MenuWhat is the best strategy for growing a email list for my music fanbase and growing my fanbase in general?
Answers
There are a few things you can do to grow your email list, and then use that list to grow your fanbase in general.
First, it is important to research what works best for you. Different musicians have different fanbases, so the approach you take will depend on your music and what type of fan you are hoping to attract. For example, if you are a pop punk musician, you might want to focus on using digital ads to grow your subscribers. Alternatively, if you are a country musician, you might want to focus on building relationships with radio stations and other music industry professionals.
Once you have determined what kind of strategy will work best for you, it is important to put in the effort. Be sure to keep your email list up-to-date with the latest news and information about your music. Also, make sure to send out regular promotional emails that include new songs, tour dates, and other information about your music.
In addition to using email marketing, social media can also be used to build relationships with fans. You can use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms to connect with your fanbase directly. This way, they can ask questions and provide feedback about your music. Additionally, social media allows you to market your music more broadly to a larger audience.
Overall, there are many ways that you can grow your email list and fanbase. The most important thing is to put in the effort and see results!
I sugest you research this keyword "Growth Hacking".
One strategy that can be highly effective is to develop strategic partnerships with other musicians, artists, or brands. By teaming up with like-minded individuals or companies, you can tap into their audience and reach new fans that may not have been aware of your music previously.
Co-marketing initiatives are a great way to achieve this, as you can collaborate on content or promotions that will benefit both parties.
In a strategic partnership, 1+1=3, as you are able to leverage the strengths of each party to create something even better.
First off, I applaud you for the time and effort you are putting into your music career! Congrats! As an artist, you definitely want to set yourself up, so your time can be focused on your creativity and not too much business stuff. Having said that, you don't need to spend a ton of money on paid media these days. There are more efficient ways to invest your time and resources, and the ultimate goal is to make your media strategy self-funding through passive revenue and brand deals. This is easily done by leveraging social media platforms and leaning into viral video principles. When I was at BuzzFeed and YouTube we helped artists build their platforms into self-sustaining marketing streams. It's all about knowing the algorithms, your audience, and building community through repeatable frames and clear targets. You want your audience to form a community around you and support and grow with you. I'd lean more into short-form video across social channels with really clear and focused strategy. Stay consistent, and go live on the platforms with your music to boost yourself in the algorithms. There's lots of backend tricks to boost visibility. Let me know if you're interested in chatting more about this. Either way, keep creating and sharing yourself with your specific audience! You'll get there.

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.AM

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW

About to launch our new eCommerce website selling well priced unique watches. What is the best initial marketing strategy to use with minimal cost?
Here are some answers for you that I believe will help you. 1. You should implement a long term and short term strategy right at the beginning. What I mean is that there are essential parts to your marketing like SEO and content marketing that you need to implement right in the beginning, but will take a while to filter through, but these are essential if you want to have organic traffic. That would be L-T. The best for Short term for a newly launched site is ad's. Word of warning though. Know your customers demographics such as age, income, education etc, know your competitors demographics and then find the platform (such as social media channels) where your ideal customer is based on those researched demographics and then roll out targeted ad's for them. 2. You have to implement social media strategies right from the beginning of course, based on your demographic research. 3. Get busy Blogging - start with content marketing now. 4. Sweepstakes - start a giveaway to get traction with clients and create awareness. 5. Make sure you collect emails as these are like gold dust for future email marketing. 6. Video marketing is essential for competitive retail space and very powerful to get found on search engines like Google. Prior to me launching my digital marketing business 5 years ago, I built an online retail business and made many expensive mistakes. And they can be costly if not implemented correctly from the beginning. So in summary: SEO - very important, Ad's, Social Media, Sweepstakes, Blogging, Video & email marketing. I trust this will assist you. Let me know if you wish to have a call to discuss these or have follow up questions. Regards KennethKT

What is the best timing in the new year to launch business marketing?
Hi there! In few words, the launch date does not matter a lot as long as you are following with a continuous marketing plan all the year. It is better to tune your lunch date according to your marketing campaign than connecting it to the seasonal event. The timing of your launch only matters if your website is already ranked or has a good authority associated to it. Launching a website is not like opening a local shop. The launch date is defined by the effectiveness of your marketing campaign. In other words, your question must be rephrased as: "When is the best time to launch my first marketing campaign for my newly created website?". In that case, you will need to describe in details what kind of website you have and how are you planning to market it. I would be able to give you a more accurate answer if you explain to me what kind of website are you planning to launch or what products mainly are you selling. Hope that helps!RZ

I have to ask why you would start an agency in an area you don't have much experience in. Perhaps you'd be better off getting at least a little experience first?AV
