Using capital letters on every word does not guarantee a capital career.
Practice, get good at making music, start dropping, STAY consistent, promote yourself & your on. Its not that deep, but it does take work. People either start dropping music & their not that good yet, or the quality sucks...or they drop music once every 3 months & dont promote thereself...etc. You gotta be on top of everything...Be patient, work & you got it!! Lifes what you make it! Awesome video bro, keep em goin!

Do u mix and engineer ?
This obsession with organic reach sounds like an artistic ego trap. Everybody has a blessing. Your success really starts when you recognize and capitalize on yours. Some people it's their looks, some money, some connects. Take what you can because everyone else is.

This is amazing. I think the question EVERY emerging artist should be asking isn’t “how do I build an organic buzz” it’s WHERE IS THE BEST place to put my money to get the most ATTENTION. Is it influencer marketing? Is it the right collab? Is it IG ads? Etc etc.
There it is 👆
All of the above, and put more into whichever is working..
👏yes👏yes👏yes👏
@Thor The God Of Thunder, Hoes, and Beer if like to know more about how to do that
Exactly right! I feel like there's a massive blue Ocean in crossing digital marketing (online advertising, sales funnels, etc.) and artist brands. It's not authentic for an indie artist to capture leads and sell you a ticket after a consistent drip email campaign, but that's "good marketing" if you're a label? The inconsistencies in this music game are wiiiild
I used to think I’d release a song and people would just magically find my music without trying to push it out there...then wondered why my mom was the only one listening to my music 😂😂😅
Am dead 💀 😂😂
Lol

😂 nooo way!!!
I used to think so too

I think the only thing really inorganic is buying likes, plays, or followers. These days algorithms in social media make it necessary to pay for ads and other ways for exposure.
👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽
I agree!
Buying likes and spam commenting
@@gelatskis2262 I hope most artists don't do this. Just buy the cpm or cpa. That other stuff will show in long term.
@@RoxxiboxLoop right
i loved your point about using what we have- because so many times us artists feel discouraged because either we don't have enough money, or enough followers, or yada yada. But the reality is we're just wasting our time complaining about what we don't have vs using our time to enhance the skills that we do have or use the resources that we do have!
So thank you for reminding me of that- it's really so helpful!
If ur music is great and you are doing great marketing u probably going to make it 😉
Agreed
That *sounds* soo easy.
@@emailrichy yeah, that sounds easy but do not forget that great music is attractive and do not waste ur budget on a wack music hopping that it's going to blow up 😉😉
It’s not even if your music is great anymore
@@Fuziontony123 do not lie to yourself 😉 talent come first 😉
the god’s honest truth is that blowing up and massive success happens when a prepared person encounters a lucky opportunity. if you make sure you’re prepared, and chase down situations and conversations with a solid chance of weighing in your benefit, you might have a shot.
You look famous. Hi
How is advertising cheating??? If I had the money to get my music out there, I would totally pay for advertisement.
@DFM not really, I don't advocate advertising... After all the best marketing is word of mouth.. and I can tell you that from experience. If you advertise your giving up leverage.
@@warrentoles3127 That's why you only have 9 subscribers and these artists have 9 MILLION.

You know, I’m not an artist (I’m a video editor/director) but your advice and concepts apply universally when trying to grow a fan base for ALL creatives. Appreciate it 🙏🏾
Thanks man. You're right. Glad you can see that. 💪

same the principles are tried and true across creative fields very true
hey i’d love for some feedback and possibly to work together in the future, i’m working an a screenplay right now and have been getting a lot of mixed opinions on it. i’d love some feedback from an actual director and film editor for i’m still an amateur and this stuff

I have a friend who makes amazing music but she just doesn’t release anything. Keeps making, and making music. You can’t take off if you don’t let people see your beautiful art!!
Maybe she’s making music for herself
Maybe she's waiting to make a whole album or something.

