Guaranteed Way To Increase Anticipation For Your Single Or Mixtape Release

Learn How To Create A Buzz For Your Next Music Release!

So you have invested nearly all your resources into making your brand new single or mixtape. Well, what next? Do you have a plan to snatch the much coveted crown in the music industry, or will you sit there and wait to be successful? I hope not... I have a motto that I've been living by since  16 waiting on the next man you won't have shit and that definitely applies to the music industry.

 I can tell you that one of the best ways to get disappointing and heart wrenching results with your new music release is to launch it without plans to promote or market it. It  seems like most artist nowadays just release their singles or mixtapes, by literally “making it available” in the market by putting it on Facebook, Datpiff , or any other 3rd party music site , but what musicians fail to realize it that those sites are just platforms to host your music (Really you should have your own site) and you still have to promote and market to get people to your music.

 When all these megastars you always hear about, such as; Kanye West and Rick Ross release their single,mixtape or even an album, they do not just put it there blindly, and sit back. Successful musician will be strategic enough, and even release a single in advance of the entire album. Here they build anticipation. Its about building a buzz and having a strategic plan.
Unfortunately, one of the mistakes I normally see many artists make from time to time is lack of building anticipation for their music releases. It seems that independent musicians have the tendency to just announce they are releasing their new single or a mixtape, and then just  release it foolishly. Well, this is a big NO!
Allow me to break down this whole idea behind, proper releasing of music, and anticipation. You see, human beings are wired in such a way that they respond much better to enticing perks and, when they have sufficient time to hype about it. By dropping a hint that you might release an awe-inspiring music, it is no brainer that many fans will be anticipating to buy your music or you can release little snippets of some of your best songs also.  Eventually, this will increase the probabilities of being successful with your single or mixtape.I'm pretty sure your getting my drift on how you can cut your niche successfully, without much hassle?
By alerting people or your target market, per se, you give them time to carry out a few things such as;Fans will get excited about which kind of music you want to drop. While some fans will be excited, without raising their anticipation high, it is definite that more excitement will just build up over time. Making your prospective fans wait that much longer can even increase their interest in your work-piece, and get excited when the D-day arrives.  For example, just think of small children on Christmas holidays.

A little and deliberate delay of the single or album will allow the fans to try to save some money required to buy your product. It is most likely that if you release it instantly, they might lack the money, hence reduce the amount of sales you could have made. Moreover, this can be bizarre as some people are naturally discouraged to buy things after it was released long ago, they will forget about it. However, if you alert people about your forthcoming single or album, they might just set aside some cash to buy your music upon its release. If you furthermore talk about your forthcoming songs, I’m sure some avid fans will mention it to their peers, and by this it will help spread the buzz quickly.Think about how movies work they make their most money on the opening weekend due to the buzz they created before they released it and after that the sells dwindle down. So the whole goal is to create the most buzz before your project drops.
Trust me when I emphasize on proper marketing and promotion of any music release prior to the D-day. Actually, I bet you have heard or even seen, some big and established record label advertise about a forthcoming single or album, like 3-5 weeks before it is released, and it all boils down to raising your target fans’ anticipation. Anyway, now that you have grasped some ideas regarding how important anticipation is to any music release, let us see how you can create it, and possibly keep the fans involved.
Allow fans to know you are about to drop something
This is the preliminary stage. Prior to exciting your prospective market or fans, you fist need to give them something to get excited about. Make it a big deal announcing your forthcoming music item. And even make them believe it will be the best of all, and you have given your best shot. However, do not narrow it down to a specific date, just tell them that you are working on it, and it will ready in a few weeks or months.
Ensure you update them about every progress
As you are working on the final touches on your project, it is important to give people updates regarding your progress. For example, you can let them know that you have finalized recording all the songs in the album, and you are busy shooting high quality videos somewhere. Well, just tell them anything relative to your music and it will stick on the fan’s mind.
Moreover, do not fail to mention, how you are excited about this project and give them an idea of what to expect on your mixtape and have a custom mixtape cover, or single cover use as bait also.Trust me this kind of excitement will get to fans.
Involve your fans in the making process
Another big way for getting the fans hyped is by getting them involved in the whole process. It instills some sense of importance, and fans will feel like you appreciate their efforts and immense love. If you really want to people to be excited about your project, a perfect idea is to bring them on board. This can be in terms of; asking your fans to suggest some of their favorite lyrics or punch lines  for you to put in a song, ,those are just some examples you can add your twist to it, but make sure you apply it to your strategy it will pay off  . You can ask them to tell you what they feel it should be incorporated in your videos, or which artist to collaborate with him or her.
Music is the universal language, and it is a great tool to connect and relate with others. For this reason, an artist needs to create a buzz for every  project, and so fans are  ready to receive the single or mixtape,and your project will be a success.Remember people don't plan to fail they fail to plan if you don't have a strategic plan behind your projects your just wasting your time. Really it should be common sense just think about your favorite artist you listen to now you heard their music because they marketed and promoted it correctly and when you see any mixtape covers, album covers, or any graphics that represents them its always professional.

