@@DamianKeyes honestly going live every night this past month has done more for me than making content for a year! I’ve finally found something that works for me
How has it gone in the past year? When you made the I think 60 second required Tik Tok video did you have to do a comical take as it seems you must in order to get attention? I mean do a crazy dance as you sing etc or can you just simply sing? I don't have a band, just myself and guitar and sometimes harmonica too, and piano. I just went to your channel and can't find any of your songs but a lot of vocal training videos. You aren't really a songwriter and performing original songs so the Tik Tok video you created was to attract people into your baritone vocalist lessons? How have Damian's techniques worked for you?
This video has come at just the right time for me. My mindset has finally shifted to where I really am starting to believe in myself, and I’m creating a narrative of what I stand for to share with the world through my music and art. Thank you!
i actually followed your 22 days plan for my last release and man i went on local tv, national radio and many playlists on spotify and i just want to say thank your for dropping the best information possible and yes i also unfollowed all the other people who tells you strategies that hardy ever work !
Genuine questions: How many copies of your release have you sold to date? If you graph your sales per day, what curve does the graph plot? What is the nett profit on your total sales to date i.e. total sales minus sales, distribution, marketing, production and living expenses?
I'm so grateful to have you with me on this journey. Your content and support drives me to continue even on the dark days. Thank you for breaking down these ideas! 🙏
A Personal Tip. Draw a physical diagram of your Audience Funnel. (Or his box example) Write each user's @ and categorize them based on their level of engagement etc
Greta job man, breaking down the process here. Sooo many people have no idea how to do this, and its VERY important now in the post-record label age. Labels did everything for us before, (unfortunately,) and now we need t learn to do it all ourselves. Production no longer costs a ridiculous amount, advertisement doesn't either, booking isn't very hard either. But if you have no clue how to even start, then you will never get there. I really feel like most people just need a starting point and a tiny bit of guidance, just to get them running in the right direction, then If they're dedicated they'll run it the rest of the way. For years I've been looking for the insight that's in this channel, so really, thanks dude you're a credit to the industry!
Gracias Damian! Como cantante en Chile , justo hace unas semanas comencé un nuevo plan de contenido y hacer trending con mi música, y realmente este plan que nos muestras me está ayudando a reforzar, ordenarme y lograr conectar con más personas. Feliz poniendo en practica estas herramientas! 🇨🇱🌎🎵
I'm really grateful for your ideas... Content creation for me is just singing and playing my bass ... I really really wish I was this creative in making content ... I'm way too much invested in producing and recording songs but creating content I need to take this step by step because I know I won't be consistent
I’ve just done my day 1 of this strategy, positing a mini music video as my first TH-cam short! 😬 I’m a brand new indie artist with my debut single set for release on 16th Feb, so I’m going to follow this plan alongside the 23 day release plan, and see what sort of engagement I can get starting from scratch! Wish me luck!
WADAFAK MAN, you just organized all things Ive been thinking about music marketing. People love to spend thousands in ads for their clips, but I knew it had to be like this. Thank you A LOT.
Thanks for sharing this golden info man, I've been spending years honing my craft and neglecting a good marketing plan for my music, gonna be binging these videos and taking notes! Cheers!
The covers part is true!! I covered a song by Lana Del Rey last year that has millions of streams across platforms and recently covered another one of her songs and have amassed almost 300k streams in two months alone. Covers are your friend!
I am getting back after a long hiatus - around 100 million plays of a song of mine under my belt, but in some ways I am like a newbie. Now I am going to watch all your videos, go through a couple of cycles and then I'd love to hire you for a consult:)
Thanks Damien, truly inspirational. I've been telling my housemates. We are all particularly inspired by the way your shirt is unbuttoned to perfectly reveal the dazzling blue pendant on your necklace. Gently resting above your beating heart. Mine beats for you
Hi Damian. Thank u for useful info 🎉 My question is: CAN I PUBLISH TIK TOK VIDEO, THEN COPY VIDEO FROM THERE AND POST TO IG AND TH-cam? I think it could save a lot of time instead doing same text above video. Thank you 😊
Been following you since 2020 during quarantine when I dropped my FIRST self produced beattape (I am a rapper and singer) ! Sometimes I tell my wife I thought of these ideas myself 😂 but mostly I tell her hey babe I just watched this new Damian Keyes vid, can you please help me film 109 videos 😂 You rock Damian !!
Hi! Thank you so much for giving such valuable information, it helps a lot!! Just have one question, shld i do this pre-release or post-release of a new single?
Hey Damian, I've been struggling with this question: what if you're not sure of the quality of your music, would you still say that following a plan like this could be beneficial? I guess it does give you feedback on the music and it's still putting yourself out there, just kinda scared of embarrassing myself you know.
