Sometimes you just need someone to tell you where to start...If you're someone who wants to share your music effectively...
10/02/2023

Sometimes you just need someone to tell you where to start...

If you're someone who wants to share your music effectively and use social media as one of your tools to do that, start here:

1. Describe (in hilarious detail) your "dream fan." Even if it feels cringey just to say the word "fan!" Throw the idea that your music is for "everyone" out the window, you weirdo. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Get super specific, and don't worry, a wider audience will be automatically attracted too!
2. Brainstorm content topics! Planning ahead makes a huge difference and will save you so much time and energy. No more sitting in front of your phone, scrolling through your camera reel, wondering what you could possibly post and feeling inauthentic while doing so...
3. Decide how often you can post - be realistic. Like, actually realistic. Platforms tend to love it when you post regularly at specific times/days, so use this to your advantage.
4. Set yourself a lil monthly date to plan and create your "content" (did you just throw up a little from reading the word content too?)
5. If NOTHING ELSE, just engage with people on the account! But like... like a a normal person, not a weird manipulatey weirdo. These are real people on the other side of the phone. (Well... some of them are bots I guess... but hopefully you get the point.) So show up in your stories, who your face if you can, reply to comments and messages, and build a sense of community! Why not!

More on intentional engagement in another post another day...

Keep in mind that there's no 1 magic solution for effective marketing on social media, and the platforms are always evolving.

And above all... be kind to yourself! Honour your boundaries with social media, and take time for mindfulness with and without tech.

โœจ Your mental health is more important than doing a "perfect" job on here.
๐ŸŒฟ Do whatever you can to make it fun. If you hate some aspect of your social media management, maybe you just don't need to do that part, or maybe you can delegate it to someone else.
โœจ Timers are your friend. Set a timer for your tasks and when the timer is done - you're free!
๐ŸŒฟ Glamorize your social media tasks! Light a candle, make a list, have a treat and a cup of tea.
โœจ It's ok to take breaks.

You are human. That is your superpower. ๐Ÿฆน

It often feels like being a human is the whole problem, but when I step back and think about how amazing humans can be, it changes my whole perspective.

๐Ÿ˜ We are so creative! We have this deep capacity and desire to connection, healing, hope, and delight.

Go easy on yourself, musicians ๐Ÿ’• You're a marvel just as you are.

1๏ธโƒฃ Set a timer for 5 minutes, close your eyes, and breathe mindfully before you get to work on planning your content.

2๏ธโƒฃ Make sure you take breaks while working on your content! Set a timer if you need to - I like the pomadoro technique, which is 25 mins on, 5 mins off (on a break), and repeats 4 times before you take a longer break. It totally makes me more productive and effective!

3๏ธโƒฃ Set an intention when you're intentionally engaging on your social media. Try something like "I am full of love," or "my work makes a difference," or "I am open to connecting" and see how this changes the way you engage!
