Worked on a project last year where we released a 3 song EP every single month and saw huge growth - HOWEVER that doesn't necessarily work for every artist or their fans. This strategy that Jesse is talking about is a good way to keep people's short attention spans satisfied without burning yourself out as an artist - as always, content is key. Great vid!
Love that you are enjoying this! Which tips have been the most beneficial to you?
@@MusformationDefinitely sticking to the 6-8 week release schedule (also direct from DSPs). We also do lyric vid/visualizers for every single release and supporting SFC emphasis on YT shorts and TT.
Hey Nat, do you mind clarifying what you mean by DSPS & SFC? Thanks! Love hearing about your success!
@@salterofficial yes! DSPs are the streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc). SFC = short form content.

Hopefully this year I can make this dream a real thing.
Hell yeah
You will🙏 keep believing in yourself
We're all on the same page. If we find similar artists and share each other, we'll get to a solid fan base:)
The journey isnt easy but if chasing dreams was then everyone would do it. I dont know where your at now but make sure you go hard, even on the days you feel like you suck and you wont make it. Dont fight the feeling just embrace it and take it. Wake up the next day and give it everything you got again

i messed up so bad. i got popular but by being bad at singing and i did not capitalize on that. i was only 13 and I really did not know what I was even doing. I lost an audience and Ive struggled bouncing back ever since. this channel has been helping little by little.
That means a lot.
Imagine thinking you messed up because you did not “capitalize” on something when you were 13. Dude… be kind to yourself. That’s NOT what ANYONE should be worrying about when they are 13.

I wish there was someone out there with Jesse's level of experience and love for the community that could talk about the best distributors and break down specific differences or red flags. I inherently never trust anyone shilling their distributor because of course they would, but also want to know why someone might pick one over the other based on different factors.
Tunecore and distrokid are great. I think this is the rare part of the biz where the scammers are rare cause it’s a really hard business to be in.
I've been stacking songs in silence for many years now. Three albums worth at this point... I think I have to work on my social skills, because labels and blogs don't even bother to listen to them. I'm thinking of just using chat GPT to send emails, so that I sound more human haha.
Ah whatever, I had fun making the songs... That really is the best part.
PS. This is my favourite music promo channel. Cheers.
I don’t know that chat got is the answer but maybe read brene brown
I would like to listen to your stuff
@@brentwilliams5915 Hey man thanks for the interest! The project is named "Cloven". You can probably find it by searching "Cloven137". It's a wide variety of music from easy listening to gothic to black metal. I released like 4 albums and an EP this year. Cheers!
There is seriously no one better in the game than you. So happy I rediscovered you. I Have your 2021 book but just purchased the 2023 edition. That 40 bucks is going to make me thousands. Thank you Jesse :)

He’s wearing a Cure shirt. I already trust this man ❤😂
I feel another thing thats needed to be done, is delete all your friends and "homies" off your pages because most of them are jealous and hateful inside (especially ones with no talent or musical talent) strangers will invest and push you much more than your friends will and this is facts.. no matter how good you are those very "few" haters are usually close to home and thats why you dont realise its holding you back💯
Much love to all my growing artist💯❤️🎼🎤 great video❤️❤️❤️
There's a lot of truth to that! A lot of times I feel the same. It always seems like complete strangers even on the other side of the world are more interested than friends and fam

This video is an absolute gem 💎 and it’s available for up and coming artists for free. Much of this information was already something I knew, but it did serve me as a confirmation. Thank you Jessie Cannon.
I’ve just started to write and produce my debut album after being away for a while. I’m about to watch this video and I have a sense of trust with you so I’m hoping some of this info will put me in good stead, I’m not gonna lie, my previous record with releases are very much 👎🏼
Thanks for this man ✌🏼

I just started releasing music in English & Spanish. Should I make 2 separate accounts? I'm worried the algorithm won't know what to do with my content/audience.

