Best music channel on KZbin

[@kahlipso2143]

this channel is so sick, i’ve been making music for 4 years and have been focused on the music so much and hardly about the marketing side of it. i’m constantly making checklists and now i can aim in the right direction. keep it up!

[@AustinWestbro]

This video was great! I definitely want to keep seeing more meat and potatoes type videos like this where you actually show your screen and your spreadsheets and all of that... and those books! Definitely adding them to my reading list. As someone who’s never been organized and trying to become an organized person, this all helps tremendously!

[@Musformation]

Thats great to hear since I definitely want to do more of these.

[@RaineChristian]

Thank you for the golden content you post 🙏🏼

[@Musformation]

Appreciate that

[@xiixlix]

Flowers! This playlist is all gems, sir. And, each time you spotlight a band, I go get some of that inspiration. You deserve a grammy for "BEST NEW ARTIST TRAINING INFLUENCER". Yeh, I know it's not a category. But, I can dream. Flowers!

[@ElliotBrownJingles]

Another helpful and succinct video! Thanks also for the recommendation of The Organized Mind and The Checklist Manifesto. I have just chewed through Atomic Habits and was looking for the next book to add to the menu.

[@Quintopia1]

You are for real the goat. Buying your book

[@hannahdanilova4094]

Nice video, Jesse 👍thank you for the recommendation of the book The Organized Mind) began reading. And thanks for the excel file, I’m a bit changed my version I usually use. some crucial things one might include: pre release and after release promotion - media, radio email blast or work with publicist, registration at Copyright office and PRO, adv campaigns on socials

[@Musformation]

Hannah Danilova solid points!

[@BrickAndMortar]

[@JdRapss]

[@nickray315]

We are trying a slightly simpler version of your release method minus a lyric video, but with a teaser giving 2 weeks for each content to be pushed.

[@ALWZSNNY]

Great excel sheet!!

[@Musformation]

😎 Much appreciated!

[@Jxmxrquis]

Yes 💯

[@rodee1671]

Finding the checklist when I remember to use it is my struggle.

[@Musformation]

lol

[@angelicagrady9270]

Ok, so this video has seriously saved my ass, and I've already started working on my checklist, which I love! But I'm curious what could I say on social media posts after the lyric video is released other than announcing that it's out without sounding repetitive? 😓

[@jeffabbott9505]

I can't remember if you talked about this already, but I've been looking back for it through your videos, what is the vertical/wide screen ig psts? is it just the single screen? & why the two formats

[@zionherbert]

Thank you

[@arieproductions2704]

Hey Jesse I have a question. When you say post vertical clip / wide clip on Instagram, do you mean a shorter clip of the whole song wihh artwork, or the whole song with artwork? And another question, do you not share these clips for IG in the initial 3 posts, or would you use those posts to share other media? Cheers!

[@DreadPitt]

The best to do this

[@fakedad916]

Do you have any sort of formula you follow as far as the social media posts you do after releasing the song, lyric video, and music video? I see that you have boxes for 3 posts for each. I took notes from your most recent video, and you explained that you typically have the first post be a strong image or album artwork and then another image with a brief story/message to listeners. Then you show the 2nd post to be a clip from a single screen YT video. What about the 3rd post? Another strong image/story related to the song?

[@Musformation]

Yes the third will be behind the scenes or another story. All depends on your tone and personality. Did you watch the video on social media that gets into it more How To Use Social Media To Take You From 0 - 10,000 Fans kzbin.info/aero/PL0i-5Ujnd4VWoYxKgrcnTvosVVJqNm3je

[@bjornark]

Good advice, but how do you promote your track SoMe without being banned? Most of these channels consider self-promotion as spam in my experience. Or I just haven't found the right place yet. Other than that, great videos sir!

[@TheOpenJam]

Jesse, it's probably a little bit of a dumb question but, what's a "single screen youtube video"? Just a video with the song, some image of the artist / song art and no special content?

[@Musformation]

Yes

[@VividJay]

Do they have THOTS in Outerspace LOL . Great video !

[@camandrew206]

So you don't do any promotion until the song is released?

[@Musformation]

That’s correct I save every bit of content around the song for discussion around it that people who now can relate to it can bond with

[@camandrew206]

Musformation but don’t you want to promote pre-saves?

[@Musformation]

Spotify has apparently recognized this and now weighs follows more than pre saves. Follows is what’s important if you read all of Spotify’s literature they fully ignore pre saves and talk about follows

[@camandrew206]

Musformation good to know. Thanks for the knowledge

[@pikachu-hs5zz]

How exactly do I claim a screen video through Audiam?

[@alibra2878]

I know lyric video. I know music video. What is a screen video?

[@Musformation]

Single screen video. Like just the image of your album cover.

[@SimonGilman]

What's a screen video?

[@Musformation]

Single screen video like 1 frame

[@SimonGilman]

@@Musformation So I release a song with the Artwork... 2 weeks later the lyrics video and then 2 weeks after, the full production music video. I guess Instagram is the best place to start? I don't have a following yet.