How To Get More LIisteners To Your Mixtape Guranteed!

We all know the music niche is hard to break into with there being so much competition,but let's not get it twisted it can be done with the right music, branding , and marketing.Nowadays the mixtape game is breaking artist and getting alot of independent artist tours with high paying shows.Its all about have a plan with every project. While  everybody's tying to get in the game thru the door you should try to go thru the window lol.

I see tons of artist with good mixtapes but they will never get to the next level because they don't understand that its more then the music when it comes to your music  all off your mixtape covers, flyer, poster, or anything with your brand on it needs to be professional everytime.In the music industry its all about look and you only get 1 first impression,but yet so many artist try to be cheap when it comes to there mixtape design or they either want a free cover and just run with whatever graphic design they get it lol to me that is mixtape suicide.Just think how you react when you go to a site like Livemixtapes or whatever mixtape site you go to when you scroll thru the music when you see a wack ass cover you don't pay it no mind or if you do its because your laughing at it lol.

 I mean think about it if a person has never met your or heard your music before they can only judge you off of what they see which will be your mixtape cover design. Your graphics should be the bait that entices the viewer to want to hear what behind the graphics because your cover should match the title of your mixtape and the theme should bring the title to life.


There are hundreds of mixtape sites online that will let you upload your mixtape so you can increase your fanbase that you should take advantage of,but the you need to make sure your mixtape graphics and everything that represents your brand is on point and just doing that will help you standout from the bunch and get more people to your music trust me.... alot of artist focus on the music and forget about the there image and branding and get a cheap ass design just so they can say they have a project out.

So what you need to do as an artist is put the same amount of energy you put into recording into planning out your designs for your mixtape covers , and mixtape marketing and I guarantee you that you will get more people to hear your music and you will increase your fanbase.

So from here on out dont only look at yourself as a musician look at your self as businessman or women.Make sure everything is professional that relates to your label and brand even if it cost you a couple of extra dollars its worth it in the long run.

Mixtape Marketing- Make Your Mixtape Go Viral Online

Viral Mixtape Marketing 

 Let us just face it; artists normally devote a lot of time trying to come up with good music. Going by the latest happenings in the entertainment industry, many artists are struggling to perform better and outdo each other.  Unfortunately, it is very sad to see how some talented artist waste their time and other resources by failing to perform as required. I have seen various artists and rappers striving hard to come up with impressive songs, just to find themselves in a scenario where their mixtape flops.

