I spent $4000 dollars promoting my song...

[@ballmajormusic]

I PAID a well known artist to post me on his story....God that was the biggest mistake!🤦🏽‍♂️

Bro, legit if I make it, you will be the reason Nic! You and Connor are the reason I have made it this far, and why I feel I have hope!!!

@@TheLionsDen much appreciated! 🫡

[@NuEleven]

Thanks for all the great advice! Independent like you & LaRussell are great because you really share the game & help others. All my Indie artists let’s get to work 💪🏿💪🏿 2024 the year of independence 🏁

[@bryanburnett5514]

Which other independent artist to you go to for advice beside those 2?

[@NuEleven]

@@bryanburnett5514 Russ is good as well for his interviews…honestly Nic D & LaRussell are the only ones who really go in debt about it. They both have books out & release KZbin content about how to develop yourself….when it comes to just music, I like other indie artist like Kota the Friend, Felly, Larry June, Fame & PdotC, etc.

[@NuEleven]

@@bryanburnett5514 also, Nipsey Hussle gave out a lot of good game also 🏁

[@Coltdoesbeats]

@@bryanburnett5514 idk about indie artists but Jesse (Musformation) is pretty great for indies

[@IFechiMusic]

If that influencer audience saw your aong 1 time. That means they had to see it 8 times before thinking of consuming it out of the platform... Thats 4k times 8. Thats what your budged should look like to see something.

[@russellmenez]

So true. I'd rather take that 4k and invest it into music gear or content creation (camera setups, etc.) - whatever can help me stay consistent.

All love bro 🤝

[@mikeanapolsky3524]

Thanks Nic. These videos are hella helpful

[@epiesco3334]

One thing i know is that every influencing or promo content on social media should have unique hashtags and not forgetting to tag or identify the author which is the artist. By so doing, you are able to know exactly how many videos have been done by the influencers and be able to check their performances and statistics same way you're able to see how your personal videos are performing

[@epiesco3334]

Thank you bro. Your videos have been nourishing me since last week when i discovered and got subscribed to your chanel. Sorry for your health. But i know its gonna be well.

[@metacouture]

Thank you for the video. Tracking the streams from influencers is so difficult it is amazing that it is a trend at all. Very sorry about feeling sick. Actual human compassion. I have some stuff I deal with. I try not to get on when I am low energy. And I think you are correct. Momentum is important. Ok. You look ok. I’m going back on. Have a great day and I hope you feel better 🙏 ~ stefan

[@Ellifmusic]

Thank you so much for these videos Nic. They are absolute gem. Teaching is one of your best strengths for sure. You are an inspiration for so many people. Here are some questions and maybe potential video ideas One thing I really wanna hear your opinion is does your genre matter? Do you think there’s a specific genre of music that does best on social media platforms? Every song I create belongs to a different genre so is it best to have different pages for each genre ? Plus I’m bilingual so should I create a different artist page for the other language ? Looking forward to your uploads every day. Thank you for being so consistent 🙏🙏🙏

[@tiffanyonwudinanti]

Good question!!

[@Namelessforever_]

I’d be interested in this too!

[@MotionGifts]

I remember an interview with Connor Price mentioning an artist that releases royalty free music for KZbinrs til this day. I'm not sure if his music was on the KZbin Library

[@jonahreath]

hello Nic, am a big fan. and i got a question. so i am an upcoming artist and i am in the process of collaborating with another independent artist, but the problem is that am using distrokid as my distributor and this other artist is using another distributor, so it will kinda be complicated to how we will do the royalties. and again is it advisable for an artist to have some releases on one distributor and again use another distributor to release other songs. so i dont have enough knowledge on what to do. and again i dont think am fine with paying another distributor since am already subscribed to Distrokid and have many releases under it which i cant stop paying the anually fees for distrokid since my releases would be removed if i stop the payment when the current one expires. thanks

[@epiesco3334]

Hello Jonahreath I'm not too sure but I think what the other artists need is just their email address. Even though they are with a different distributor, what they need to get paid by your own distributor is just their bank account details, which in this case is only their email address since they probably would be using PayPal for withdrawals. As for the second point, I think it's possible to use multiple distributors for your different songs(if you wish.) I do use Tunecore, and two other new distro (Trac and UMIjam). At times a song can be disapproved or rejected by one distributor for their own reasons and approved by another distributor. I'm a living example and I'm speaking out of experience. I use 3 distributors. But I've only subscribed to Tunecore. The rest I use them from the unpaid plan

[@Big_Tough_Guy]

I need to quit music. It's destroying my life. With the genre I play, I will never make enough money to even support myself, let alone improve my quality of life. I might look into doing soundtracks or writing for people who are actually performers. I need to give up the dream of making some classic album and being one of the cool kids.

[@frdiforartists]

If music makes you happy don’t stop

[@Big_Tough_Guy]

@@frdiforartists Thanks dude. Yeah, that's really what it is all about. I would decay if I wasn't creating things.

[@kevinescobar6757]

So I’m bilingual and have a mix of Latin music and also English rap songs.. confusing the algorithm is one of my biggest questions I don’t have clarity or direction on.. any advice? Should I do 2 TikTok accounts with the same Spotify? 2 Spotify accounts and 2 TikTok’s? Or should I just yolo it and post under the same everything

[@ChaseMurphy]

And hilariously, that company is prolly boastin the success of your song as if they’re responsible forrit.

[@danlaw1208]

If the song is catchy enough then surely it will blow up with influencers' campaigns

Chances that 4K led people to your posts that went viral possibly being the cause of them going viral?

Do you have to post a TikTok 7 days a week?

[@allwhitebaba]

In my opinion, the more you post the higher the chances.

[@austincelaya1139]

@@allwhitebababut look at someone like Connor who posts once a week…with highly edited videos

[@BigAych]

Its the best thing you can do, keep the quality up tho

[@afineproduction3745]

You're better off putting more effort into your own tiktoks then spending money trying to make other mid tier "influencers" make it blow up. They don't know the vision and story behind a song but the artist does. You, Connor, and many other proved the art goes farther in your own hands.

[@milesgraham7239]

One of my excuses I keep using is that my music doesn’t really suit “trends” or “viral sounds” on tik tok. I’m very hesitant to post videos using my songs because the music I make is slow folk music and I’m worried people will think it’s boring. What do I do???

[@JACKSONPRYORBENNETT]

You might be surprised what people think, they might like it a lot. They can't like it if you don't give em the chance to hear it. Post the song!

[@dizzler-beats]

Can you do a video on facebook/ig(meta) ads? Ive seen a video where you talked about how you ran an ad campaign at the beginning of your career. Making viral Tiktok content like you do is obviously the best way to promote your music, but almost nobody can replicate it, simply because making viral videos in general is so hard to do (or everyone would do it). Thanks alot 🙏