Right! How can people decide if they like your music if they don’t even know you exist

The starving artist had nothing to do with a record label. It was usually directed to independent artists who had no one behind them.
Facts
10000%
That’s wtf I’m saying, seeing small artists post stuff like “nobody is listening to my song”, “I’m trying to make it”, or “ I put in all this work give me a chance”, is such a turn off. It makes them seem desperate and seems like they aren’t putting in the time to figure out how to make an audience care about their work. It really does give off “loser”. Like NO, SHOW ME WHY U AND UR MUSIC IS DOPE!
YES!!!, its called the music BUSINESS!
we need to conduct BUSINESS to scale our music.
97% of RAPPERS FAIL!!!!!! Becouse of lack of PROMOTION💯
Shit if that's the case, listen to my lil chill boombap song: ruclips.net/video/so3eutK45-U/видео.html

@@BlkKidWithTheGlasses dead 💀
I know a few artists here in my small town who want "organic" fans. And they think paying for promo or playlist placement is "cheating" and they make good music... but they have been in the same spot for quite a while.
They always will and truth truth is they don’t really want to grow. It is what it is because it isn’t what it isn’t.
ruclips.net/video/AcRvP2-MzV0/видео.html
but that is how the music business been operating for yrs
All I see in the comments is a bunch of other artist/producers with that music note by their channel name. Y'all are already doing good and know the right path!
Never underestimate the value of your work being unique
so many 444s and 44s on this video that’s how i know i’m supposed to be here right now and it’s 1:11 in the morning couldn’t be any better
Biggest takeaway:
ORGANIC reach
is a by product of
ARTIFICIAL marketing
Israel second biggest takeaway: byproduct is one word.

I wouldn't have just did 100,000 Views with running RUclips ads 🤷🏾♂️ I don't get why you wouldn't promote yourself when these platforms make it so cheap to do so
for real, my IG went from 200 followers to 2000 in a week and real fans all on my dm wanting links, merch and albums
Nu5en5e What’s yo Ig
@@joeturtleneck2300 you used IG ads to do it?
wytonryce jackson how?
You have no video on your channel and your stingey AF👎
this is very insightful. i need to work on my marketing game, just need to find the perfect template for my ads
This was SO WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you Sean!!!!
There are a lot of folks on YT doing this, but your channel is hands down the most useful and honest. I hope you reach a million subs.
I don't know who came up with that organic term, but nothing about the music business is organic. People advertise all the time and in millions of ways. How is anyone going to find you without you advertising?
Good Point! MARKETING IS EVERYTHING!!!!!
People fail because the label put em on the shelf and didn't market them, YOU HEAR IT ALL THE TIME!!!
In ANYTHING in life never forget, YOU HAVE TO MARKET!!!
I can't get into the whole story but all I can tell you is LEARN INTERNET MARKETING AND DIRECT MARKETING - IT WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST THINGS, MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU EVER DO THAT WILL ALSO GIVE YOU IMMEDIATE EXPONENTIAL RETURN!!!
Trust this random stranger... my gift to you!
Work smart not hard people.

Someday my music will be on billboard ❤🙏
Good luck
Really looking forward to it !! I hope mine too
yes claim it
You don’t even need good music to make it you just need to have a niche and be great at marketing your brand !
Well you really do need to be good at making music lol, no one that is straight trash is going to make it and that’s the sad truth. It’s a mixture of being great and marketing.
@@user-vx1ib1er1j i agree with your statement
@@Laveylovell Keep grinding bro🙏🏽🔥
@@user-vx1ib1er1j idk, if you have your niche of ppl that like your music, and you market it to the correct ppl, then you’re good, I think. You really don’t need to be the best in the world
Do you consider Gucci Mane's music great or trash?... 😂 😂 Your answer will be very crucial
Preach!! I've been saying this to my friends forever. Being "organic " is going to kill your career
The brand man gives the musicians playbook for free. Pay attention 🗣🧠📶💯
I hate that "Starving Artist" act people try to push. In 2019 there are better ways to create a successful stream of income from your brand and music than trying to sleep on couches and studios across the country calling yourself "Hustling" . Work on your craft , create a plan , and execute the best way possible.

