Hope this is helpful for you guys! Pay close attention to the continuity of purpose on this website - he's making the most out of EVERY visitor! Also, I tried some new lighting and color correction on this video - let me know if it looks better!
I appreciate that you're actually trying to educate us rather than reminding us all of how lame we are for not already knowing all of this. I see the opposite tactic in way too many other UA-cam "tutorials". Much thanks for that. Rock on.
Glad it helps man! Definitely some key design principles on his current website to pick up and implement in your own. GREAT continuity of purpose - he's always trying to get you on his email or customer list. If not, he's making sure you're in a Custom Audience on Facebook. The last piece would be to actually be using those Custom Audiences 😂😂😂
Great video! You rock!! Thx. Couple of questions tho, should the content for indie mortals that are not Bruno Mars be based on selling merch? What wp template or plugins do you reccomend?
Thanks for the subliminal shout out! Hahaha! This video was very very helpful. Hopefully, you'll be able to find an artist with tons of great pixels and then see on their facebook page that they are also running ads. That would be really satisfying. Haha!
Really great to see a positive example to follow! I was wondering though, are some of the strategies being used only appropriate for high-profile artists? I had always thought an up-and-coming indie would want to have music/video before the fold, social icons, and probably a bio, but do you recommend we focus on merch and email sign up instead?
This was a great and needed video because we just made our website, so this helped SO MUCH with having something to think about and a good example to base off of and compare with when it comes to our own personal page!
It goes to show what happens when you see the difference in a top end artist that put trust in someone that has full understanding of creating dopamine spikes over an intimate connection towards their fans on the website. But it’s crazy that the company didn’t do any retargeting on fb.
Kyle you crack me up! This makes me want to get designer merch and put it on every page of my website. And DEF retarget on FB for open carts, upsells, etc!!
Hey Circa, I’m an indie pro member! I currently have a wix site which I think will work well to capture email addresses as I know my way around it. However am worried about the e-commerce capabilities with regards to upsells, so would you suggest I have a separate shopify store that my wix site links to when you click on merch? Would appreciate the advice! Tom.
Hey Tom, The Shopify store link-out strategy will work best. If you want to add upsell processes to your Shopify, use 1ClickUpsells by Zipify (their Shopify Page Builder is also flames). Wix is a really bad platform to build something serious on, so you'll eventually bump up against a need it can't provide. However, for now, a main Wix site and a Shopify you can link out to will do. Good luck, and I hope that helps!
Circa, love what you are doing with these videos. Coupled with the Indeprenur courses, these real life examples you are breaking down really brings the ideas and concepts you explore in the tutorials to life for us. Thanks for this. In this breakdown, you focused heavily on the FB pixels. Which pixels would you suggest are mandatory for an artist's webpage who is in the grassroots stage of their career?
Haha your enthusiasm for an effective webpage is infectious dude! I'm beginning to think that maybe merch and subscription buttons are pretty important....... maybe....
wow! i thought this was only happening in south africa but clearly not, the biggest artist right now doesn't have a website, only social media this is crazy!.

Love adding the Facebook ad section! Very interesting

Excellent job Circa. Great Vid.
Oh man, I've got a lotta work to do! Excellent as always!
With social media I sometimes forget how important website branding is. Great work!
You bring the gold every time 💪🏾 I listen to the Spotify podcasts on the way to gigs and rehearsals
thanks for taking the time to break all of this stuff down for us! I gotta step my merch game up like Mr. Mars...
Haha well don't set the bar TOO high - he's clearly got a merch-design team behind this stuff!
Another great audit! Got some work to do, thanks!!!
Great video! You rock!! Thx.
Couple of questions tho, should the content for indie mortals that are not Bruno Mars be based on selling merch? What wp template or plugins do you reccomend?
Wow, I’d have never thought to look at a website like Bruno’s for a model, but it makes sense. Thanks for pointing all this stuff out!
No problem Borin!
Thanks for the subliminal shout out! Hahaha! This video was very very helpful. Hopefully, you'll be able to find an artist with tons of great pixels and then see on their facebook page that they are also running ads. That would be really satisfying. Haha!
This is both hilarious and eye opening! My favorite series on the channel
Haha we will have to make more then!
“If was your designeeeerrrrr” is probably what you’re singing at this point lol
Good stuff - surprised other pros aren’t all doing this....
It is alarming how much they arent
This is awesome! Tell them what 's what Circa!