Yo! What's up 😂

Absolutely, if your goal is to have 1mil fans and "blow up" and be flash in the pan, this is the video. Jesse Cannon is legit. That roster of his is legit, legit. You can't fault or fuck with that work rate, end of story. However, I think that establishing an actual long-term fanbase and cement oneself in the canon (no pun) of musical history is something that we're going to see have a comeback, through tactile, face-to-face methods, abandoning social media altogether. That's just my opinion, and it's nothing short of polarising - I'm aware. But I really think this is what's going to happen in 10 to 15 years. Social media will lose its chokehold on people, and attention spans will reach their shortest measure in human history, and then begin to stretch back.
i hope
Yes i agree with you completely. You need to be out there performing and learning your craft. Today young people don't have the abundant venues that were around when I was young in the 80's let alone the 60's in London. In those days people played instruments and did not rely on technology. Songs came from the creative process within the individual and not from a computer and that makes a huge difference. Is it not fair to say that with all the technology available to "help" create music, we live in a 'dead age" of music compared to the past. The only hard work most of those flash-in-the-pan stars do today is stand in the queue in the pouring rain to get on Voice of of Britain or some other talentless program. So I am sure there will be a return to performing to an audience and building your fan base, talent and art more organically than in your bedroom on a computer. Have a good day sir.
@@gezbo66Amen!!🙏
Let us make it so❤
Fantastic! Thanks for this ♥I've recently become an artist on Insight Timer and have been smashing out the ambient tracks. Their algorithm is certainly "the more people listen, the more mentions you'll get on their home page, which leads to more plays" and thus repeats the cycle! 😄 Also, I've noticed that HOW you name and categorise your tracks plays such a crucial role on Insight Timer as well.
JESSEE! I found your channel and loved the amount of real information there's in every one of your videos. Question, If i do podcasts as well as music, do i post them in the same channel or sould i go with separate ones? Love from Barcelona!
Separate
Awesome video. As an artist I find it very hard to do art and also this. What's the professional to do this for us? How to make it reliable to hire someone to do it?
Where is your art?
Just wanted to say thank you sm for these gems!! You're really help me connect the dots on some of these topics! You and Brandman network are really heaven sent🙏🙏🙏

