[@Burstimo]

Great content! We've been subscribers for a while and it's fantastic watching you grow 👊

[@GiorgioAustin]

oh shoot!.. I made it on Burstimo

[@Burstimo]

Love the content Austin...sorry for the name error 😬

[@newstrengthmusicgroup6384]

I love this channel. We are a record label in Jamaica. Starting from scratch your videos have been a great help for us. We take the info you provide and curb it a bit to suit our audience. Continue to do good work

[@andreascasen5418]

Loved the video! Not only because you brought up great ways to be creative and implement content, but also that you brake it down and explain WHY it works well, so similar concepts can be applied. Thanks again!

[@jackdrew1946]

The idea of doing the word of the day and the guess the song really is incredible! What a brilliant and fun way that feels natural and boosts engagement! It's so simple but so effective! Really am amazed with that, Thanks for sharing that with us Maddy

[@robjornayvaz8178]

It’s really helpful when you give concrete examples on your tactics like this.

[@Burstimo]

Glad to hear!

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

Y’all are providing some amazing for artists and music-vloggers like myself! 👌🏻🔥

[@Burstimo]

Thanks :) glad you're finding the videos useful 👊

[@adriankeats4891]

[@sidneymays]

Excellent vid as always. I’m especially fond when Maddy does the vids 😉

[@MauricioMirapalhetaSound]

Dope as hell. I had just made my tea when I opened this video, it fit the vibe. Very insightful, thank you for that

[@Burstimo]

Tea party!

[@VihanDamaris]

Thanks for sharing!

[@poeticnation6251]

Wow! Nice (Very nice)! This was extremely helpful. I felt my mind generating ideas as you were describing the things that worked, the things that didn't, and how to implement them into your own career. Pretty awesome information - Thank you for sharing.

[@YashMyGosh]

Tysm for the 🔥 Advice ! I needed this ! ❤️

[@LuchoPai]

Thanks so Much Busrtimo!... Great Video please more like this too, greetings from Chile

[@milodavinchi9626]

I can’t get tired of your videos. Thank you guys. Much much love🤟🏼

Big love ♥️

[@ParadymShiftVegan]

Excellent. I'm still finding this content very valuable. Thank you for sharing. I imagine that with practice, creating alluring titles and content will become easier and easier.

[@hush2091]

Drink that tea girl! You deserve it I love these videos lol

[@Burstimo]

Haha thanks man 👊

[@philcoopermusic]

Loving this style of video. The chilled delivery suits you.

[@pippagriffin]

This was so helpful, thank you!!

[@TyreeKartrell]

Awesome info. I have a hard time thinking of social media content to create. Especially when I'm still trying to write and produce my music.

[@AdilConstantineMusic]

Loving your channel and this was very helpful. Now time to go make music :)

[@moula0202]

I really do appreciate your content guys, keep it up!

[@alastairhoskinson8380]

This is amazing advice, I didn't realise how powerful TikTok is as a platform! Appreciate it!

[@FXWLL]

I definately love TikTok for content. KZbin I struggled with bc as a Launchpad DJ and producer the platform had its long standing established names in the community. So I decided to go for TikTok in December 2018. I'm now at 10.2K followers and counting. Alongside using playlists on Spotify I have managed to gain 5K streams for a track I recently put out. I highly recommend TikTok, it's still new and fresh, so easier to grow on than KZbin and IG. Plus as a Launchpadder it just lends itself well with the younger audience and the nature of what I do. I post Launchpad performance vids and also take trending tags and see if I can work the Launchpad into that somehow. It can be funny or informative but I like the memes and I like Tech House / Bass House style stuff so I often make tracks and vids around that.

[@devondreyer1199]

Great video! I've been having a tough time with what kind of content I want to make and I've come out of this one with a few ideas. Thanks 😊

[@ItsBintok]

Fun fact: the asian guy at 2:20 is actually my brother. What a coincidence

[@Burstimo]

Small world!

[@dirilisdanish2904]

Brilliant presentation, thanks for your amazing ideas. 😊❤

Please show us more artist like in this video. I watch your channel but this video really sparked my imagination! Great job 🙌

[@wydgiovanni]

Thank you very much!

[@AltoKeyMusic]

Great inspiration! I love the idea of a 1 hour challenge as it timeboxes you as well!

[@brunoerckmam5070]

I've been thinking about making an Instagram account to post my music stuff, this channel is really helping me to plan it, and make sure it goes right! Thanks a lot for the content guys!

[@Burstimo]

Do it 🙌

[@brunoerckmam5070]

@@Burstimo for sure! I'm just perfecting my content and making it look more professional, even though I don't have amazing gear, your strategies will definitely help me grow!