To worsen the matter, no artist will pin point the problem as to why he or she failed. Actually, in most cases, the core reason as to why mixtapse usually flops is that performing artists concentrate on one area of composing and recording their mixtape, and tend to forget on the others. This is what hampers a successful mixtape. For instance, just fathom mixtape success as a special system. If you happen to fix wrongly or fail to fix any part, the system will not function. Well the music business is also similar to this. If an artist misses on any essential step, the mixtape stands a chance of failing.   This is the reason, as to why an artist needs to learn the ropes of the game, while marketing their mixtapes. In order to have a successful mixtape, one should initiate mixtape marketing where it will provoke prospective fans to go for the mixtape.
I think by now you have heard of the phrase, mixtape marketing. If you do not know, mixtape marketing refers to the process of publicizing a mixtape with an aim of increasing its popularity, as well as sales. If properly carried out, mixtape marketing can thrust an artist from oblivion to stardom. More so, if an artist utilizes this chance he/she can successfully curve a niche in the very competitive industry. However, image is literally everything in this game, and this applies to how an artist presents his or her product in the market. Now this is where professionalism comes in. Recent studies show that a rapper stands a high chance of having a successful music career if he/she oozes some level of professionalism. The professionalism aspect can be incorporated in music career, by simply using professional approaches such as marketing and branding your product.
In addition, most of the artist, if not all usually fail to think of how their mixtape cover will look like. Artists fail to figure out what they want for their mixtape promotion, all of this just leads to failing terribly due to ignorance and lack of preparation. Furthermore, it seems that most of the artists have no idea how the physical appearance of a mixtape plays a great role in its marketing. For instance, a fan cannot ignore a good-looking mixtape, and settle for the wacky and unprofessional mixtape graphics. Normally an irresistible mixtape enhances marketing in some way. Therefore, if you want your music career to thrive, just ensure that your mixtape cover designs are always off the hook.  Moreover, it should not just be irresistible, but also correlate with the kind of music lying in the mixtape.
Mixtape marketing is a bit diverse; however, there are doable techniques an artist can use to move his career a notch higher. For instance, you can simply share your mixtape on various social media websites such as Facebook, twitter, YouTube, yahoo, and many others. Moreover, you can advertise your mixtape on forums, and publicize it in the market. Advertising of a mixtape boosts the awareness of your mixtape, and ultimately attract more fans. Ideally, mixtape marketing can be carried out in terms of advertising prior to its launch or release into the market. Doing so, will make your prospective fans get anxious on getting their hands on your product. This increases the popularity of your mixtape, and increases its chances of being successful. Let us just be real. Who doesnt want to make it?
However, any Tom, Dick and Harry cannot carry out mixtape marketing or designing mixtape covers. This technique needs some level of expertise, thus the need to seek for professional services unless you are in the wrong career. An artist should actually look for qualified marketers who are good at what they do. The current group of artist is a lucky lot, owing to the influx of marketing tools. For this reason, one can be convinced to market his/her mixtapes, because they have everything at their disposal. Unfortunately, this might not go well, as compared to a mixtape marketed by a professional company. On the other hand, an artist needs to be prudent enough not to fall for the incompetent mixtape marketers. This is because if a poor marketing company handles your mixtape, it might attract various plagues to your music career. The design of mixtape marketing normally has a great effect on the sucess of your mixtape, and on this note, poor marketing risk will bring your music career to a halt.  
Nonetheless, there is no cause for alarm, as Artist Developments Viral Mixtape Marketing Guide is dedicated to make your mixtape marketing easy for you. Being a renowned expert, and former Artist Development at a major label, he created this guide to ensure that a customer or an artist per se, reaches mixtape success without much hassle.

For instance, a marketing company can apply procedures and processes such as, use of different social media avenues to provoke prospective fans to get ready for your mixtape. Furthermore, they can heap all sorts of praises to your mixtape, thus attracting potential fans to buy your mixtape, and listen to your recordings.
A well-calculated marketing plan builds up a robust fan base, and eventually earn you the much-coveted moniker of a music maestro. However, you will never reach this stage with a poor approach of mixtape marketing. So what is the trick?

