Social Media Growth for Musicians

Instagram can be a powerful tool to grow your music career

Instagram is a powerful tool to grow your music career. It’s the perfect place to share your music with fans and connect with other musicians. If you want to be successful on the platform, it’s important that you establish goals for yourself so that you can stay organized and motivated. We will talk about a few ways that Instagram can help your career:

• Share Your Music With Fans

• Connect With Other Musicians

• Share Your Music Videos/Content On The Platform

   

Followers

Followers are one of the most important things for you to have in your music career. The more followers you have, the more people will see your posts and gain interest in your music. This means that they’ll be able to find out about new songs that you’ve written, gigs or shows coming up, and even buy tickets or merchandise when they hear about them!

To get more followers:

• Post regularly so that people know when to expect a new post from you

• Post quality content (don’t just post a selfie, even though you’re beautiful)

   

Hashtags

One of the best ways to grow your audience and gain exposure is by using hashtags. Hashtags are a great way to get your music out there and build relationships with other artists. When you use hashtags, people can find your music through search engines such as Google or Instagram. You can also use hashtags to connect with other musicians who share similar interests as you do to help grow each other’s fan bases.

Like and comment

• Comment on other people’s posts. If you like their music “comment” on one of their posts. This is an easy way to promote yourself while helping out others in your niche!

• Like other people’s content that has a similar genre to yours, even if it doesn’t directly relate to what you do (e.g., if you liked a post about painting because you’re still looking for inspiration for your new album artwork). The more effortless likes/comments you do without any expectation of reciprocity (in this case, following), the better off we all are when it comes to growth!

   

Engage with your followers

There are several ways to engage with your followers, including asking questions and getting feedback. You can also share your content on Instagram Reels and Stories, go on IG live, stick your neck out, and do whatever you can to get the most out of social media. Try to post relevant content that is of interest to your audience to not be, well, boring.

Giveaways and other growth hacks

You can also grow your following by running giveaways. Giveaways are a great way to engage with your followers, drive traffic back to your site or music page, and build an email list. Giveaways can include any of the following:

• A repost of one of their photos, videos, or blog posts

• A post announcing a new single/song being released soon (this can also serve as an announcement for pre-orders)

• An exclusive song only available to those who enter the giveaway

If you’re really ambitious and have lots of time on your hands, you could even run multiple giveaways at once in different locations and languages!

Quality content

Consistently posting quality content is the most important part of growing your following on social media. The audience expects you to deliver something that they will enjoy and feel rewarded by, be it funny, interesting, or engaging content.

If you’re not already posting consistently, now is the time to get on this bandwagon. If you do it right most of your followers will follow your lead and soon become fans!
