I wonder.. As Iยดm looking at artists similar to me and my size, what if letยดs say they are all artists that were using ads, and they gave up because their growth stagnated, and I keep tagging and playlisting these artists, do I teach the algorithm to target their audiences? Which, were not good quality audiences? And then, does that negatively affect me?
Man, I cannot tell you how much I've struggled with music marketing. I went from the whole bots phase, to marketing "courses", to paying for playlisting, to paying facebook and instagram ads, all to figure out over $1,000 – $10,000s spent it doesn't work. Man. I wish I found your channel so much earlier.
Golden Information . ๐
had to rewatch this, thanks Jesse for the gems ๐๐๐๐ฝ
The thing I like most about your videos is that you are speaking reality! Even after the social media boom, music marketing principles are still the same as they were 40 years ago: the people!! Like the old saying goes, "It's not only about what you know but who you know and the relationships you've built." Instant subscriber Jesse! Thank you! ๐
Speading the hurt on us old fudes lol!
So I'm 60 and have a my life's catalogbto release. My target matket is mostly 45 and older. Im guessing FN is a good place for me even though it would suck for the youngins.
I have a budget to spend and nearly none of the desire it would take to do the work you're laying out in the videos. Are you for hire? I am extremely adamant about staying indie. In my early years, yes before internet, I made several good runs in biz by letting the guys like do that eork snd i was the creative one.
Let me know if you want to become the guy doing what you preach. If we can stike a worthy deal suitable to both our needs, rock on!
Thanks for yhe videos. You're obviously the most knowledgeable guy on YouTube for this subject.
Hi Jesse! I just discovered your channel and your content is awesome. I watched this video twice. I know in other videos you talk about a release schedule and how one does that. But what about just posting your very first song? Here you discuss reaching out to people with a similar size fan base. Should i just be posting anything at this point (maybe on youtube) and sharing it?
I heard you like i hyperpop. I made a hyperpop x hip hoo song i think you might like. Its pretty cool
You got the talk
anti vaxxxer, hahaha ohh dear here we go again with the copy paste npc catch phrase, ahh well you're so smart with this stuff, had be lacking in other areas. Can't have it all mate. ๐
Can you do a video where you screen record yourself finding some of these communities? Like a video where you actually go and find a few examples of these online communities and interact with them etc. etc.. Also maybe follow this same format for some of the other topics you cover like social media posts. Maybe do a step-by-step video of you making a fictitious TikTok post or Reels Post etc etc.. Sometimes watching someone do it works better than listening to them talk about doing it. Especially for those who are visual learners. ๐
Iโm a total fan of jesse cannon now
Sir i enjoy every single Video and learn and learn and learn…. already bought your book and read about 20% of it… question sir can you make a Video how to grow with YouTube shorts… that would for me very importand…. thank very much for your content
You think itโs necessary to do every single marketing and outreach strategy you mention in your vids? Or do you think going hard on a few that work well is enough?
Oh man, such good info, wish i where friendlier
these videos are great ive just watched like 4 in a row
Iโm trying to put together a dj mix using both my own and other small edm artistโs music. Iโm hoping this will help build some connections. Although at the end of the day, I think building a presence just takes awhile. Thanks for the advice btw! Your channel is very informative.
"Some places are just not appropriate for our whole selves" SAVAGE ๐๐
This video was extremely helpful! And, we like discovering new bands : )
yo man you talk about these editorial playlists, but for someone with less than 10k fans as you say, why even bother organizing your strategy around something that A: you can't control, & B: has like a 0.5% chance of happening? idk just seems inefficient.
love your channel btw, you're the shit my guy, super appreciate you๐ค
Manโฆhis voice ๐ฅด makes me feel like Iโm drowning ๐ฌ sorry i hate to be โthat guyโ
Really glad I came across this channel. Itโs made me realize I donโt do hardly any of these things consistently and I have a lot of work to do! Time to get to it ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ
