Musician’s Twitter Follow Friday Suggestions April 23 2010
For the tweet savvy musician, #FollowFriday is a great tool to spread the word about those who offer quality tweets for today’s musicians.
Here are this Friday’s #FF suggestions to improve your “know how” in today’s music industry.
Being Yourself vs. Image
Is being yourself making you the most money? There comes a time when musicians need to think about their careers from a business standpoint… hopefully far earlier than me needing to point that out.
As a public figure, a musician is always under the microscope. It comes with the territory, and the bigger you become, the more microscopes involved. How you present yourself to the world affects how easily your accepted into a potential fan’s sphere of influence.
Genre Marketing
Answering the following question used to be fairly simple:
“Oh, you’re a musician? What kind of music do you play?
“Rock.”
“Oh, cool”
…or…
“Oh, you’re a musician? What kind of music do you play?
“I rap.”
“Oh, cool”
You get the idea. It’s a simple question and answer that many musicians get all the time. Almost guaranteed to happen the first time someone meets you and realizes you have music to offer, it’s practically automatic.
It’s the equivalent to being asked “How are you doing today?” and answering “Good, thanks.”. You may be far from “good”, but it’s your automated response 99% of the time.
They ask, you answer, now they know.
That’s the format for introducing yourself and your music.
I say that isn’t good enough.
I say that’s a missed opportunity to market your music. I suggest you adopt a new format immediately.
