Also I feel it's the journey, the process, not the destination. It's the value. Imagine being discovered and not being prepared for a sustainable career. One never stops learning.
I'm not looking at getting onto a label by any means, but these tips are still helpful to keep on reminding myself of what I need to do to keep pushing forward
So you are giving your power to him now? guy in his one bedroom rental appt.unemployed? really bro? nothing wrong about the 1 bedr rental part but he sure try to look bigger than he is which its still very small.
If I’m being honest these 5 minute videos aren’t doing it for me. The information feels a bit rushed. Still great content. Just pushed through a lot faster.
I feel you on this, I have so many frustrations trying to get videos to be seen by the algorithm and when I do long ones it seems like it puts people off. I’ve tried short ones as a lot of people’s attention span is now that of boiled sprout. I’ll keep trying and thanks for the feedback it’s appreciated 😊😊
@@DamianKeyes You could start up a second channel called ‘Damian Keyes in-depth’. A lot of UA-camrs have two channels. One for short and sweet. One for more content and knowledge. eg, Smi77y is a famous UA-camr who started a second shorts and clips channel and it blew up past his original channel. That way you wouldn’t feel so pushed to be stuck with short and sweet or longer and informative. Plus then your name pops up twice in people’s feeds AND you could use it as an example on how to market to an established fan base on an extra project (think an artist selling NFTs or merch). I hope you have a brilliant day and thanks for making amazing content 💛✌🏼
@@naturalpresence8537 hey dude that’s what I have dkmba for. It’s so I can fully geek out over strategies and go in depth. It’s not for everyone but it means I’m not making hours and hours worth of content for UA-cam and only a few watch it 😊
@@DamianKeyes fully get that! It must be tough sometimes and we appreciate the work you do 💛 I’ve just started up and man it gets tricky trying to find the grooves to get in routine and not get stuck in the spam vs content loop 😊
I've noticed that the problem I'm facing (especially with tiktoks and reels) is that I get pushed to people in my region (Algeria mostly) but my content is focused on American pop music which the people watching it aren't interested in but it's being shown to them anyways cause they're in the same region as me, and I feel like that's really holding me back. Any advice or way to work around that knowing that I'm really not comfortable with converting to my region's culture?
After watching your videos, I've made a TikTok! I've got 1.5k views over the first three videos, so for someone with 150 odd subs on UA-cam that's quite a lot. TikTok specific content is something I struggle with though, I look through the rest of the feed and for the first time I feel old and I just don't get it. Any tips on that?
There might be good organic reach on Tiktok still, but it's pretty pathetic on IG and Facebook, UA-cam seems quite random as to what gets picked up by the algorithm and what doesn't. Trouble is, most of the heavy Tiktok users seem to be teenagers sharing dance challenges or silly content, it's not really a platform for serious music or if your audience is over the age of 18, or if your music isn't teen-friendly popular music. Your videos and advice are great and I always watch them, could you please do a video about how to get labels (not necessarily major - 99% of us have little chance being even listened to by a major) by ways others than Tiktok? Thanks
Tiktok’s main users aren’t actually teenagers anymore which is really interesting!! Yes teenagers make up a lot, but it isn’t the majority. It’s not about dance challenges anymore either - if you take a look and look at people relating to their music, you’ll be surprised 😊 I’m just telling you what major labels are looking for right now, there’s always other ways but right now this is the most popular way
Hey! Just tested DK-mba.com and it works on both my laptop and phone, so not sure why yours isn’t there so maybe give it another go :) And I’m not sure if you’re going to the right site for the 1-1, as it’s just booking a 1-1 consultation with me with some payment links, it’s not anything spammy looking I don’t think! But could be wrong :)
Mmm if thousands of artists are releasing songs by the day, that's a lot of potential record deals being signed. Need to chop a rainforest down to get all that paperwork
I don't know, I just got on with Shrapnel Records and now I will get my E.P. Instrumental Metal/Thrash with clean parts available in all records stores in North America,Asia,Europe. I think if you are"good" and go deep composing"worthly"stuff then go for it. I sure did appreciate the 200 000$ advance to bring a full studio album of 9 songs but with a vocalist this time, no instrumental in 14 months. I think youtube gurus willalways be on,,youtube. But kids real life and real knowladgable folks are not youtube. Egomaniacs are. This guy will teach you only to be,,,on youtube. I am not even here.
Are you planning on getting signed in the next 6 months?
Leave your music so we can all check it out :)

100%. There’s no point at all if you’re not prepared - we all want to run before we can walk, but it doesn’t help!
Just bought the program and I’m releasing my first song in a month!
Awesome!! Let’s do this!!
How did it go?

So you are giving your power to him now?

You could try a VPN and connect to a United States IP address!
Excellent Thanks
I am a classical trained cellist, would like to try the eclectic cello path for covers, any suggestions or advices?
Need you on some music
great vid man... whats your thoughts on vevo?? is it worth sussing out a vevo account in 2021? or have you touched on it already in a vid

Just give it a little more time. Tik tok is expanding to older audiences for sure.
Good idea
Hey Damo! When I click the link in the description for "Work with me 1-1" it takes me a to a sketchy spammy looking cryptocurrency site...
And the "join my Music Business Academy DK-MBA With a 7 Day Free Trial" link doesnt really open up anything just a blank tab
Not trying to be mean lol honestly trying to find the info on those :)

How come you haven't gotten signed?
I did, there’s a video on my channel about how I got signed and dropped at 18 so check that out :)
@@DamianKeyes Can you get my band signed?
It seems like these formats are completely dependent on being young and super hot. All these examples are of people who are extremely photogenic.
I‘ve been kicked out from Facebook and Instagram. That‘s fucked up!!
this word sucks
