CREATING A SMART BUZZ ABOUT YOUR MUSIC - INCREASE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA "VALUE"

"Once your products are created, simply write about them, talk about them, and create articles from the content and say “Yes” to interviews. The buzz created will point people back to your site." - Kytka Hilmar-Jezek

Same goes for music. Once you have a new "product", begin a smart and well thought out buzz to get it heard and increase your social media "value".

1.) Tell your fans, promote the heck out of it in new, creative ways, not just "here's my new CD" or "check out my video." 

 Create contests that involve fans. Put them in your videos to promote the music. Here's an idea, choose a few random fans that are regular hardcore promoters of your music, pick up the phone & call them, ask them for ideas, get quotes to use in trade publications. Don't just rely on industry quotes. There is no bigger promoter than your fan base. They'll be honest about your music.

2.) Connect w/ bloggers, journalists, and local media. 

Don't turn down an interview request because you don't think the audience won't be big enough - do you really want to put limits on your publicity and possibilities? Anyone willing to genuinely help you and is interested enough to talk to you about your music is a good thing.

3.) Respond to as many tweets and Facebook comments as you can personally without relying on a social media manager all the time. 

A social media manager can never convey the same emotion as you can when it comes to what you want to say and what's on your mind. If you're proud of your new project, take the time to tell people why it means so much to you. If you have time to read your timeline, you have time to interact on it. When fans and potential fans see that you take the time, they'll take the time in return. Nothing means more to a fan than a personal connection. So, 3 things - FIND the time, MAKE the time, TAKE the time.

4.) Don't oversaturate your or your fans timelines and don't swim all into their DM's with the same spam posts over and over. 

There's nothing more of a turn off than constant spam about a new project or show. When you look at an artist's timeline and it's nothing but the same tweet over and over, it's honestly annoying as hell and the quickest way to get someone to move on. Change it up, post about it a few times during the day but differ the wording, make it less "robotic" and make it more personal. You want to create a buzz, not put people to sleep. Also, if you're going to send someone information about your music, take the time to introduce yourself and thank them for listening, don't just DM a link and "Here's my new single." That is the surest way to get the opposite reaction than the one you hope you'll get.

This is your product, your music, your name, your reputation and fans are the ones who make the difference between your career and your hobby. Be buzz smart.

#ARTISTTIPS - EVERYBODY'S TWEETIN' AND POSTIN'

Social Media is a HUGE platform for new artists. It not only allows you to get your music out there, it allows you to bridge that gap between you and your fans, bring you closer to the front lines and get to know them better and allows them to get to know you better. If you're not active and regular on social media , you're missing an important opportunity to expand your audience.

Not Sure What to Post?

People are hesitant about what they should or should not put on social media and that's a good thing because there are some things that just need to be left off your timeline, especially if your purpose is to GAIN fans. Stay away from inflammatory subjects such as politics, tabloid garbage, "personal" details, etc. There is such a thing as TMI.

Try These Instead:

- What Are You Doing???  - Are you working on a new CD? Tweet about it. Are you on the road and discovered a cool new venue? Tweet about it. Did you adopt a rescue animal? Tweet about it, people LOVE animals.

- What Is Coming Up? - Do you finally have a release date for your new video? Put it out there. What's next on your tour schedule? Upcoming TV appearance? Talk about it!

- Share Interesting Content - It doesn't always have to be music. Did you see a new movie that you really liked? Did you hear a song by another artist that you fell in love with? Share what interests you with your fans.

- Retweet, Re-post, Repeat - Simply liking a post isn't getting the word out. If someone tweeted something nice about you, complimented your new song, raved about your latest performance - like it AND re-post it so others can see the positive feedback you're getting.

- Ask Questions - Ask your fans what THEY want to hear, ask what their current favorite song by any artist is, ask for ideas. You could get an idea for your next hit single or video just by asking a simple question. You may also find out what fans DON'T like that you're doing which is always helpful and might make you rethink some things. You may even discover that your "team" isn't exactly doing what they should be doing like updating your website, posting as often as they should be, etc.

