  • Performing as a artist in the face of Corona virus?

    You probably have been brain storming about how you can still continue performing as a artist in the face of Corona virus. Many recording artist and musicians need ideas during the corona virus lock down. Right now every artist on this globe is affected by this pandemic, but there are some things you can do to remain relevant as a artist among your fans.
    Here are a few ideas i want to share with you!

    Live-streaming concerts

    1. Nothing can replace the live gig experience, but online concerts can be entertaining in their own way.

    If you’re an emerging artist, I’d advise you to make all your live stream broadcasts public just to build on whatever engagement is happening. Live streaming can also be profitable, so be sure to use a PayPal.me or Venmo link in the video description or comments to encourage donations.
     
    Check out these live-streaming options:
    7 things to remember about live-streaming
    GO LIVE – If you’ve never gone live before, you’re probably going to be nervous.
    You may even feel awkward. Every time you go live you’ll get better.
    Not A Real “concert” – Live streaming is more casual and interactive than a real concert So… be casual and interactive online. Your bedroom might be an even more effective background for a live stream than setting up some fancy home studio, because it feels authentic.
    Include Your Audience – Play a little bit of your song and then engage your audience early-on, prompting them to respond in the comments. This shows engagement
    Do something eye-catching – Our eyes are conditioned to ignore live streams where it’s just someone holding a guitar, so from the beginning do something attractive and eye opening to catch peoples attention.
    Team up – Some platforms allow you to have multiple participants in a broadcast, so you could have a co-bill or mini-festival online.
    They don’t all have to be performances – Telling stories, asking questions, or teaching people… there’s lots of other things to do besides playing just your song.

    Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms around these days and is still growing. The platform hasn’t quiet met its peak as yet, but is rapidly gaining interest throughout the world. Although Instagram is still in its baby stages its a good tool to use to gain some music fans.

    When using Instagram the first thing you need to remember as a artiste is that people are not online to listen, buy or talk about music. I know this may be argued but its true! people go to Instagram to look at  pictures, shared videos or simply look through hash tagged posts. Don’t get discouraged because that is exactly what you want.

    You want to use Instagram as an extension to what you are already doing. You don’t want Instagram to be the focus point of your music campaign. I see a lot of artiste do this and fail. Once that mistake is made they become frustrated, loose focus and let it all go. Social media all together is just a small portion of the large pie, everything is connected and Instagram is part of that connection.

    Don’t over saturate Instagram you will become too common and people will loose interest and ultimately become bored! You want to tease and entertain your prospected fans. Post on average 2 to 3 times per day or every other day. You want to be remembered but you don’t want to be just another artiste promoting music. There are tons of independent artiste who are randomly posting none stop all day, don’t add yourself in that mix.

    Here is an example, Instagram has a live feed feature now. Use that live feed and record your band rehearsal, during the rehearsal encourage the audience to check out more of your music or performances within your profile link. Hopefully you have a profile link that will take the individual to your website so they can see more performances or hear more music.

    Use hashtags to help with posts. The last thing you want to do is post and it goes no where! You want to use hashtags that are relevant to your music genre. Also be creative with how you use hashtags, that will determine how you grow your Instagram following. Also have a good balance between popular hashtags and less popular tags.

    Finally, be as consistent as possible. Coming up with creative content is difficult at times but take your time and stretch out some of your posts. Once you do this you will begin to gain some Instagram presence. Most importantly remember to stay positive, work hard and bare in mind nothing happens over night, but if you work hard you will see things go your way.