You’re silly lol you think that’s an act? Nah nigga you gotta push how you believe in
Uh some of us actually hustling...

Mannn I remember a couple years ago you said IG had "peaked" as a place to grow organically. BrandMan the Prophet
Great video Brandman. I put $80 worth of advertising in 1 of my songs and now it's helping my channel! Thank you for the great advice
Have a good voice, flow. Have a great producer. Name, style. A new wave music video. An promote ya self and keep doing it for sure you will make it
That part. Everyone wants to be an artist and it’s not for everyone 🤦🏽♀️
Mixing & mastering is crucial
This is so good there’s so many people trying to hold each other down and it only gets worse the higher up you get. Preciate you
As a female artist I really appreciate this video. I have these type of convos with my team and just about everything hes said makes complete sense and is accurate. Very well informed man. Intellegence gets you farther then most things. Earned my sub 🤗
real talk bro. Like Pitbull said, this is 80% business, 20% music. Marketing is king, get ya mind right.
Brand man, baby you got to be signing some of these artists you’re putting on... the amount of potential dollars that you could probably generate if you had 1 hot artist
for real, like me. i just need that extra push bc i can obviously make hit after hit. i had a hit before i went to prison. sold 25,000 ringtones.

This is gold it trips me out when local artists shit on marketing or ads
Just came across this and subscribed! 2021 we are accepting all the good knowledge we can 🙌
Had a feeling this is where you grow your audience. thanks for the video! much appreciation!
Stay humble. Stay sweating. I promise it will pay off. I’m going through it was we speak. Let’s work! Let’s grow and blow the roof off this b!cht 🌌🌺💨🙏
Music isn't really about quality music, is don't growing. Audience base. It's a marketing exercise
I put off advertising when I started off because I wanted to get a feel for how putting out content and "organically" marketing works. Then when I felt ready and felt I might make some money in return, I started advertising.
But advertising is the furthest thing from cheating. If it's cheating, every single brand for the past century is a cheater.
yup same thing for influencers take heed and learn all you can
Divine connections matter too
imma full time artist its been 13+ years of trying in the game….this game aint easy it take a lot of work
In the end people being identified with being “genuine” or “organic” or “pure” is really just another thing they will try to play up later to market and promote themselves. The thing your method of promotion does not effect is the quality of your music. Make your music good first. Then understand that people want to hear it and make moves
There are also "ORGANIC" Marketing ways to reach your audience. As artists it is our number 1 responsibility to market our music or else we
that game analogy makes a lot of sense!!
Cardi B isn’t a good example. You can’t take an artist like Cardi B or Taylor Swift two artist with gigantic cooperate machines pushing their brands pouring millions into marketing campaigns.
You need promotion and exposure before marketing. Marketing comes from already making enough capital off the song to even CREATE a marketing campaign. Be careful when you use big named artist when using examples. It takes $ to make money but it’s a process and you have to take it step by step. The most valuable part of you is your music and getting into YOUR own specific niche and then feeding that niche with more great music and releasing it consistently. But promoting your songs and getting them proper exposure are honestly 70% of what makes a song successful. When I hear “‘marketing” in the music industry I think, ads, posters, billboards, and music videos in how your song gets to be perceived. But that isn’t something up and coming artist should be focusing on. Not until their songs do enough work for them to even have that extra cash to do any of that. Because the rest of that costs money.
You need organic promotion and exposure. Then the rest will follow based upon the audiences reaction to the “product” or “song”.