- Fun Stuff - Post funny videos that made you laugh, non-offensive memes, jokes ... make your fans laugh, let them see the not so serious side of you. Brett Eldredge, Mark Wills, Joe Bonsall, and Blake Shelton are some of the best at this and they know how to keep 'em coming back just by making them look twice and laugh.

- Recommendations - Thinking about seeing a movie or looking for a new book to read on the bus? Ask your fans for their recommendations. Want to try a new restaurant on your next tour stop? Ask the people that live in that area.

- Likes and Dislikes - Find out what your fans like or dislike about your new single, video, social media account, website, etc.

- Snapshots from The Road - People love pictures.They love anything visual and social media is big on visual content. Post pics from the road, pics of you with fans, pics of your new dog, etc. Give your fans the bigger picture.

- A Simple Acknowledgement Goes a Long Way - Acknowledge random tweets on your timeline. Respond unexpectedly and make someones day. Thank them for showing off your new t-shirt in their latest tweet, thank them for making the 5 hour drive to see your last show, congratulate them if you see they're celebrating something such as a birthday or birth of a new baby. Show them that it's not all about you. Show them that they matter.

- Take Part in Social Media Events - Answer questions in a Twitterview, live tweet from events, etc Facebook Live, Stage It and Periscope are great ways to bring yourself to your audience when they can't physically get to your show or when you just feel like doing something off the cuff. Imagine if Elvis had been able to Facebook Live from the Jungle Room at Graceland or if Merle Haggard just performed an acoustic Stage It show from his couch?

- Post Random Thoughts on Life - share quotes, advice or photos that have helped you through rough times. If they helped you, they may help someone else who really needs it.

Don't be afraid of social media. It's an advantage that wasn't around for artists until just a few years ago. It can be a machine that can move your career forward rapidly or if you use it wrong, it can move you in the wrong direction. Use it wisely, use it regularly ... just use it to your advantage!

#SOCIALMEDIATIPS FOR ARTISTS - DO'S AND DON'TS FOR MAXIMUM POSITIVE RESULTS

As someone who is on social media way too much, I notice a lot of things that make me cringe and a lot of things that make me want to hug an artist's neck for nailing it. I'm not an expert by a long shot, but I am someone who pays attention and who conducts feedback with fans about what they see that makes them want to follow an artist or unfollow an artist. Here are a few tips that might make all the difference for your fan base.

DON'T OVER PROMOTE

Yes, promotions is a HUGE part of what social media is about, however it's not ALL that social media is about. A timeline that is full of nothing but your show dates, what number you hit on Reverbnation, and music release dates is boring, informative but boring. There's no need to post it daily or multiple times a day. Make sure it's on your website and refer your followers to your website for the most current and up to date info. Posting a couple of times a week is more than sufficient or you can post your latest show and "pin" it so that's the first thing that will be seen on your timeline when visited then when the show is over, "un-pin" it and "pin" your next show/cd release announcement/etc. This was it's in your timelines and showcased but not showing up in everyone else's feed multiple times a day. Over promotion tends to turn people off and even the biggest fans will get bored with constant pats on your own back and over promotion of yourself.

DO BE HUMAN

Don't let your Twitter become automated and sound like it's being run by the Rosie the Robot. Tell jokes, laugh, show emotion. Don't fill it with automated responses like "I had XX unfollowers according to TheyLeft.com". No one cares who unfollowed you and if you constantly show who unfollows you, it tends to make it look like you are more focused on your numbers than your actual connections. Post things that appeal to the human spirit. Go through your timeline and respond to posts you see a fan excited about something, having a hard time or they just need a smile.

DON'T GET TOO PERSONAL

We don't need to know about your gynecologist appointment, your possible STD that you might have caught from your latest groupie, your marital woes or anything else you wouldn't want posted on the news to the world. Twitter is your own newscast, keep it light and friendly, keep your dark side to yourself. Would you want your mom or your child to read it? If not, don't post it. Fans don't need to know everything about you no matter how bad they may want to.

DO BE PERSONALLY ACTIVE / DON'T RELY ON SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS

Social media managers are great, but don't rely on them to share YOUR thoughts, YOUR ideas, YOUR comments. It doesn't take 2 seconds out of your day to say something to your fans. No one likes to see a response from you with "Team XX" at the end or tweets that obviously don't sound like something you would post. Fans know the difference.