We are living in a very strange times for artists ! I myself am a musician (classical) and a composer ! I’m definitely going to try this ! I do think though that people now a days see (as you say) so much content in a day … I think at the end of the day they don’t even remember what they’ve seen ! As evil as the music industry has been throughout the years and we all know by now , they had a structure of how to get out to the public with the ‘actual big artists’ from the past as we know them ! I think those days are over of that kind of stardom… maybe I’m wrong but… time will tell…
@@DamianKeyes I'll add these to my diary full of short content brainstorm ideas that haven't been made yet. You know my biggest obstacle?? Data management. My phone & laptop are so full constantly it puts me off making more and even when I do, everything is agonizingly slow or crashes, it takes so much time & effort. I know this would be a dry AF topic, but I all everyone around me who deals with music, film, photography or all three and it's the bane of everyone's existence. I'd love to know your thoughts on the subject
What will be extra challenging would be doing this while wearing a brown bag on your head. You know... Being anonymous while trying to build a fan base.
Brilliant stuff - again, you are an extremely polished speaker almost machine gun delivery. I'm going use all this, but I need a ski mask or somat as I prefer anonymity.
We can't even call these tips, it's a blueprint! Let's do it! We're definitely getting into the cover world 🎵🎶. My mind is buzzing with ideas 💡⚡💡 including U2 bits just for the flavor! We're working on a long version, but in the meantime we can release small bits. Makes so much sense! Thanks as always xoxo. Simone
I'm planning on my August content and I'm using this as a guide. While I love covers and completely understand your strategy for including them, what's to be done about copyright strikes on TH-cam??
It’s not easy for sure! I started on TH-cam at 40 and everyone laughed at me for doing it. Negative reactions are sadly a part of human nature, all you can hope is that the positive outweighs the negative! Anyone doing anything right gets negativity and you do get used to it :) Start by just creating, don’t give yourself the pressure of posting, just create and get better initially 😊😊
One thing really interests me in this video… turning down the original track. Should it be audible at all? Or simply that it’s code is there for algorithms? Also, do you generally expect copyright issues if you boost those videos?
Coincidently, i did go to buy underwear a few hours back but couldnt find what i was looking for but now with Damian's latest video advice I will get them for free lol Brilliant advice again !
I’m definitely trying this when I’ve finished school but what would you recommend for a band? Should I as the singer and guitarist do the covers and acoustic version? Also, should the mini music videos be of different songs or the same one?
Thanks for the awesome video! Is this plan mostly just recommended for implementation on tik Tok? And/or for example maybe a new artist has a FB, IG and tik tok - is this plan just meant to be used via one social media artist profile page (eg only tik tok) or should the same daily content be getting posted to multiple different social media artist profiles/pages (eg post the same exact daily content to tik tok, IG and FB) or something in between, like doing daily tik tok posts but maybe every other day or so on the other social media platforms? If that question might make any sense haha
I'm a techno artist, therefore I find it hard coming up with ideas for short music videos. There's no lyrics I can sing to and I don't want to just dance. Should i make a video of me playing a MIDI controller? But that seems boring and there would be no cameramovement
i saw a lot of lofi beatmakers or just instrumentalist, they do it like that, with nodding or face epressions (or if they had pets, they dance with them and this is cute tho but if its suits your brand etc.) i think this is okay.
Hi Damian! What's up. I just wanted to ask you what do you think about making music in Spanish and directing it to an English-speaking public. It's there any chance of working? Thank you for all the content you give us, it's extremely useful
I would think of creative ideas like mixing two songs that wouldn’t normally work together etc… go for stuff that people would recognise and be surprised by
@@DamianKeyes I agree. I watch so many DJs on TT and YT, and there's nothing more boring than watching a DJ work 🤣. I've purchased a graphics visual program with over 9800 videos that I can program to the BPM. I think these visuals intercut with me give the viewer another level. Over a 1 hour mix it's gotta be better than watching a DJ mix?!
Damian, I have no social media presence and I'm in the process of releasing my debut single out to the world. Do you have any videos to help with that? Thanks!!
Have you got any suggestions for electronic music artists? It is a bit more difficult to make visually interesting content when you aren't a singer songwriter.
I love this video! I've watched it a few times to get the extra little nuggets that I missed the times before. Yesterday was day 1 for me of posting. I have stuff scheduled for day 2 today! I'm really excited because the first mini music video got over 1,500 views in the first hours and also got me 4 subscribers! It was super successful in that department. It also got 24 likes and 9 comments! Unfortunately, it clearly wasn't target correctly yet, because it also got 13 dislikes and some of the comments were actually pretty shitty. I know it's not that I'm a bad musician, I have been performing professionally for over 20 years. In my 20 years, I've had to endure quite a few comments, some great, some negative, and some downright abusive. It's not about the performer, stuff like that is really about the commenter. I wanted to write this out to give a little bit of a cautionary tale to anyone expecting only positive reactions to their content. We are putting outselves out there. SOME will LOVE us, MOST will not, SOME will hate us. Just be prepared for that. This was something I was somewhat prepared for, but not like this, because this was the piece of content that has garnered the MOST negative reaction out of anything I've ever put out.

Tell a story on screen with text maybe about song inspiration while you play the midi maybe or like a POV of you mixing