Of course you need to invest in yourself and put money into your music but TRUST me when I say, some people out here can magically blow up. You have people that buy their careers with so many ads over time and then you have unique talented individuals that blow up because the song extraordinary. Nothing is impossible. You can make it organically and paid
Good game right here. A lot of artists that are against paid advertising can't afford it so they have this notion that it's bad or cheating. smh
I’m a little more seasoned and I’m from Macon, GA. It was understood that you had to spend money to get heard. We had to go to clubs and PAY the DJs to get your record played. You had to PAY to get in front of people at these showcases. You had to actually take trips to spread the word about your music. You had to PAY to get a big DJ to host a mixtape. You can pay $100 get your song in front of thousands of people all at once now. These labels and these artists have these fake 0-100 in 3 month stories bro. It’s throwing these young artists off their game.
Yea man. That's the old school now....The internet and "going viral" reeeeally made a lot of people run with this "organic" narrative. They even try to flip it and make it sound empowering and pure. Just like "DIY". The buzz words will mess you up though.
U the real one bro these guys got shit twisted! Straight knowledge
Bro y 've you given them the blueprint,, its supposed to be a secret daaamn 😂
Work hard ... don’t give up... be original....
Do everything under the sky to get heard ...
But mostly love what you do... then others just might...
Chaos x
Some artists are just programmed to think it’s cheating to promote

@Sidney Celeste lol bad way to build a relationship
I have learned a lot from this channel
i came into this expecting "artist" to mean visual arts, like digital drawing, painting, ect
Even though i came into this hoping for advice for a different type of art, i was pleasantly surprised that this video still applies PERFECTLY to visual arts, not just music.
Good video, and definitely something i needed to hear!
Manifesting i become on billboards one day! 🤞🏽
I gotta add to this, Lil Nas X promoting “Old Town Road” with memes was genius.
Facts
Definitely needed to hear this
Very true, and I'm guilty of this myself every now and then.
i preach organic growth myself but im not referring to not using actual ads. i speak more on the bot plays, fake views, fake follows, clicks, etc.
This one hit hard ⚡️
Keep coming back to this video over my 2 years and still learning new perspectives
Talking to people and telling them to listen is literally organic lol
Now I gotta run the video back cuz I was in the comment section whooollleeee time he was talking lol.
Record labels are not STILLING artist money. First of all, this game is not designed for the artist to make money from sell or the record. Its always been designed for an artist to make money on shows appearances and endorsement.
Artist sign the contract and then cry they getting beat.... but they are now BIG!!!.
That's like everyone saying TLC got beat out their money.... why everyone can get a lawyer but themmmm?????... wow
Yes... and then they made a movie about it.... make it seem more real.....wow. people are fooled by this game.
I know you are just starting music recording network.... but you should teach a class on this stuff. Some of us want to learn from you.
Working on that now... sub to stay up.
I just became a solo artist after almost 8 years in a group and we made lots of mistakes and skip steps but now I know what to do. God bless everybody
50 For Speed
50 On Agility
Love it.
What you are saying is so true!
gotta hussle just like any other business
It's not artificial growing, it's investing in your product, in this case music
Chance is talented , smart and had investers out the gate
success is subjective its how u see it but if a person see success like the majority of the world then a artist will have a hard time because they are going to consantly chase something big when they are already big ... yo in a nutshell the music business is a mind game just like the rest of the world its mostly about how u think
The "classism in artistry." Yup it's a huge trap designed to keep artists in a certain mentality which makes them easier to exploit
Preach
That beat in the beginning was amazing!!!
*Thank you , im tell my artist bout this so he can stress less*
Thanks for the tips.💪💪
It’s all about the intention. As within, so without, as above, so below. You can’t get big and manifest many followers if you’re frustrated or fearfully trying to push your product unto others. Music is spiritual and it cannot be faked. Almost all the musicians that I look up to made it organically. Where they reached a state of professionalism that comes with practicing for more than 10 thousand hours. Once u reach that state, that frequency of being, you naturally attract situations that get your music heard: either through meeting musicians that already have influence or other connections.
We gotta be honest with ourselves as to why we make this music in the first place. Those who truly love music will not have the intentions of trying to manipulate their way through. They’ll just create.
IN THAT ORDER MY G♒♒♒♒♒♒💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪🧠👑🧠👑🧠👑🧠👑😐🤨😐