wow I gotta make website run Bruno's

Good insights! Thanks for sharing those interesting thoughts
Added to the watchlist!
Wow. I like how in-depth these website reviews are. Good Stuff!
Very useful thank you!
Very Informative! Great Job!
Bro, you're brilliant...so much good perspective! Fucking nailed it
I need all this right here...
Gotta work on my site!
Kyle you crack me up! This makes me want to get designer merch and put it on every page of my website. And DEF retarget on FB for open carts, upsells, etc!!

yet another reason Bruno stays on top of the charts and so connected with his fans!
i don't have a website but this is wild!

lmfaoooo amazing content! very informative as well as entertaining!
Yes his site has it all! Making adjustments to our site now :)
It's time to get to work! Great analysis.
you are SO awesome.
Awesome.
killing it again, on point!!
This is really genius, but yet common sense at the same time 😂
Damn I need a website....I’ve been slacking......
Haha your enthusiasm for an effective webpage is infectious dude! I'm beginning to think that maybe merch and subscription buttons are pretty important....... maybe....
lol THEY ARRREEE!!!!
Really appreciated this one! I got some work to do. Keep doing you.
I will man! Glad it helped - we appreciate YOU for watching!
I need a new website too!
Main stream artists are going to start doing what we are.
oh bruno? What are you doing
this vid inspired me to revamp our band website. great stuff!
Right on!
Excellent breakdown! I need to get to work on mine.
Love this series! So useful.
A lot more than a new band with limited to no merch can implement, but great to know how to do it as we (hopefully!) progress.
Definitely will have to re-watch when we are ready to create our website!
wow this is definitely the most lovely video of them all
Very helpful .. Thank you.
Idk how you do all these videos Circa! You're a machine! #RealestCiggaAlive
Awesome example. Always good to know what to aim for.
Top info as always
This helps tremendously! Thanks
His website just blew my mind
Me too! Normally Major Label websites are terrrrrrible
This was incredibly helpful. Crazy
I really enjoyed this!
You're nailing UA-cam style.
Very informative. Thank you.
This was honestly pretty eye opening
Have you figured out who the pixels belong to and how are they using retargeting?
Now i know what to look at when I'll be making my own website
gonna be taking some serious tips from this, thanks
No problem Mikey!
Haha!! A banner ad on his own website! Lol. His new site looks like it’s banking. If it’s not, it should be! 😆
Indepreneur sent me! love the videos
Genuinely, this blew my little mind. Will be imitating this website just because it's fab.
wow! i thought this was only happening in south africa but clearly not, the biggest artist right now doesn't have a website, only social media this is crazy!.
Thank you, so helpful!
Great video!
Lol I love when calling out things like this. Great video.
this is something i would have never thought of!
Modeled our website after Bruno's... Huge difference! Critiques welcome... www.hiltonparkband.com
This video was actually really helpful
Looks like I have some adjustments to make to my website now haha
Very informative!
Damn I gotta step up my pixel and opt in game!

Wow! I never realised how websites affect behaviour!
Dang! That hat was dope. I got to get me some Bruno bling.
WOW love this!
Nice!
Great insight on how a great website should be designed
great work!
Very helpful thanks
This was a good insight
🤘🏾 thx for the tips

How would you go about getting something like this done for yourself?
Bruno loves the pixel
Ha, this was cool to watch, after already seeing the Post Malone one on how to do it so bad! Thanks
thanks. I feel better now. .
contest Steez
Good info!
Nicely done
Thanks for this!