DON'T BE NEGATIVE

The world is negative enough, don't add to it. I get the whole political climate right now and how we all have our own thoughts, but don't be part of the problem. If you have a personal account, fine, go at it. bash and complain all you want to about this, that or the other, but your business account is for business and negative posts are never good for business. To add to that, don't engage the trolls. That's what they live for, or should I say don't live for because they obviously have no life other than to try to get a rise out of people ALL DAY LONG. Don't feed the fire. Block 'em and move on. Don't let negativity pull you over to the dark side.

DON'T EXPECT OVERNIGHT INCREASE IN FOLLOWERS

The only way your followers are gonna go to a gazillion overnight is if you go the crap route and buy them or create fake accounts and follow yourself. Don't do that crap. If you keep your posts interesting and post consistently, they'll come on their own. Be patient Grasshopper, be patient. Good things come to those who don't cheat the system and play the game honestly. Besides, don't you want followers who actually care about your music and not random BS accounts who are following you just for numbers sake?

DON'T FORGET TO USE TOOLS TO ENHANCE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA EXPERIENCE

Keep in mind that not everyone uses Twitter so post on other sites too. Use a "multi-post" app that allows you to post to multiple sites at once. Use schedulers if you need to, and I know there's a reason for them, but use them sparingly. You don't schedule your thoughts, why schedule your posts? When someone responds to you and you've posted using a scheduler and you don't actually get on Twitter for a week, think of how many chances to interact with fans you've missed.

DO HAVE A PLAN

Don't just haphazardly jump on social media without a plan to build a fan base. Think about the posts YOU like to see, what keeps YOU logging on, what keeps YOUR interest? How much do you want to post? A little? A lot? What is your end goal of starting a social media account?

DON'T DRUNK TWEET

Oh sweet baby Horace, don't do this. We'll just leave that there. It can just get too ugly and before you know it, you're all over TMZ looking like an ass. Just don't.

DO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PROMOTE OTHERS WHO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PROMOTE YOU

There is nothing worse then an artist who never responds to tweets. It's called SOCIAL media, be SOCIAL. You have to engage to build interest and you have to build interest to build your fan base. Rummage through your timeline a few random times a day, randomly say hi to a fan, show an interest in what they have to say whether their post is about you or not. Some tweeters post some great content if you pay attention. Just engage and show that you care, it's not time consuming and it only takes a few minutes.

Also, if you see a blogger, magazine, website or podcast that talks about you often, make a point to cross promote them and give them a little acknowledgement in return. It NEVER hurts to cross promote. If they're sharing you with their followers, share them with yours and combine your followers.

DON'T LIMIT YOUR FOLLOWBACKS / TWEETS AND RETWEETS TO OTHER ARTISTS OR CELEBRITIES

I see a lot of artists who only respond to celebrities and only follow other artists. Why? Don't leave your fans on the outside looking in and wishing they could be part of your party. Just because you follow fans back doesn't mean you have to become bosom buddies and share dog pictures. It just means that you took the time to check out their timeline and you find them interesting enough to follow. You can always mute them if they get a little overwhelming and you don't have to turn on notifications for all of them.

Retweet tweet from fans that you find interesting that you think your fans will find interesting too. Jump in a conversation that you see going on and give some feedback. Where's that word again, oh yeah, ENGAGE.

DO SAY THANK YOU

Two small words make a HUGE impact and can last the life of your career.  Randomly thank fans for taking the time out of their day to listen to, talk about and share your music. Thank them for driving hours to see you even though they have to work the next day. Thank them for buying your latest t-shirt that you see them wearing in a picture they posted. You might not consider this, but some people put off paying bills and spend their last dime to come see you or purchase your music. That deserves at least a thank you. At the very least, respond to a complimentary post with a thank you.

DO SOMETHING TO STAND OUT

Post webisodes, create funny memes that make fun of you or your band, run contests, post funny pictures of you with your kid, do something, ANYTHING to stand out above the other tweets on someones timeline.

If anyone else has tips that might help an artist combat the "Damn Your Twitter Sucks" blues. post them out there on Twitter! Fans are an artists best means of promotion so help your artist promote themselves in a good light and share your ideas!

