Tonight's movie & popcorn! My plan is to continue recording my new album throughout the months...and release each one w/ the previous piggybacked until the whole shebang is released (the waterfall thingy). Why do an album when singles are THE thing? As a children's music artist, I've learned that reviewers for blogs, websites, journals, award organizations, libraries, parent groups, etc. don't waste their time reviewing singles. Albums are what they want, and I'm due for a new one. So the waterfall method, from what I see, brings the best of both worlds--steady stream of singles topped off with an album I can submit for reviews. Debate and other perspectives are welcome on this comment. And thanks for another great vide, Damian!

It would be really good if you could do some sort of a ‘strategy’ video for people starting from scratch. No fanbase, no followers, no socials, no releases etc. How do you really get going and get started in the first place? I mean I’ve got my singles ready for release and have my first release in a few weeks and started my KZbin channel a couple of weeks ago, posting daily content, trying to implement the strategies, but is there any specific advice for people right at the start?
@ninodani610 ай бұрын
If you need an advice , all these things said in the video are important, but they wont make you have thousands or views and streams. Lately i had a deal with a record label and they told me to "invest" on Spotify mostly and the only way to have a well done marketing for your songs are Ads (ignore this guy telling to avoid Ads). Ads are the only way, investing money on Conversion Ads is the only way unfortunately . I'd say 800$ for Spotify Ads and 200$ for KZbin ads would be best to promote 1 song. Most of these things "presaves,press etc" are all bullshit. These work only when you already have some wide fanbase ,but if you're new in the industry this wont work.
@TheO.O.10 ай бұрын
@@ninodani6 hmm I think it all depends on what you’re trying to achieve. If you simply want thousands of streams then it’s easy to chuck money at it and achieve that. But if it’s thousands of streams from people who hear your song once through an ad then what good is it really? Surely it’s a lot better to get hundreds of streams from people who go to your music because they’re genuinely interested and want to listen? Yeah you could pay a load of money, get your thousands of streams and get your £50 from Spotify. Or you could slowly and steadily get your name out there through regularly posting content, music blogs, social media shoutouts, collaborations with other artists, and very gradually build a fanbase of people who keep coming back for more. A fanbase that will eventually buy merch and tickets to live gigs. Meaning you could then sell 5 t shirts and make £50, and 20 tickets to a gig and make £200, and you’ve already made 5 times the money you’d have got from your instant thousands of Spotify streams. I’m very early days in my journey, my release date is next Friday, and I’ve been posting daily KZbin shorts. In 19 shorts I’ve gained 21 subscribers, which in my view is a success. It’s 21 people who liked what they heard/saw enough to want to come back for more, and I haven’t even released a song yet. It’s not groundbreaking progress, but it’s slow, steady and genuine progress. So I’m happy

Doing all this is a very very slow way (if you wanna become a "Rockstar) and also its still not granted that you'll become one day. + people nowdays want to see a good quality content , which needs a good eqipment , good visuals and good audio and a lot of free time. So in poor words all this thing needs money in general, if you wanna have some good content , or a professional mix&master and a photoshoot or music video. These things told at the video will take you at a certain point , but they wont make you part of the "Professional League" and millions of fans, after doing all of the things you said before you'll still need a looot of money to push yourself to the "Professional League" .

Great video, packed with valuable insights! I wanted to add some thoughts that might be helpful to the community. First, regarding release days, consider Wednesdays or Thursdays instead of the popular Friday. With so many artists, including big names, dropping new music on Fridays, smaller bands with limited budgets can get lost in the noise. A quieter day allows for better exposure and potentially higher conversion rates. I've also observed steeper engagement declines on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays after Friday releases, whereas mid-week releases tend to see a more gradual drop-off. Second, targeting audiences in upcoming tour locations can be highly effective for boosting concert attendance and merchandise sales. Third, while I'm a fan of content batching, consider doing it well before the promotional period. Creating behind-the-scenes content like songwriting, recording, production, and photoshoots can be very engaging and scheduled for release ahead of time. This frees up the artist to focus on fan engagement during promotion. Finally, I like to optimize the "link in bio" using it to re-direct to the "Artist's pick" playlist with the new release as the first song and the rest with all the songs in the artist's catalog. This keeps listeners within your catalog when the promoted song finishes, potentially increasing plays for other tracks. This idea comes from observing people behavior using streaming, Most people are not active on the platform because they're doing other activities while listening to the music and the automatic "go to the next song" can work in the artist's favour. But these are just my thoughts, and I may be wrong, but I hope they spark additional ideas for upcoming artists.

Ciao amico mio, I've read your post and have checked out the deaf autumn channel. Mad props to your success, man. I do see a few things... first, compared to your real "diy" vids (which pull a few hundred views), your "official" music videos got some mad views, which tells me that those vids were campaigned, but at what cost? and more importantly, at what ROI? Point is, for a channel that has been around for 10yrs with a little over 1k subscribers and your last vid was dropped a year ago, it tells me your "everyday struggle" is that you are trying to manufacture an audience by spending a lot of money making great looking content. Perhaps take a step back and look at the whole arc of your music project. And consider this point of the journey the accumulation phase. You are not trying for the reach, right now. In fact, like Damian says, you're setting the place for when the party hits. Keep making great content. I subscribed. And don't break the bank! Ciao.

This is an amazing video. Thank you so much Damien for all your expertise, your insights and your knowledge. Evidently there is a lot of stuff in here to cover, but at least now I know where I'm going or what I'm getting into! I'm wondering if in the Academy there is personalize coaching?

Thank you Damian! Love this 20 day plan, so much condensed 🙌🏽 Do you have any other video on how long to promote after the 10 days if you see your content or song hasn’t done well? Like when do you move on to the next single? I’ve promoted a song for 45 days straight, posting 3 times a day and only got 500 streams for it. So trying to understand the best method of when to give up on the song and move on to the next?
@DamianKeyes11 ай бұрын
I can start working on a YT video about bringing a song back to life or building a song that hasn't moved the needle.. Leave it with me and I will start working on this with a few others over the next few weeks. Appreciate you 🙂🙂

20 minutes in and great stuff again Damian. Question, this plan is for those that plan on releasing independently, correct? As a DJ/Producer that’s been on hiatus for 3 years with only 2 past singles, would you recommend releasing independently right now? Thanks for all you do for the music community brother!
@DamianKeyes9 ай бұрын
I really appreciate that, thanks dude. I would recommend independently unless there are other options on the table I'm not against labels however the most important thing is that you are building momentum and not waiting. You have the control to build using the music and socials etc and hopefully this helps 🙂🙂 Thanks mate, very kind of you, keep smashing it!

Hi Damian! I just started watching your videos to make my music career amazing, and it's super helpful for me. I'm just wondering how many of your fans (Musicians ) have told you they make their lives epic by using your methods. I know this question would be too advanced 🙄But, no offense. I'm thinking about it seriously. I'd be happy if I could hear your opinion 😌💗
