I released my LP in 2019. I share in stories. Reels. I do funny skits to market my old content to new people. Thank you Damian. Not taking my self so serious has really helped. Now it's working.
Released this one last week with my band. Did a few Tiktoks/Reels and a Facebook ad campaign but it basically got no plays anyway. This video really opened my eyes to quite a few mistakes that I've been making. Thank you Damian for the amazing help as always! th-cam.com/video/pQRagIaVShk/w-d-xo.html
Number 7 is something i asked on live session roughly a month ago. I asked what to expect and any advice. You suggested Send press Release and when they ask questions respond with "that reminds me of..." to lead the interview instead. That by the way was really helpful! Because of that they liked me a lot and someone in the station offered me an opener act for someone who was introduced on bbc before this Sunday which is actually the first gig in my career :) Thanks Damo!
@@dareyes3366 back when they said they wanted to interview me i sent them a press release so they know what kind of questions they should be asking and stuff. And no awkward 'where are you from', and 'what is your favourite colour' time-waster questions.
@@dareyes3366 but in general you send press releases to well just magazine people and press people in general. Press releases about your upcoming release, album, single and so on.
So valuable, thanks for sharing all your knowledge\experience, to such a detailed extend, it shows, that you are truly trying to help others in a non selfish way.
Hey Damian, I've watched a lot of your stuff and it's always so beneficial and interesting, just wanted to say thank you I suppose for giving us all the guidance and tips that you do
When I look at myself as a musical persona, I have been the most introverted guy ever. I dont know anyone in the music industry and I have no idea how to release something or where to begin meeting with people that are in this line of work. Your videos make great points and Im glad that I found you. Cheers!
Thanks Damo, this was really helpful and I'll take it to heart. It really is a big issue for me not to "annoy" people by spamming them. I'll try it on TikTok first cause there I feel more confident since I don't have followers who actually know me hehe
Thanks again bro, some great advice. I remember the days of thinking that recording the music was the majority of work! The process is fun though, can be a little frustrating, but fun! Number 3 and 4 were great. I think ads are one of the only way to reach more people... then the question is how to deliver a successful ad... 'this hole just seems to never end'... that's actually some lyrics from my new song Madness! ;)
Thank you so much for all the wonderful advice you give. I'm not only speaking for myself when I say that all the hard work you put in regularly is noticed and very appreciated 😄
Any musician wanting to take their career to the next level needs you in their life. Thank you for every single difference your advice has made in my music career! Here's to you, you raise me up to more than I can be 🥂
Thanks for the video. I am recording a few tracks in the studio now and recording content to release prior to the songs’ releases to build up hype to friends and family… and maybe 4 or 5 fans. Do you think it will be cringey that I am wearing a winter coat in the pre-release video when the release may wind up in August?
You are literally putting out some of the most immediately applicable advice. I have used so much of your advice which has truly helped launch my career over the last year. Thank you and you are making a difference🙏🏾
I don't say this lightly but this has to be the best informal video on navigating muzic row independently and have seen a lot of them. Good Vidja Thanks
Hey Damian, thank you for the great tips again! Do you know if there's a point where it's just too late for a track? For instance if you try to bring back to life a song on youtube or Spotify months after its release, is there no chance to spike the algorithm and get on Discover Weekly for example?
I think when a song is newer it’s easier to get it on playlists, but it’s definitely doable further down the line, you just need a lot of data going through. But more importantly, you’re building your fanbase 😊😊
The big area I have struggled with is the AI/algorithms and policies from both Google and Facebook. I did a song and video several years ago about the state of the world. It had scenes from news stories - nothing distressing etc. TH-cam and face book about a year later deemed it was promoting violence and my accounts got red flagged. Ever since then I have been demoted in my videos across most platforms. The last time because they deemed I was promoting sex work, when it was just me by a bed with a guitar. Google have pulled my adverts/campaigns and I always have to appeal, which I win, but by that time, the release window has moved on. Any suggestions on promotions, reach organic engagement in the age of AI and google policies? Huge thanks (Always enjoy your content)
Have you had a release that hasn't done as well as you'd like? Post it here so we can all start listening and let's reignite these releases :)
My newest video dropped yesterday. REVIVE ME WHILE THERES STILL TIME

So glad to help! This is amazing to read ❤️
Interesting! What kind of press release? And who do you send it to?

@SamSeb Kierkegaard what do you mean when you say you lead with "that reminds me of.." as in what context
Thanks Damo, Just been watching the new TikTok course in DKMBA, i cant wait to make a start
Using the song in all those initiatives you speak of is a wise move.
So valuable, thanks for sharing all your knowledge\experience, to such a detailed extend, it shows, that you are truly trying to help others in a non selfish way.
Thank you for telling me the information directly bro!
I NEEDED IT SO MUCH! I AM GONNA REALISE MY SONG AT 29.3 (DOING THE 22 DAYS STRATEGY ALSO ) WITH THIS ONE - YOU THE MAN !

Currently going through this, I’m an upcoming artist and my video was doing decent at first, now it’s just drying up 😩😪 thanks for the advice! 🙏🏽

Yeah it’s deffo harder when you have lots of people you know on your socials!
Great material, as usual. Thanks for taking the time to do these.
Glad to help 😊😊

@@DamianKeyes thank you 😄
In conclusion do what you want and be creative with it ;)
In regards to step 3 could you tell us some ways on how to add value before directing them to the song?
Perform your music, engage with people, create great content - just not constant promotion 😊
I like to think of it as the 80/20 rule, 80% value, 20% promotion
Thanks
Love your Coldplay jokes😂
😂😂😂
Mr Keyes we have a couple of questions
When you drop the micro content, do you post them on those platforms at the same time? Or do you stagger it?
The big area I have struggled with is the AI/algorithms and policies from both Google and Facebook.
I did a song and video several years ago about the state of the world. It had scenes from news stories - nothing distressing etc. TH-cam and face book about a year later deemed it was promoting violence and my accounts got red flagged. Ever since then I have been demoted in my videos across most platforms. The last time because they deemed I was promoting sex work, when it was just me by a bed with a guitar. Google have pulled my adverts/campaigns and I always have to appeal, which I win, but by that time, the release window has moved on.
Any suggestions on promotions, reach organic engagement in the age of AI and google policies?
Huge thanks
(Always enjoy your content)
hold on, hit the Coldplay shade
Yessirrrr
💪💪💪
Facebook has Reels now too 🚀
💪💪💪
After a good start, our two last videolyrics are getting poor views.
I personally don’t use TikTok, why trade my privacy and information for music streams?
This one is my favourite from your videos Damiân. BTW, that's a latin name, got some latin/spanish roots?
I love the hatred for Coldplay 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol the best part is I do like Coldplay!
@@DamianKeyes I always wondered that 🤣
Can I send you my song and you help me with TikTok ideas?
I'm a simple man: seeing Damian's new video - pressing the thumb up. Always a great, inspiring content. Thanks a lot!
Dude too kind 😊😊😊
Coldplay fans will hate this video
Bro I do everything you say and I only get 500 views max
Why he so cold play like that😂😭
People hate on coldplay but love the beetles... That's way worse.
