MenuIf you are starting a talent agency with musicians, is it better to boost the agency website page or the artist page?
What would the reasoning be behind boosting one or the other?
Answers
First define what you mean by boosting + your goal of boosting.
For example, if you're running paid traffic to your agency home page, consider if this is useful (monetizes).
Likely best to "boost" (I'm guessing you mean running traffic to) artist pages + then have artist pages point to a category (containing related artists) + have category pages reference your home page.
Google the term siloing for more information about various silo strategies.
Start with how you expect to monetize your efforts + design your site silo.
In my many years as an Agent, beyond the website and the artists pages, the most important thing to 'boost' is your relationships. the entire entertainment business is mostly based on that principle. happy to discuss further. best of luck.
If you're talking about Facebook I would say you're better off spending your money running direct adds to a specific demographic than boosting a page.
If you were talking about search engine optimization I would say both. You could start with the agency page and build a sub page for the artist and optimize both for the best experience.
Hi, I would definitely boost the artists first because that’s where most people are going to look first. You can start with a simple agency site but ultimately boost your artists first
You have to strengthen you house first so you can have business flowing through for you and your artists. When people can find your website and it is heavily promoted it helps everyone involved then they will see you and your artist especially if you have webpages on your website with artist photos and information your artist. Money and opportunities will go through your agency to your artists. As far as the artist boost and artist will feel that your agency is giving value to them in between opportunities if they are promoted. Cross promotion is helpful but, the agency traffic should be the first focus so that there is business opportunities for your artist and they want to stay with you.
Here are a few factors to consider when deciding whether to boost the agency website page or individual artist pages:
Agency website page: Boosting the overall agency page would help establish your agency's brand and credibility. It shows you have a stable business representing multiple artists. However, it may not directly lead to bookings for specific artists.
Artist pages: Boosting individual artist pages allows you to target fans directly interested in that artist's style, look, music samples, etc. This makes it more likely a boosted post would convert into real bookings, streams, or sales for that artist. However, boosting many artist pages could be more expensive than one agency page boost.
Goals: If your main goal is brand awareness and credibility for the new agency, boost the agency page. If your goal is to generate specific opportunities for your artists, boost the top individual artist pages first to see what performs best.
Budget: Consider your marketing budget; boosting the agency page may have a higher return on investment at first if funds are limited, versus boosting many artist pages.

How can I go about using social media outlets to attract new clients?
Hello, great question here. First of all you should understand that there is no 1 way and depending on who your audience is and what you sell the answer will definitely vary. A short answer however would be - engagement. Forget about likes and follows and shares are engagement, if you want to be a successful marketer you need to see engagement as conversations. The more conversations you can build around products the more you can rely on them to follow links or follow up on a request when you do make one. With that said, social media updates should be about what your followers want to see - depending on the social media - try to avoid being too pitchy on each post. My name is Humberto Valle, I have been a strategist for about 10 years now and have helped countless of entrepreneurs and businesses thrive through creative competitive strategy and marketing and I'm the co-founder of Unthink.Me. I hope my answer helps you a bit.HV

How to increase and maintain the growth of my twitter account?
I love what Lee said about being yourself but staying on message. And Ali was right: choose your goals then plan backward from them. Twitter is a tree: the more your water, fertilize, and prune it, the stronger it will be. Here are a few quick tips: · Actively prune inactive and spam accounts to keep the number of people you follow less than the number who follow you. · Talk to thought leaders, especially people who have more followers than you. Engaging them in conversation will put you on the radar of all their followers. · Give public "high fives." Compliment other people's work, writing, products, and thoughts, and 95% of them will like you. · Use TweetDeck to create custom streams based on the niches you're target, and Buffer App to schedule the delivery of new content. I have to use Buffer; otherwise, I'll sometimes forget to post my stuff! · Be yourself. I can't stress that one enough. · Keep in mind that bigger isn't necessarily better. Again, what is your goal? If you're trying to network in your industry, than a smaller following might be appropriate. If you're selling info products, then you'll need lots of people entering your sales funnel. · Have fun. I believe that people prefer to follow winsome people. · Stay consistent. Your following will grow steadily as long as you're posting steadily AND engaging people in conversation. · Be really generous. I believe that people prefer to follow generous people. · Go read one hundred blog posts about how to grow your Twitter following. By the time you're finished, you'll be the expert. Come back and teach all of us "experts" something, okay? AustinAC

How important is it to have a .com domain when starting up a business?
It's far less important than it used to be, because so many social media businesses are much more reliant on their apps than their desktop websites these days. Instagram launched (and grew fast) with the domain instagr.am, for instance.CM

What are the best tools to use for growing social media reach?
Hi! Happy to answer this question. Initially, I'd ask "what are you tracking at present?" And "what are your goals?" Software wise, I love to use a few tools for Twitter. Hootsuite to schedule relevant content (and not all tweets should be scheduled--happy to touch on this more), Tweetreach to get a feel for impressions/influencers who HAVE been engaging (in my mind, impressions are KEY, more so than Follower count because hashtags can help you reach more people) and Sprout Social for a more in depth view of your Twitter analytics. Getting more visibility/followers: what hashtags are you using? How often do you acknowledge those who follow you (new followers vs existing followers)? Are you just sharing autoscheduled content and links OR are you creating conversations? Hashtags wise: find those that have a community already centered around them! *You don't want to "hashtag hijack" however, tags like #smallbiz #blogchat #_________ specific to your industry or ideal client's industry can go a long way. Other tools that people use to track community and engagement include Sum All, and Commun It https://commun.it/ Once you start tracking impressions (and monitoring growth vs plateaus) you can then go back and look at your content to see which posts generated the most response/engagement. Again, just want to emphasize that creating conversations and asking questions are great methods to do all of the things you are looking to accomplish.JM
