, Dax
Great storytelling example. I'm an English teacher by day, & I'm reminded often of the connection between writing, teaching, marketing, public speaking--hell, even just being a good conversationalist. It's all stories.
This accurately describes the ick I've gotten about the way bands have marketed themselves basically since Myspace. The platform has changed multiple times, but the strategy is still the same. Vague teasers with 'official' release dates, curated press (bulletin) style posts and comments that just say "cheers bro, thanks for checking us out!"
I can't stop being what comes so naturally, Dax. But I'll try. Lolol. Great vid Dax. I'll watch the whole thing after dinner while I do the dishes. But they're always great!
So i went a different route, i tried to make myself, my profile, and my website as uncool as possible. I have a pechant for self deprecating (defecating) humour. So if people are laughing at it, and i'm laughing at it...... is it a success or failure?
I think having a connection is vital, but so is leaving something to the imagination, since what you can imagine is limitless and it allows for a sense of mystique that's ever so much more fascinating than having everything revealed to you. How do you manage to try to build connection without sacrificing mystique?
This "story" aspect doesn't always work (depends on the audience). I could talk anyone's ear off about all the mods I did to my guitar. Anyone who isn't a guitar geek doesn't care about that. The only people likely to connect with me are those geeks. Can that example translate to the action of people giving me 20 seconds of their time to sample some music? I could likely get more traction having some gear shorts or videos geeking out over gear or telling me story about my experience with a piece of gear. Someone out there who isn't a fan of the music first (that's not how they found me), but found me because of a gear video. I could leverage that into views for my music.
In that example, you’d want to figure out the overarching principle that isn’t tied directly to modifying your guitar, but what you learned about yourself and those emotions could be more relatable than the actual story of modifying your guitar. “Modifying guitar pushed me -> ever felt determined to do something no matter how hard it is -> it reminds me of this song I wrote” that’s just a rough framework but hopefully it helps clarify! 🤘🏻
Dude can we hop on a FT

Yeah. I always laugh at that. Somehow making videos yourself is selling out, but they all luuuv the 2000 music videos made by labels and huge team.
Haha exactly! 👏🏻
Okok