Professional Mixtape Covers And Musician Branding

Why Artwork and Quality Mixtape Covers are Essential to Success in Showbiz
There are three main ingredients to being a successful musician in today’s competitive and digitalized world: Good music, Eye-catching artwork and proper marketing or branding.  Most talented musicians, especially those that are just getting started in the show business, often put sufficient focus on the quality of music they make but waste too much money on marketing while overlooking proper artwork aspects of the music.  If you are an upcoming musician, these are the three things that you have to pay very close attention to, and the first thing is your mixtape artwork design.  This post will focus on this element.
Unless you are Kanye West or someone who is so popular that the fans aggressively hunt for an upcoming album, most people will obviously consider you a new artist and will make the first judgment or get the first impression about you and your music based on your album or mixtape artwork.  From mainstream artist to unsigned independent bands, the use of artwork is essential for every kind of musician or musicians wishing to reach the masses with their talents, skills and messages.   The easy accessibility of different forms of music especially online give artists the shorter end of the stick as it now takes a much shorter time for the audience to actually pay attention to music.
It is perfectly fine to focus on the music; after all, you are a musician.  However, the visual aspect of your music, the artwork, is something that you should accord equally important consideration once you have made the music.  Visual stimulation is the best marketing tool to use today to rope in listeners by catching their attention and making them want to know what hides behind the image, the colors, the texture, the graphics and the shadows.  Music is no longer about pouring your heart out to the mic, getting to the top will take a lot of visual tricks.
If you are one of those upcoming artists who leave the artwork to the last minute or even sometimes forget to allocate enough time, your just setting yourself up for failuure.  While you may be convinced that you can make your own cover artwork or custom mixtape cover remember that it takes a lot more than putting a picture of yourself and your tag on the cover to convince listeners you have something they might be interested in.  These days, fortunately, there are professionals who have studied and practiced  cover designs and everyone can afford and access their services.
The things we take for granted are the ones that may bring us down.  Just as you want the recording process to be immaculately and flawlessly done, you should allocate enough resources to hire the finest, most experienced yet affordable professional music graphic designer.  Most designers offer their services online but remember any quack can try to sell you poor quality or stole work, be very careful who you trust.  A good place to start is Mixtape Cover Kings.  See what a real professional mixtape cover design site has to offer.
The future is in outsourcing, there is no reason why you shouldn’t trust a professional to produce your best works.  As an upcoming musician, you will want to project an image that your listeners can associate with, whether it is an image of you, your logo or just a tag.  A professional cover designer will find a way to transform your message, your desires, your personality or the message in your music into color, shapes, pictures, shades, text and colorful emotions that your mixtape will use as the first line of attack for attention.
You already know music isn't going anywhere  – listeners have a big heart for good music, and musicians will always be the flashiest celebrities, the thriftiest spenders, the most listened to leaders, role models, teachers and entertainers, but to become one takes a lot of planning.  As you plan to make and promote your music, remember that the secret to winning hearts lies in the right artwork and most specifically, the mixtape cover design.  Therefore, make plans to dedicate your efforts in making music, but first find a reputable mixtape cover designer to entrust the visual design tasks to. I would recommend www.MixtapeCoverKing.com they work is amazing there prices are affordable for any artist.

Mixtape Cover Prices- You Get What You Pay For

Mixtape Cover Prices Online

The mixtape design game is just like the rap game everybody's does it, but only a few people do it right.There are tons of graphics designers online that swear there the best but there work doesn't live up to the hype.
The funny thing is that alot of artist will see there work is just ok and will still purchase a mixtape design from them  just because there price is cheap and that doesn't make any dam sense at all. Why would you take a high quality product and devalue it with a  low quality  cover just to save $10.lol Sounds like you don't take your career that serious to me. I'm not saying you should spend an arm and a leg on cover, but you shouldn't be scared to spend a lit bit to make sure you look professional I mean that only makes sense right?
I've seen all types of different mixtape cover prices online,but some of them are just a joke.Who would really design a quality mixtape cover for $10 thats doesn't make sense unless its sum bs or a template they have used 1,000 times on other artist thats premade.
If your looking to get a professional cover design in 300DBI you should plan on spending anywhere from $50 to $75 dollars depending on if your get a front and back cover some designers charge $150  just for a front cover which I believe is expensive especially  for  indie artist considering the fact most of them cover their own budget.
So when your shopping around for a mixtape cover make sure you checkout the designers portfolio to see the the quality of work matches the price and make sure the designs actually match the title of the mixtape.
If your looking for a high quality mixtape cover at an affordable rate I would recommend you visit www.MixtapeCoverKing.com to check out their portfolio there work is amazing and the prices are low.