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN A SUCCESSFUL FACEBOOK FAN PAGE

Everyone wants to run a fan page these days on Facebook, but are you running your fan page to it's fullest potential? Noticing you aren't getting many "likes" or that your fan numbers are dropping? Here are a few tips to help you run an amazing page. A successful and popular page requires time, patience, the ability to get along with various types of personalities and the ability to  think outside the box. Do you have those 4 things? If you answered yes, then you can run a successful Facebook fan page.

1. Create an awesome cover page that draws people's attention, same with the profile picture. 

Visual is everything. Don't just use a standard picture, create one that will wow visitors to your page. Do some research, check out other fan pages, google Facebook covers. Create a collage of fan photos from your artist's concerts. Here's where your creativity kicks in.

2. Network with other social media pages and websites for your artist. 

Your content doesn't need to be exclusive to you. Share articles, photos, videos and contests that mention your artist and be sure to credit your source, link to them if they have a website or social media site. Credit photographers and videographers. If you post something original about your artist, share it on other pages as well using the link for your post so it will direct back to your page and bring in more fans.

3. Be a valuable resource for information, not just pictures and videos. 

Make sure you are a central place for ALL things related to your artist, not just photos and videos. Include show dates. links to ticket purchase sites and venue sites, special events, news and giveaways.

Page admins can add multiple tabs. Tabs can be added to the left side of the page just like on your
personal profile.

Keep your content updated regularly. There is nothing more aggravating than going to an artist's page and not seeing the most current info and posts.

Share posts from your artist's official social media pages, but don't over post. Fans don't need to see every single post from every page. Share the stuff that's gonna get feedback and make an impact.

4. Work Positively with Pre-Existing Pages.

It's not necessary for there to only be ONE fan page if those already established can co-exist peacefully and work together. The more properly and positively run fan pages there are, the more traffic you draw to your artist and that's the goal, not competition. You can also share information among yourselves which creates more of a "community" feel than just another "fan page".

5. Target the right audience.

Know the audience your artist will appeal to. Posting about your favorite country artist on a rock and roll radio station's page is a waste of time as is sending out posts on your personal page. Chances are not everyone on your personal page is as into your favorite artist as you are. Choose who you promote to and make sure they'll be interested in what you're saying and the music you're trying to "sell" them on. Don't waste your time on just anyone and everyone. You want to foster relationships with those you common interests with and the main common interest is the artist and their music.

6. Keep the negativity to a minimum, a zero actually. 

Nothing turns potential fans off than bitching and moaning, criticizing and negative posting. Keep a positive arrow pointed at your target, your artist. Everything you post on your fan page directly reflects on the artist you're promoting.

7. Page admins need to be accessible and friendly. 

You may run the page but you don't own the artist. If you work directly with an artist, be sure to run things by them regularly instead of just running with something. You're representing them and how you handle things can help or hurt them. If you have an issue with a fan, take it behind closed doors and don't argue on the public wall. Be there to answer questions in a timely manner. If you have an app on your phone, turn on notifications and have your message section turned on. Respond timely, don't let messages or posts sit for days unanswered. Don't say that you officially represent an artist unless the artist has given you permission to do so and knows that you're telling people you are "official." That can be very misleading to readers.

8. If you're gonna start a page, keep it going.

If you are going to take the time to build a following, you have to take the time to keep things moving. Posting once or twice a week isn't going to keep interest, but neither is posting a gazillion times a day. Plan your posts, plan what you want to say and the content you want to use. We're all busy but if you start it, you need to keep it going. If you find that it's too time consuming, either turn the page over to someone else and step aside or close the page completely.

Start doing your favorite artist a favor and represent them professionally and make it enjoyable for everyone. Get people talking!

SO YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST WON'T RESPOND TO YOUR TWEETS? THIS MAY BE WHY ...

