[@hiphopheadsphotographymas1790]

Thank you! Good info.

[@djicebreaker80]

Congratulations to the organising event & Great tips, great advice , I have my upcoming events in small venue & same process as doing it on social media like Facebook & KZbin etc

[@MACKAVON]

Glad I found this channel, you have amazing content man

[@robertmisovic3514]

Can't even imagine what you could have done with professional design and video production..

[@johnny96888]

Brandman I love this video and it has very good info. However, I was wondering if you could a make a video about finding venues. Like what kind venue you used, where it's at, how to talk to the owners of the venue, and how to pick a venue.

[@AnamCara]

Cheers for the vid dude! 🤘

[@LWilliamsss]

This was great. Thanks Sean

[@vallenteen]

Congratulations for the well organised event! Can't wait for the next videos on this topic :D By the way, I have a questoin: HOW TO precisely target your your demographic, your niche, on social media? For instance, how and where do I find people between 15-25 who listen to lo-fi genres and are insterested in anime, say, on facebook? And how do I lead them to my personal facebook page, or to my other social media profiles? Or any kind of demographic, I just used this as a concrete example :) Thanks in advance, bro!

[@salah3249]

you go to a post that has lofi and anime you click on people that liked that post and you send them DM'S

[@Malik_Hoff]

Thank you Brand man

[@ENLartstudio]

Do you have any videos on how to fund the event?

[@UniversityOMinecraft]

Drug dealers

[@samdeutsch4949]

If you still need help try selling tickets first to get the funding, sorry that I’m two years late.

[@vinylcultureshorts]

1. Look at Grants etc. provided by your government. 2. Sponsorships from local businesses. 3. Public funding 4. Merch/ Pre-Sale

[@saxfieldchatmon2495]

Bro you're going to blow up Just like metro, keep the great content coming, especially coming from ATL theres too much opportunity for you.

[@arshiar.9592]

Great Vid

[@blaxicanafest]

Great video! That’s so much for the tips!

[@johnny96888]

Dear, Sean I really love this video it has been so helpful in my promoting process. However, I was wondering how do you go about promoting for weekly event on IG and how often would you post for the event. For example I am hosting a meetup event at a local bar. The theme is a funk DJ that plays on Wednesday evenings. I've been posting memes and pictures of events, let me know what you think and thank you!

[@gioortiz7496]

Hey Brandman, Im an upcoming artist and right now i have a bit over 70k plays on my soundcloud, however I feel like my fan base and I aren't really in touch. Any advice on how to develop a cult like following and/or get soundcloud listeners to also follow instagram/twitter

[@ElishaJancik]

Great info!

[@Malik_Hoff]

ayyy i def wanna do art for your next event bro

[@chiakayanda969]

But doesn't using an established brand like Adventure Time to market your event bring up issues in copyright and trademarking when it's not affiliated with the original brand?

[@harveyl4191]

The whole video was literally based on ripping other peoples art and work. I'm shocked tbh. Other peoples Artwork, Music Videos, Memes etc

[@mikedolla5612]

Thanks for these GREAT tips and advice. You really break things down and give awesome examples. #SALUTE #MikeDolla #LCAOME

[@thegoldenbowl5217]

Dude you're a genius

[@DavidIsaiasCruz]

What jobs should a team consist of course an artist but what else camera guy is that necessary ?

[@MissTia777]

My own festival??? Nope! Too much work!

[@JonnyBDope]

damn nigga u was just AT 400 followers, good job LOL

[@TearitoffE]

I got food and bathroom connections

[@mark3dward21]

Need help on that sponsorship package.

[@trevorrice1090]

I have a real estate event every monday that's free. Any thoughts?

[@VIVAthemusicboxTV]

Nice👍

[@johanperez1782]

What's that song

[@factopolis7752]

You're a fucking legend!!!

[@hardsabhaya6716]

How do you sell alcohol, do you contract a caterer or let the venue handle it or handle it in house?

[@BrandmanNetwork]

Let the venue handle it or bring in 3rd party vendors. I'm sure that's a great opportunity for profit but starting out it's easier to let someone else manage that risk

[@MorrisLiveProductions]

Bro, Major bombs dropped, but i m slow please help!!

[@MisterGoodDad]

did you already plan for the event to have 1000+ people, or it gradually got bigger as you promoted? If I'm just getting into event hosting, is 1000 people attending too high of a goal to shoot for? talent show type stuff

[@MisterGoodDad]

Brandman SeanTaylor one night one time thing. and man I really appreciate you taking the time to answer this..

[@MisterGoodDad]

dude thanks for following up! I have not had the event yet. 1.)Open Mic 2.)Yes- 1st place $100 (small but only $5 to enter though...) 2.)18+ 3.)Hip Hop & R/B

[@dacker5217]

***TIP - NEVER take advice from a dude who promotes by saying - Here's how me and some of my "HOMIES" did it! Lol***

[@groovemachine9473]

@@SohoJoe202 I'll get right on that there internet tough guy ;)

[@ynotbutcher1891]

[@bamtheartiste6036]

[@ucywofficial137]

Anyone interested in throwing a music festival, reach out to me. I’m forming a team of hungry Individuals who are ready to be an exclusive music festival.

[@kredsentertainment9554]

Hey what type of music?

[@gprimee3545]

Still available?

[@FlyingFez]

hiring entertainers?

[@variancewithin]

But that's not even your brand... That's a large television show. That's why there's trademarks and copyright

[@oliverguy3121]

How much are you paying artists for a festival of this size as a percentage of the total budget?

[@BrandmanNetwork]

I paid artists zero at the time.i created a bigger platform than all of them than they had for themselves

[@Wandontrap]

Hey im Working On My Own Fest And This Video Gave Me A Good Feeling. Is There A Email I Can Reach You At

[@devinronready7671]

Dude can you contact me? i have an event and I am not having to much success. Help! haha