[@MichaelNight]

Hmm... I wonder if this stuff can apply for artists working in the slightly darker/heavier realm without coming off as unauthentic. Definitely great food for thought. You guys are awesome!

[@KnowleDJ]

some fantastic ideas here. thanks for sharing.

[@Yhhaah12]

Lots of value guys keep going thx

[@sketchwithnica8230]

i was just crying lately cuz im a worthless artist and now this made me happy❤️

Very helpful thank you 🙏

[@Mircorok]

Me vi como 10 videos seguidos! sos una genia!

[@theformerknights8538]

Thank you Maddy and Burstimo! You guys have been super super helpful with so many of the things you guys talk about. I've been trying to get more involved with other bands on Submithub, and writing down ideas for youtube content - but i'm behind on the making of it because i can't stop writing music instead of content! How does someone like me get to work with Burstimo? Trying to get involved with Damian Keyes as well, but both of you guys seem to know whats up, and I'm struggling to do the stuff I need to for social media stuff because i always end up with a guitar in my hand instead of a camera! Thank you guys anyway!

[@Burstimo]

You're welcome 🙏 Feel free to submit your music to us via the form on our site 👊

[@felixlfv]

amazing visual content: definitly the videos from kota the friend on youtube. SO refreshing !

[@chloechadwickmusic]

I love your videos and ive learnt a lot.... the problem I have is, Im a more mature artist trying to make it but all this batch content material, although I get, is very much for the young minded kids appealing to a younger audience. You wouldn't want to see an artist in their 30's singing into the camera.... it's just a bit sad and I wouldn't be comfortable. It would be really great to see more help assisted videos on the more mature artist! We are still here trying to make it too! xx much appreciated

[@PrincEmpire]

Im growing my audience organically by networking instagram. Its sloww but its real but at the same time im very much struggling with marketing side of things. Idk if ads work if they do how do i set them up. Should i use google ads facebook ads? Or just boost post on ig ? Like so many questions

[@sudpol9747]

Thank you for this vid

[@rushleroiixyungsean]

Yall help me a lot ❤

[@deathprism6072]

Great video, a lot of inspiration. will try some tips out.

[@LIlkash_]

I have 3 weeks till I release my first song, how often do I have to post my contents on social media? n does it have to be different each time?

[@Adyah]

This channel is a GOLDMINE!

[@felixlfv]

been watching you for a week now! So much value thanks so much :) Some of your videos or ideas don´t apply for every emerging artist thoe (exemple: ,,document your life, your backstage or a live session´´ : doesn´t apply to a college student who makes beats in his room alone at night before going to mcDonalds to work and pay off his rent) just an exemple, u might think abou it next time!

[@axel.lessio]

Wow, these examples are mind boggling! Thanks for sharing! (...though I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention Lewis Capaldi this time haha).

[@Burstimo]

I felt it was A BIT overused 😉

[@lizan8215]

Thank you for great tips! But when my Instagram fans me stuff (melody or beats) or even chooses melody or beats, how do you consider copyrights/royalties for each parts?

[@HLordz301]

this is dope! also, i dig your accent

[@MomciloUzunovic]

GIrl, you are so freaking awesome! I love your content!

[@Burstimo]

Thanks!

[@AbhayBedi]

Great information and i have even seen you guys doing so good ! I'm so much inspired by you guys . I have a KZbin channel for last 10 years but nothing i made has gone spectacularly viral

[@Xylex]

Mannnn I love your content so muchhhh

[@DeanLondonSwift]

This video actually helped. I was at a roadblock. Shout out 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@Stacity]

Thank you Maddie

[@damarezcurtis]

Love it!

[@peelarat9578]

Great info..

[@tombradleyjr.3990]

I wanted to ask, do you have any tips for going live on facebook, instagram or youtube?

[@brittanyrose2187]

Just came from @giorgioaustin Instagram story. Love him so much! ❤️❤️

[@Burstimo]

He's amazing!

[@PedroMatsuda]

Love to see u drinking the tea 🍃

[@imjerryjacks]

Helpful 🙏🏾

[@AndreMusic2000]

I loved the video. I am singer-songwriter and the thing that scares me about creating such content on say tiktok or Instagram is coming out as being cringey. I still wanna have genuine interactive experiences with those who listen to my music and also tell my story behind my songs. What would you guys suggest I should do?

[@Dtachedkid]

Chill vibe

[@Burstimo]

That's the aim with this one 😎

[@Dtachedkid]

Burstimo love it lol

[@MaxEgoThePrince]

💯

[@stephenpliska2111]

Ah fuck yeah, tea!