whats the best low budget to have for promotion as an independent producer and artist like me?
Dude it’s so annoying promoting your music like im just a music producer I dont even want money why isn’t that enough lol
Hmm.. I respect that, but if you love it, you might as well at least try to make a living off of it. I live off grid in the middle of nowhere colorado and promo is about the only way I can get exposure
So than just don’t promote it and make tunes because it’s your passion, nobodies forcing you to turn it into anything other than a passion project!
I get what you’re saying man. Why isn’t making cool music enough? We have to do all this other bull that we literally couldn’t care less about. Success to me is loving the song you just produced. But then I need food and water and it’s cold outside.
I'm making music for many to hear it..not just the 15 members of my extended family 🤣
Have considered collating with a vocalist or rapper?
This makes a stupid amount of sense, fucking finally someone who actually tells it straight, everyone waves hands around like they got magic are abundant and they talk gibberish.
Thanks so much!
Better to release album or singles? I'm releasing twice a week. I have 30 unreleased tracks. I don't want that backlog of tracks rotting away. I want perform live so when ppl shazam my music i get something out of a live show. Also spotify doesn't allow ads in India which is where I am. Do i have it all wrong? Thanks
Just found your channel and love your vids bro. If I am debuting as an artist with some prepared curated songs should I stick to the 6-8 release schedule? Or would it be better to get some songs out in a shorter time period to build somewhat of a catalogue quicker ? Would love to hear your take, thanks
It helps to have some catalog for stickiness
I'm in a similar situation with a full album as a new artist and was wondering the same thing. I've been leaning towards a hybrid approach between catalogue & a schedule like this. I've been releasing singles every like 3-4 weeks and ultimately plan to release 5 singles, then the full album (10 songs) a few weeks after that 5th single.. I also am basically starting from scratch, barely know what I'm doing, and haven't spent any $$ marketing anything. Just trying to learn/experiment/practice. Hell me being active on social media is a huge development lol
sounds like the right track, great job@@librationmusic
@@BXMBXM.mp3 thank you!
I'm still only at the start of the video but, what about those of us who love listening to and want to release "conceptual albums", where all 10 songs are designed to be listened to in a specific order or we want to release a 5 song story where each song is essentially a chapter? I live for the artistry of making music, and one song every 8 weeks feels like a suffocating limitation on my creativity. Do I have to choose between just dealing with it if I want to have the best chances or choosing to risk being disfavored by the algorithm in order to stay true to what I want to do creatively? I'm a huge music junky and have in the past lived for composing, arranging, and releasing a multi-song album.
Quick question: So for an unsigned artist, if we have an official music video ready to release with our single, should we release the single first? Then the music video a couple of weeks later? Or both at the same time?
If you type my name "Jesse" into Google, our website comes up, and there is an email there, and we can help you there.
I say release them both at the same time. Because that way, you’re not making those who want “audio only” waiting. it’s a pain having to keep your smartphone’s display on TH-cam to listen to music that you really enjoy. I mean yeah, sometimes you put up with it and that prioritizes the video’s reach. But most likely the difference in views would be minimal. So releasing them both at the same time and to all major platforms makes it easier for the listener.
You had me with your Disintegration t-shirt (love that album) but then I saw that you worked with Conflict! Amazing.
Great information, straightforward and honest. I appreciate what you do ♥️🤘🎶
Jesus loves yall, died for us, and rose again! Jesus calls for all of us to repent! He's coming back
I feel like Tom Macdonald has mastered these strategies. After watching this video I now recognize these strategies in someone like Tom
What would you recommend for artists in the heavy edm field like dubstep and riddim? would you recommend label releasing your singles or solo releasing them? The biggest thing im trying to weigh out is if its better to be guaranteed to reach a larger audience while sacrificing the direct link to your pages vs a less guaranteed reach while making it easier for people who do hear your track to find your page and follow directly.
What if you have no songs currently released? If people come back to your profile they will only see 1 song, should you have a few songs that you release to have few that you just release at once ?
The video EVERY artist needs to watch
😎
If it takes me several months and even years to fully complete a song for release, then how can I manage to make a lyric video, full music video and alternative version of it for just 9 weeks? And if I do that instead of completing the other song for release, then the interval between songs will be close to a year or even more
Can you give examples of doing something eventful every two weeks and doing something smaller every week?
Lil Nas got big for promoting a variety of things that the industry is pushing.. 💁 has nothing to do with talent with most of these celebrities..
Can you get into SoundCloud and making bootlegs as an EDM artist to build a fan base? I believe that SoundCloud is overlooked especially in the EDM world
Yeah I’ve needed to do this for a while good call
