Another thing this stream made me realize is the tendency indie artists have to want to just flex all the time-- but how that can be at odds with just presenting what you actually bring to the table and have to offer for a potential new fan who is curious enough to have stumbled onto your page.
Thanks for the feedback Jesse. This was really helpful not just to see my own page reviewed but also other indie artists, and seeing what common tendencies/differences we have. I Was able to make some good changes to my artist pages/profiles on a few different sites thanks to this. One thing I'm realizing is the balance between having a consistent voice across all platforms, while tailoring/ hitting the nuances of each specific platform.
Hey, I loved this comment, it's refreshing to see how open you are to learning and improving your approach to managing your artist pages across different platforms. The balance between maintaining a consistent voice and adapting to each platform's nuances is indeed a crucial aspect I’m researching about. I’d love to buy you some lunch over a phone call to discuss more about this, your recent changes, and how you're navigating the world of indie music. Your insights could be very valuable!
Thank you, I am taking a hard look at my IG now. I'm still pushing through the post burn out, and most of this is still overwhelming, but your books, this channel, and guys like Matt Bacon give me hope, and I'm feeling inspired! Also - I had the fortune of playing with Kosmodemonic in Brooklyn many years ago; a great band and solid dudes.
Hey, I loved this comment, it's inspiring to hear about your perseverance and how resources like this channel and others are helping you push through the challenges.

I’d love to buy you some lunch over a phone call to talk more about your journey, how you're managing your social media presence especially IG, and any insights you have on maintaining momentum in the music industry. Your experience could be incredibly valuable!
I love these videos I've watched them several times there's always something I miss and have to hear again, and every time I rework my instagram it gets better. I'm trying to focus more on being an "artist" on my profile and still let people get to know me.
@@Musformation hey Jesse, been following your content for a while, great content 👍. you are one of the few "TH-camrs" that tell the truth no matter how ugly it is 😂 Anyways I was wondering if you could please provide a 2022 60 days release plan PDF (with the weekly big events) Thanks

Hey Jesse, love your content. I have a question that doesn't necessarily pertain to this video but I've heard you bring it up in the past. You say artists should tell stories around their music via social media posts and song descriptions. What comes to mind about doing this without being redundant - because isn't the music itself telling the story? Or do you believe that a deeper dive into the background and thought process behind the song can be beneficial for establishing that connection with audience?

really don’t understand the hate on link tree? Is there something I’m missing? They both just redirect people to your socials and music. I don’t think linktree looks bad, but I am also not an expert.
Thanks Jesse! I recorded 3 singles and now i want to publish them but i don't know where to start. Can anyone give me advice how to successful start releasing my music. What should be the first step?
I'm currently starting the process myself. The first thing I'm doing is showing those around me. I'm telling them how nervous but excited I am to finally put out this first single of mine. Only a very select few know that I'm releasing more than a single. The rest of my friends and followers know that I'm feeling critical about this song because I'm also showcasing previous snippets I had posted months ago, the song art and it's lyrics, the website I built to share it, and the TH-cam video I made announcing the release. You want to diversify the way you announce this one release to give people different perspectives each time. Then you ultimately just need to be strategic about the order of your song releases and how much time is in between them

It's a healthy combination of aesthetic and functionality. Put all your important platforms on the with style. Koji is dead now but this applies to all of them. Beacons would be my recommendation
Yo Jesse, what’s the best way to train instagram to link your band profile algorithmically with similar artists? Following the same ethos as creating Spotify playlists on your band profile so when people stream those playlists, that algorithm begins to learn those bands are enjoyed together

oh damn, I want to get mine analysed next time lol do you have an email list? I want to submit when there are things to be analysed. sending good vibes, hello :)
I don’t see anywhere on Instagram to add photos on my profile just a text description of me and links and something about so I want to upgrade to a professional account whatever that means.
@@Musformation no I mean you make music for a target audience, meaning a sub culture of people might aswell call it niche. The specific people that are gonna like your specific music. Like guys 20-25 who love indie culture.
Yes I see what you mean better. I actually kinda disagree with that too. But go to my channel page and watch the guide on how to find community. That will give you the answers
Is it cliche to put Los Angeles in my bio if I live in Long Beach, CA? Or is it more interesting to represent Long Beach? I feel like LA is over saturated and lame at this point

yo, i was deadass getting ready to type this lmao "This ain't it chief" lmao
Lol
is there any way to get a spotify pre save link on your landing page instead of having to link to distrokids landing page ?
withkoji....bought by link tree...What do you recommend as a replacement? (my withKoji was dope)
Beacons is pretty clean, I'd definitely recommend it
Can you provide an example of a good Koji profile?
It's a healthy combination of aesthetic and functionality. Put all your important platforms on the with style. Koji is dead now but this applies to all of them. Beacons would be my recommendation
I also think the customized text thing on highlights (BLUNT) is so cringy. Just my opinion though.
Funny how Linktree has aquired Koji now
Watch tomorrows video for more on thay
I totally noticed you weren’t wear *thee* hat too!
Any alternatives to Koji since they’ve been acquired by Linktree?
Beacons.ai
Hey man, how can we submit to get our page reviewed by you?

We do the opposite but this guy is 100% spot on. Maybe that's why we only have 100 views. 🙂
Appreciate That
Koji has been acquired by Linktree
Can’t wait
Is there a reason why people should have a Koji link, rather than a link to their website?!
Watch my video on koji
Thanks!
oh damn, I want to get mine analysed next time lol do you have an email list? I want to submit when there are things to be analysed. sending good vibes, hello :)
would you ever do a video on sync lisc?
🙅🏿♀️ *Linktree*
💁🏿♀️ *Koji*
I don’t see anywhere on Instagram to add photos on my profile just a text description of me and links and something about so I want to upgrade to a professional account whatever that means.
Who would I look for to set this up for me?
Hit up hip music video promo
I'm struggling most with target audience do you have specific videos about this?
I don’t fuck with ads I’d that’s what you mean
@@Musformation no I mean you make music for a target audience, meaning a sub culture of people might aswell call it niche. The specific people that are gonna like your specific music. Like guys 20-25 who love indie culture.

LA brings more kinship since it’s bigger. But LB if your concentrating efforts there would be smart
Is there a way to work with you personally
Thank you Jesse this is awesome! I just revamped our whole Instagram.
am i the only one that saw his search history at 2:15
Big foot, tentacle porn and who killed JFK
Funny how you said Linktree is trash and we should use Koji, yet Koji has officially been acquired by Linktree in February.
Acquired and killed not implemented. They did not take the good features
whats wrong with linktree, someone say
Nothing wrong just can do better
@@Musformation does it do the same thing as koji??? i think that was the other one you mentioned
One of our biggest states, one of our dumbest states 😂
😎
For those watching in 2024, Koji no longer exists because they were acquired by Linktree
linktree bought koji lol
Yep I have an updated video on it
koji it's dead by now
How do I submit my page for you to check out and critique as well? I am a Lofi Hip Hop vibe Costa Rica 🇨🇷 based artist