The purpose of social media is to connect with people and the goal of many music fans on Twitter is to make that connection with their favorite artist. Who doesn't like to get a response back from an artist or better yet, a follow? Twitter is the most powerful tool there is for connecting on social media and the best way for a most direct connection between fan and artist other than being at a concert. That being said, there are ways to connect positively and ways that will definitely make you known to that artist but in a not in the way you'd hoped. Here are some tips to make your Twitter experience a positive one! Remember that Twitter is just a simple conversation, the only difference is that it's done via a keyboard. This isn't written as a self-proclaimed "expert", "guru", "maven" or any other self important word people tend to give themselves, but it is written from experience and from conversations I've had with celebrity friends that I have offline and interact with. I've had conversations with many artists and this is always a question I ask them, "what is the best way to get your attention on social media?". It's simply observation and information. You want to get their attention, not get a restraining order.

Don't Tweet Them To Death

We've all seen it - a million tweets from the same person in our favorite artist's timeline. It fills up the timeline over and over again. Some even make your skin crawl. Keep in mind that artists and celebrities are crazy busy. They're not sitting at their computer or looking at their phones all day. There are rehearsals, travel time, schedules set by their labels and management, family time, recording time, etc. They don't get as much time to sit and respond as they'd like, but most do when they can. Also remember that they get hundreds, if not thousands, of tweets a day. It's very easy for you to get overlooked. It's not personal, it's just reality. If they see your tweet and want to respond, they will. If they don't, don't take it personally, they can't realisitically respond to every tweet they get on a daily basis nor are they required to. While Twitter is a great marketing tool for them, it's also not something they have to do. Most do it because they love the interaction, some do it because their management tells them to. Put yourself in their shoes and in the scenario of being offline - do you want someone texting or calling you 45 times in an hour? No, it would drive you crazy and make you wonder if this person is crazy or not. Being persistent is fine, being a pest is not. You can cross the line from fan to creeper pretty quickly which can also lead from being welcome to being blocked.

Keep Your Tweets Interesting 

It's awesome that you "love their music" or that you "can't wait to see them", blah blah blah. Amp it up a little, tell them WHY you love their music, why it makes an impact on you. You can fit it into 140 characters with some creativity and real thought. Tell them something personal that connects you to their music, of an experience you had at a show that stuck with you, tweet something funny (those tend to get a ton of attention). Avoid the "you're so hot", "I love you", "Luke, you could make my speakers go boom boom" tweets. Those are a dime a dozen and are often overlooked.

Don't Include Them in Every Conversation

Yes, we know you want them to know you're talking about them but it's not necessary to include their handle in every conversation, every response, every tweet throughout your day. Fans who are reading an artist's timeline don't want to see your conversation with @Fan123 @WhoCares119 @ITalkAlot419 @OMGWTF about how dreamy he is or how you made the coolest sign to take to the next concert. Keep some conversations just between you and your friends, unless you are talking directly to the artist or have already started a conversation with them that included a response from them. It's like talking about someone and hoping they overhear you, not cool and again, it's overkill and is a HUGE turn off.

Don't Talk Negatively

Talking about someone negatively will connect, but not in the way you hoped. Even though you may think telling an artist  things like they "look tired", "need to rest", or "sounded a little off" at the last performance is being helpful or concerned, to a lot of them, it comes across as negative. I'm pretty sure they already know they're tired and know they sounded off, no need to tell them. Try to keep your tweets positive, constructive. Negative tweets will never get you anywhere except blocked.

Offer to Help Them

Yes, most already have a TON of help getting their music heard, but the newer artists don't. They depend on fans to be their first point of contact. Tweet them and ask them how you can help, what do they need from you to promote their music? Offer ideas. Be proactive. Let them know if you have a venue in your area you'd like to see them play or an event.

Don't Demand or Hound Them

They're people just like you, they just have a different job. You don't like it when people demand that you do something, return the courtesy online. Don't beg for follows, give them a reason as to why you're a good person to follow. What makes you so interesting that they should follow you? Just because you followed them doesn't mean they're required to follow you back. If they haven't responded to your tweets, don't constantly ask them "why are you dissing me?", "what did I do wrong" or "why don't you like me?" That comes across as needy, clingy and desperate and while it will attract their attention, it will do so in a negative way. You'll become known as "that person" and none of us want to be "that person".