@@Musformation Awesome! I actually don't release as much on spotify because of the amount of money it takes to make cover art + canva (around 200USD) so I have been just making bootlegs of songs and release them on SoundCloud using art I made myself and I have seen my spotify monthly listeners go up as well. Went from 720 followers in December to 852 on SoundCloud currently releasing 3 songs :). I do want to grow my spotify but I hate releasing music on there and getting no plays, feels like a waste to release original music at the moment.
I rarely come back to an artist if the first time I go to their Spotify profile they only have 1 or 2 singles. So why does it make sense to release singles before a LP or EP?
You are correct but also expecting your first two songs to blow up are ridiculous. We see once 3-4 songs are up of a similar quality you can get people to follow along
It doesnt. If the album is great and the singles are great you'd be better off releasing the whole thing and pushing 3 hits at the same time. If the album isn't great and the singles aren't strong this obviously won't work. Essentially though if the first two singles aren't good noone is gonna bother going to the album whether it exists or not. If the singles are great then I agree. Aren't you simply losing out on tons of listens and saves by not having the album there ? I personally think doing whole albums these days while everyone else is dropping their poop daily and weekly will only make it stand out more by clearly going against the grain and showing that this one release which may or may not ever be backed up with anything else or not even a single song again clearly creates more value then the millions begging for your attention every day,night,and week shoving their content up your butt but I think differently than most so there's that lol.
@@RobertJeffers-ms6uzmost people aren't going to listen to an album if they see one, maybe a song or two, much more likely to go listen to a single and, if it's a hit, come back for the next one, and the next one, and the next one, and then once you've proven yourself they might stay around for an album. also you never know when someone is just starting to listen to your music and they're more likely to listen to newer stuff than they are older stuff so if your newest thing is an album then it's harder to attach
@@kaebrenwillis7442 if a song is truly a hit people will play it on repeat and it will grow infectiously. Hence the term viral. The sheer mathematics of this disagree with you.
If I release just two songs and one of them blows up and does millions in a short time then the millions of listeners of that song have only one other song of yours to stream you've costed yourself big time. This isn't to say you can't "keep bringing them back" but if you released 10 songs instead of 2 you're going to see way more return on that hit single. Let's be real here a true hit single means in today's world you went from zero to a million in 72 hours and spread to 30 to 50 million in 90 days.
If you're talking about gradually growing listeners at a snails pace from 100 to 500 to 10000 then we aren't talking about a hit record at all or anything close. That's the "niche marketing" narrative and should not be confused with a hit.
The simple math tells me that if my song got played 50 million times and I have 10-15 songs available instead of 2 I'm going to see way more streaming revenue not to mention get way more touring opportunities.
About hashtags on TikTok, I don't live in the same region as my target audience. What would you advice me to do? I live in Spain, but I make English and Dutch music. I noticed my first few tiktoks posted in the last two weeks are 90% shown in Spain, even though I only use english language and niche hashtags (and some eluding to the Dutch language). I am cautiously trying out Nordvpn now, which has led to some strange things. If I try to change my region on TikTok it only shows American places, I'm guessing that is because of my American vpn location, but I cannot select it because you have to be 90 days in the us to select it. But if I create a new account (to try and bypass the 90 days), it still creates it in the region of Spain. If I turn off my vpn, I still can only choose American locations for my region (but then I can't select it due to not being there since 90 days). I still have to post a TikTok with the VPN on, but my question is specifically on what kind of hashtags would you use outside of the genre hashtags. Do you think #american and #nederland would be good things to suggest to the algorithm?
Wow, so much to learn here! I’m going to have to watch this video about 10 times to take it all in!
🕺🏼
I just put out my first song on Spotify and this video has a lot of useful info I’m gonna use for planning my second release. Thanks!
any suggestions videos for people who work full time ( if the suggestions are different)? like what to focus on with limited time.
I talk about this a bit here and there but no suggested video but is probably a good member video to do.
cant wait!
@@Musformation
yeah my most recent track actually got an artist wanting to work with it and it was because i spent like a month on the beat just messing with it and i have significantly slowed my release pattern to make sure my music passes a certain quality threshold.
like if my ableton projects don't have at least 20 lanes and it's all been organized, then i dont release it.
because a lot of the time, when i take the time to organize a final product, i find a bunch of stuff i missed in the eqing and come up with new ideas.
There's a problem with working together in the dutch music industry. Dutch people are mostly "All for themselves". I have tried to grow an inner circle of musicians in my niche but most dutch artist just do what they do and everyone is on their own. Because the country is so small, labels take over Spotify, radio and tv. But still the independent artists are not coming together in our scene. What can I do about this?
@23:41, Facebook Graveyard, I literally spit coffee 😂

