Social media users have short attention spans; we all do. This is the age of immediate gratification. They want every tweet, every gram post, every status to be a hit, no misses and that\u2019s pretty hard to do. Your goal as a social media user is to engage followers, prove your content is worth following and once they\u2019re committed to you, they\u2019ll help spread the word on your behalf. 20% Ideally only around 20% of your content should be about your brand Generally, brands and musicians\u00a0should be\u00a0totally fine with this bit. Share your videos, share your music, your upcoming gigs and merchandise but if you can, make the call-to-action beneficial to your followers.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><a href=\"http:\/\/imperialmediadesign.com\/product\/music-distribution-no-marketing\/?v=7516fd43adaa\">If you\u2019ve got a new music video out that you want people to share<\/a>, why not offer a copy of your CD or a t-shirt to one lucky follower who shares your video. Why not offer a discount on your merchandise to anyone who signs to your mailing list. Building a mailing list is a great way to keep track of your fans, especially when it comes to where they\u2019re based so you know where to book gigs and tour dates. Anytime there\u2019s a call-to-action (share this, like that subscribe here) try to offer an incentive to your followers to do it. What would they like? Why should they do it? What\u2019s in it for them? 80 percent.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Your\u00a0music\u00a0is a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/imperialmediadesign.com\/product\/music-publishing\/?v=7516fd43adaa\">business\u00a0and that\u00a0business\u00a0is a\u00a0brand<\/a>, if it\u2019s not authentic, people will see right through it so let it be a true, natural representation of who you are and what you stand for. Your interests. You have to decide what you want your social media branding to say about you as a musician or as a brand and the people within that brand. What\u2019s important to you? You don\u2019t have to pigeonhole yourself into just one type of content that you share. Social media users can be far too precious about what they discuss. The main thing is to be your authentic self.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Discuss the things that you are genuinely passionate about and be consistent with it. You might want me to tell you what to discuss but if you really want to connect with your audience, talk about the things that you love. Whether it\u2019s movies, science, politics, football or all the above, be yourself be conversational, see what connects with people and try to understand why. And if\u00a0all\u00a0else fails, look at the content that\u2019s shared widely and try to understand why it\u2019s so popular. It\u2019s really easy to fake followers but much harder to fake shares and retweets.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":20317,\"linkDestination\":\"custom\"} -->\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imperialhustle.com\/rapathlete\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23619 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imperialhustle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Rap-Athlete-Banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"145\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\r\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->Look at content that is being shared widely and try\u00a0to understand why it\u2019s been so successful.