Just Be Nice and Talk, Be Yourself

Tweet a compliment, a thank you, a song lyric of theirs that means a lot to you, something that makes them want to respond. Kindness will work so much better than pressure or being annoying. Stand out in the Twitter crowd, don't blend. This is your chance to connect and even though the changes are remote, maybe even really make a friend of your favorite artist. Respect them and they'll respect you.

Enjoy your experience, don't stress over it. Twitter can be a fun place if used correctly.

TIPS FOR SPOTTING FRAUDULENT ARTIST SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

There are several fake artist accounts out there on social media created by people who have nothing better to do than sit at a computer and pretend to be someone else, either to get your attention or even worse, to steal your personal information. Granted some fans set up pages to try to help promote an artist and can come across like they're pretending to be that person by copying and pasting everything that the artist posts and sharing the same photos too. Those people just don't know how to set up and run a proper fan page. If the posts on a page are identical to an official artist page, stick with the official page and leave the "fan" page alone. Before "liking" an artist page, do your research and make sure you're giving your attention and promoting the real account.

1.) Most bigger names and some newer names will be officially verified by Facebook and Twitter by a blue check mark. If there is no blue check mark, this is a HUGE red flag that chances are the person you're hoping to connect with and telling other people to connect with is not who you think it is. More times than not, the real account will have this to alert you that it's been verified by the website's security and that it IS the right person.

2.) Most official artist websites will have a link to their official social media pages right on the home page. If you click the social site button and it takes you to a page different than the one you thought was the right one, that's a surefire sign you've been duped. Unlike or unfollow the imposter and move over to the page the artist's website refers you to. Report the fraudulent account to Twitter, FB or Instagram. (Whichever site you find the page on).

Notice the blue checkmark below next to Joe's name on both Twitter and Facebook. Instagram will have that as well if the celebrity has been verified.

3.) An official artist page will NEVER request money and will NEVER send you private messages with questionable content such as requests for money or involving content of a sexual nature. NEVER give these people ANY personal information such as phone numbers, email addresses or physical addresses and NEVER agree to meet them.

4.) Some of these people are trying to manipulate you into believing the artist wants to be your friend when all they're really after is either to simply play mind games or to set you up for theft of money, passwords, and other personal information.

5.) Read their profile or timeline. Do any of the posts seem oddly worded or like something your favorite artist would say? If you're a long time fan, you'll know how this person typically posts and their way of doing so. Most of these scammers can't even use correct spelling, grammar or punctuation and sound like idiots. When's the last time you heard Garth Brooks say "I need want be your friend. I am a God fearing man of honest nature."? You haven't and you won't. 

6.) Be aware of inconsistencies in their posts. Look for contradictions or things you know aren't factual.

7.) Most on Twitter will constantly RT things that the celebrity they are trying to impersonate are tweeting. Rarely do they have a genuine tweet from the fake account.

8.) Misspellings of Names: Most artists know how to spell their own names. Garth doesn't spell Brooks as "Brroks" or "Brrooks", Mark Wills doesn't spell his name as "Willz". Notice the example below: Jake Owen won't have his twitter account as @jjakeowen and even his Instagram is misspelled in the bio. He also follows no one and only has 20 followers and likely only recently set up the page. The real Jake Owen Twitter account has over 2 million followers. Just pay attention to the not so obvious.

9.) Most fake accounts will only have press photos, album covers, etc and will only have a couple of them, not albums. They will also use the exact photos that are on the real artist's page.

These accounts are growing more and more by the day and more artists are having problems with them so please be on the lookout for any others and not only let the artist or their management know about the page you have seen, but block it and report it as being a suspected fraud account. Never be afraid to report a suspicious page. In addition to protecting the artist, you're protecting yourself and other fans. It's better to be careful and wrong than get caught in their game and find yourself the victim of a potentially dangerous mind game that could result in identity theft, financial ruin or worse. Just be smart. Don't be the fan that gets taken for a fool. No celebrity connection is worth that. Straight truth - people are getting crazier by the day and scarier too!

Thanks for helping keep an eye out for these and doing what you can to close them down. They can be harmful to you and you not even realize it until the damage is done. Just use your best judgement and don't be so quick to "like" a page or respond to someone that raises your eyebrow with doubt.