Over the recent years, social media marketing has become popular among business entrepreneurs, and musicians are no exception either. In fact, many musicians are nowadays using reputable social networking sites such as YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, MySpace, and Facebook as excellent marketing platform to promote and push their music into the market. It is quite challenging for an artist to make it in the industry, unless you are determined to be at the top, and you know all it takes to be at the helm of the music industry. Music marketing is a crucial thing in an artist’s life, thus the main reason as to why one should handle it seriously and carefully. Actually, if everything is carried out correctly, music marketing is sufficient enough to thrust an artist from oblivion to the much coveted stardom.
Nonetheless, let us get back to the main track; music marketing on social media platform is normally effective with the use of video promotion. In general video promotion is revered as excellent platform to promote any kind of business. Actually, video marketing technique has the sheer ability to pull major customer base towards an artists’ music site, or any other business website, per se. On the other hand, for starters YouTube is one of the most popular video sharing platforms, which boasts of millions and millions of subscribers from all over the world. And by posting your business or music promotion video on YouTube, it will reach a wide range of audience owing to the enhanced online visibility.
Generally, the video with highest traffic will pop up at the top of the results, increasing the possibility of attracting larger customer base. When it comes to YouTube, the comments, likes, subscriptions, and shares play a huge role to the promotional video visibility. Moreover, high quality, jaw-breaking, and informative video attract more numbers of likes from the YouTube followers. And when this happens, your YouTube video gets natural and organic traffic for your music/business website. More likes and views enhance the fame to that video. However, how will you do all this, yet you have no power at all over your target audience? Simple! For enhanced marketing strategy, you can start your business with a few subscribers who will ensure you have increased web traffic. In this case, it is advisable to buy YouTube views which are a worthy investment for your music career in the long run.
Moreover, this process is very effective because you do not have to pay any fee to post videos on YouTube. Getting more views on YouTube videos or even have a video with more likes and comments may sometime take a lot of time, and it might not yield as much as you want. This is the main reason, as to why it is very important to buy YouTube views as it will help boost your fame in the niche of your specialization.The whole secret is finding a company that gets you real human youtube views. However, you cannot buy views from any random seller; hence, it calls for buying YouTube views from reliable and approved service providers. If you are still wondering how all this goes, then let me clear your doubts. Not only these programs or techniques are cost-effective but they are hassle-free as well as high result yielding.



What is the need to buy YouTube views?
  • Getting more exposure – when you post a video on YouTube, the main aim is to seek more audience, right? This translates to more views hence increased popularity. And who on earth does not want his or her video to be the most popular, and be on top of competition whether it is done by an individual or an organization? These free cost of online campaign aids musicians, business people, and many others in getting lots of return for their effort. Videos have become one of the most famous means of advertisement, and the more views you get the more one will be fulfilling his/her goals.
  • Fan following – When you buy YouTube views, one of the objective is to have a fan following. Everyone, including you, will want to watch that video that has got thousands or millions, rather than watching that one which has fewer views.
  • Optimization for search engines – YouTube views are one of the important factors which is used in algorithm of ranking various videos in search results. When you buy YouTube views, the service providers will help you secure high web rankings. There are millions of videos that are posted on YouTube site, but pause, have you ever wondered whether their video must be having something special in order to grab the attention of viewers to get even more viewers. Now this is where clients can be helped to buy YouTube views from the most reputable service providers. There are various companies which offer these services, however, still bear in mind that there will always be sharks who are ready to rip off from unsuspecting customers. For instance, it is crucial to buy views from real human beings, and not views from some “robot” somewhere. There are myriads of benefits for buying YouTube views from real people.
Furthermore, if you are in need of these views, you must select the service providers carefully. First of all, you should decide about the number or amount of views you need, instead of impressing your peers or something of the sort. In addition, it is equally important to compare price form other service providers, in order to get value for your hard-earned money. But one thing a client needs to take note is ensuring you do not buy cheap fake bot views. Failure to do so will be a precarious move that might even ruin your hard work by getting your YouTube account or video banned.
Buy high retention YouTube views – what are the advantages?
Buying high retention YouTube views offer a much more benefit than the fake views. Firstly, they will lead to immense communication between the viewers in the comments section, and you will have an opportunity to get real time feedback with dislikes and likes. Unfortunately, if you do not buy high retention and quality views, you will not get comments and ratings at the comment section, hence indicate that you are getting fake YouTube views, and it will be easily identified by your potential fans or music enthusiasts. As you can see the way to success is one! If you want to get real high quality views for your YouTube videos, then you should go for high retention views.
Make sure you stay away from any company that offers you thousands of views n 24 to 48 hrs. When you buy real youtube views your video will be promoted daily and you will receive real views on a daily basis until you reach the amount your were looking for.