[@nerdnasty6628]

I recently discovered the heavy EDM artist CRWTH (yt channel CRWTHTV) and he absolutely nails it on content. I discovered him looking up tutorials and I was immediately engaged in all of his different socials, which has not happened with any other smaller youtube musician for me. He seems to do everything himself, from (obviously) music production to graphics and 3D modeling. He even creates soundbanks for other artists to use. I think you should check him out if you want a really good example of how to self-start, especially with EDM.

[@sherada73]

Good content maam

[@stestetsonmusic]

How do we get to work with you guys directly

[@JaeDisemba]

Me and my friend couldn’t go to the studio and see each other as we’re all in lockdown. So we made a ‘quarantine back-to-back freestyle video’. Just dropped it on my channel a few hours ago... maybe this is good content? I don’t know. I’m just starting out 😬👀

[@monk7847]

I have that exact mug, they are great

[@Burstimo]

This is true

[@lucidfrequency]

XL content XL tea cup...awesome video

[@CrystalCasinoBand]

Love the neon skull in the back! Is that a new addition?

[@Burstimo]

Pretty new yeah!

[@demongroovemusic]

The first video had a guy with a nice smile and a positive vibe and he is a musician dancing because that's popular on TikTok. That's enough to get followers, I believe.

[@exoverseinterdimensional3722]

I'm not enjoying life enough to do that sort of thing. Thanks for the help though.

[@jordanfiction]

That skull thing is siiiiick

[@godsbread7892]

Omg I have negative asmr and I wana die when you dipped it coffee

[@thesuncollective1475]

Crikey Blanks work hard...think I'll stick to hobbying..seriously just checked him out its light pop done well..good luck to him..he has made it all on his own.

[@Burstimo]

He's smashing it! Grown so much in the past year too

[@avlissoficial]

Forgot to ask: what’s the song you used on your outro? Pls

[@Burstimo]

HANNIE - 5 Years They've got some amazing tracks as well as content!

[@avlissoficial]

Burstimo thank you 🤗

[@piotr803]

Please please make a video on how to get sync deals! :)

[@Burstimo]

Sure thing!

[@arshenic]

Hi, I have a question for you. Our bands instagram account has over 13,5 k followers, but we have problem with making it official. Sending a picture of what kinda document can surely make insta make us it an official account??

[@Burstimo]

Followers don't always mean getting verified. You can only get verified if it's proven there are other accounts pretending to be you, you have press coverage surrounding your name, you receive a certain amount of DMs etc. I wouldn't get too hung up on it though. Focus on the engagement and the fans

[@arshenic]

Thank you for your response I appriciete it. We are focusing on engagement, we talk to our fans through DM's, repost and save all support people give us, coz we are so grateful for it. Insta is the tool that got us signed and played all around the world, so we spend lots of time on it. Though, there are band accounts with less followers, engagement and lets, say recognition - and they got the blue label. That's why I'm asking is there some way we haven't think of?? cheers @arshenic_official

[@EvanMiles]

a video on brand collabs for artists pls

[@Burstimo]

Already done! Not many views so didn't think anyone would want another 😬

[@EvanMiles]

@@Burstimo my bad sorry 😅 loving the channel ❤️

[@julianholmanaudio4807]

I like the idea of making content that drags fans to other platforms, that makes perfect sense. Would you say that this strategy probably takes the most time as people don't generally like to move over to other platforms?

[@Burstimo]

I'd say it's the strongest strategy as it means you're not putting all your eggs in one basket and you can populate all the social channels with content with ease, rather than having to create separate content for each

[@julianholmanaudio4807]

@@Burstimo This is very true, and I guess the content is different enough to remain engaging!

[@TheBATTranceMusic]

Great video. It caught my attention. I make uplifting trance music. I'm just not there yet I guess.

[@MelLanzieri]

Can you rename this video with updated info?

[@VictoriaSt.Louis101]

It’s like you guys read my mind...I LITERALLY searched for content ideas on KZbin. What happened to the last video you guys had; why did you take it down?

this is all very well for all the hip young things but what about us boomers....gen x....we are to old to know what tic toc is...who wants to see my old mush over snapgram or what it is? but yes gen x is still producing credible music...but we are from a different time...no internet...no phones nothing...we had many great music programes on tv nightly...we had a capitive music press,we had to invest time and money in to bands...not like today u pick and choose what u buy...or just listen to for free....we had to buy albums...if it were crap we have a crap album or give it away!!we had to go to see live bands by time i was 16 i was out 7 nights a week taking a chance on live music id stay the whole evening and watch all the bands on the bill i saw a support band once in a small venue in birmingham 2 years later they became the biggest band on the planet...nirvana...it was the only way to see bands...how many here go see their mates band then leave without checking other bands?...anyway my point being what about us old boomer bands that still produce credible music yet we dont really understand this social media thing as who wants to see that!! how do we do it what do we do??we are not on fleek...point or what ever....it works for you...but maybe not us!!