pure fucking value.
if artists i know who are struggling even implemented ONE or TWO of these concepts from this video they'd be in a completely diff position.
Nobody gives a shit about music videos unless you're already a big established artist
I just started producing my music about 4 days ago I’m not sure how many streams I’ve got off of anything at all
l have 2 questions. So lets say l am a new artist, meaning this will be my first song released in years, l'm basically starting from 0 lol
1. Should l have content already before hand? Like performance videos, making videos for the earworm part of my song on tiktok before the song actually comes out and l start the week 1,2,3 process etc?
2. Does week 1 etc start when my song is actually live on spotify/ all platforms?
1. Yeah if you watch my 60 day plan I explain this thoroughly 2 yes
@@Musformation okay thank you!
If I do all this promotional work, then I physically have no time to make good music.
Everyone’s circumstances are different. But you’ve never had to spend less time promoting than you do now to blow up.
Fortunately, you're right but the more time I dedicate to promotion, the more it hurts the quality of my music so the purpose defeats itself. I guess it's a matter of finding your own happy medium. Problem with me is, I'm the type that does not take short cuts or make compromises with my music and that takes up 90% of my time. It's not that I don't want to make money, it's just that I choose to value the quality of my music and the pleasure of making it above anything else.
bro stop spittin, you flooded my entire house with facts 🤣
One of my favs
This is really helpful! If you talk a little bit slower and change your tone a bit depending on the emotion you’re conveying and emphasize key points more you will probably have better retention with your viewers.
So what roll will Instagram play in 2024 would it impact on anything?
Instagram is still huge and the main place people go to stay in touch with artists. When people say it’s dying the decline is marginal and they are just hyping for clicks. It’s barely smaller than TikTok (2% in Gen Z) and both are way smaller than TH-cam
Salute . Battery in back activated ! 👌🏽💥 .
Thank you so much... I just got out of the recording studio. And both my band mate and I both 100% believe with every ounce of our being that the record we are working on is something great that will stand the test of time. One of those albums that you listen to from start to finish because it's epic & huge. We have release two of the tracks (our first two ever commercially, which we super proud of but we are starting from nowhere) we need help but its hard to try to figure that out while to ppl are doing all of the playing, singing, recording, engineering... everything. Name is trismic & the first two tracks are tides & motion sickness.
This is great info thanks.What is meant by single screen video?🙏🏾🎼
Just the album cover
I don’t think the approaches that apply to pop genres apply to, say, artists who sound like Max Richter or Olafur Arnalds. For example, how do you get on the "Not quite classical" playlist? Who has promoted an artist in that genre?
I know this general well as u listen to it from time to time… with that said this is one of the very few genres where it’s very old world music but there’s so few genres this doesn’t work in but this is one of
If you make great music it doesn't matter how often you release it. Great songs released weekly or biweekly will build an audience quicker. As you said, there is alot of competition for attention and soooo much mediocre music being released daily.
Nope! That’s the dumbest thing people say. We see it all the time and with proof. People put out tons of songs and they don’t have the time to get enough attention. Then when the artist slows down and actually promotes stuff later on that song they promoted too fast get discovered and does numbers but had they concwntrated on doing it properly the song would have done better. I’ve seen it 20-30 times. Songs are not lottery tickets before you have a platform even when it’s great they often don’t get to the right people till you effectively promote. I know a lot of people who don’t actually read data and do lots of experiments say this but I see more data and campaigns than nearly anyone alive and have the proof. But don’t.
Just put you as my TH-cam source for music information/ updates on the Spotify survey 🙌🏾
What’s your opinion on Nic D’s music release strategy. If you know of him? There’s a few differences between yours and his, yet he’s fairly successful as an independent artist. Though he did definitely build a community, similar to how you say, he seldom linked them together. Rarely plugging his music on his podcast or vise versa. As well as dropping very frequently, focusing more on discography building.
My thoughts are far too long and bances for a comment would have to do in a stream
@@Musformationpls do one for the premium members club
Found you and I can’t stop watching! The algorithm really knew I needed you 😅
Appreciate That
I’m gonna release a new song every week all 2024. If you don’t have an audience yet, nobody knows you’re tryna see what sticks. If your quality can stay high, quantity can too.

Wasn’t this the opposite of what he said to do 😂
@@lorelitasirenita Indeed, very. But it's going very well so far. Monthly listeners, followers and etc going up. Spotify seems to like it. Initial algorithmic push gets stronger every week.
thank you i needed to see this, seemed like nothing works good enough but i know i have a beautiful voice and i am a talented writer.
Should I rather advertise my oncoming song on social media, or the already released one?
The Aries shoutout made me so happy :)
Great video, I am intrigued. Definitely your target audience. Will start watching. Like most here I’d love to see my music take off.
If you don’t like doing something it comes out on the recording !If you love something it’s almost impossible to hide that fact on a recording !
Thank you ! Best one so far
