Promote Your Music Using The New "Reveal” Of Your Cover Art Strategy

Use This Strategy To Create A Buzz For Your Next Music Release

As the music industry continues to evolve record labels are always trying to figure out new marketing methods and ways to build a buzz around their artist music projects. The new music promotion techniques that is being used i the reveal of your mixtape or album artwork strategy. What they do is they contact music blogs with a big following and contact them to reveal the release date and cover art the artist is using for the project.

This strategy is is implemented to get fans/new potential fans talking about the  project and sharing the artwork online which starts to create a buzz for the artist project and lets fans know a video, single , or mixtape is about to drop. Unveiling your mixtape or album artwork is a smart strategy and you can use it to:

Get A Buzz Going With Press And Fans

If you have a dope hi quality mixtape cover design or single cover bloggers will eat this up because good visuals help them also by making their site look professional. But what the labels are doing they contact the top music blogs individually and getting them to do an announcement that the artist is about to release some new music.

This gives you a different way to reveal your new artwork for your release and also it allows  the artist a chance to tell the story behind the music release so they can connect with fans and build curiosity about the project and create a buzz. The bonus of doing it this way is that you will get hell of  exposure to new potential fans because the blogs share this with their readers and on all of their social media platforms.

Some of these blogs have 500,000 plus readers, that could change your music career over night. Here is a link to give you an example of what I’m talking about this  is Lil Boosie artwork reveal blog post Click Here

Generate Pre- Order Sales

It seems like every artist is on the pre order hustle. Pre order this and get exclusive tracks etc etc. Well this is related to the album artwork reveal strategy also. What some artist are doing especially Kevin Gates , and Young Thug are they do the artwork reveal and drop video after video for songs off of  the upcoming project and they  allow you to pre order the music before the release date. and you get exclusive V.I.P behind the access to the creation of the project,exclusive unreleased music, and more.

2. Build A List Fans
Another slick music marketing tactic you can use with artwork reveal technique is you can build an email list of people that not only can you market and pre sale this project to, but you can market to them forever once you have them on an email list this is a powerful tactic.

This is how Beyonce was able to sell 800,000 copies of her project with no advertising. She had a list of over 1 million names and email addresses of people who joined her email list., and she just did an email blast to that list of people and sold 800,000 plus units. The email list is one of the most powerful tools any artist or business owner can have.

Try this tactic before your next music release and you will be shocked at the results, just make sure you have custom attention grabbing cover art.

Music Artist Learn How To Turn $1 Into 500+ Real Music Fans No B.S


Secret Way To Build Your Fan Base

Are you tired of just being a local artist, doing show after show at the same hole in the wall bar hoping you can get discovered  build your music career and get new music fans,but it just ain’t working!

You need to start using facebook ads to promote your mixtape,single,or music video straight up! The world is on Facebook and as you have probably noticed facebook videos are getting tons of views.Facebook ads can get you in front of thousands of new music fans all around the world,and the best thing is they can be targeted and they only cost pennies.

All the clients I work with I make have them apply Facebook ad marketing to their music campaign and every single artist who applied this strategy increased their fan base by at least 40%.

So I wrote this how to article to help all you independent artist to give you gives a technique that will provide you a  real way to grow your fan base and get your music heard.

Step 1.Choose The Objective Of Your Campaign:
fbb1.png

After you login, click "ad manager" on your Facebook homepage,and then click on the "create ad tab.After that you will see a page like the screenshot above that has 10 different options for promotion.Some of these option won’t apply to musicians,but I’m gonna give you a quick rundown on the objectives that apply to you the musician.

Promote your page

This option is  the most common choice used by artist.This objective will get your Facebook Fan page in front of new potential fans at ease.You can target all you ads and promote to people who like arist similar artist that are in the same lane as you,or you can base off demographics tailored toward you market.

Raise attendance at your event


This option will give your next upcoming show, cd release party etc an extra boost.This ad will place you event in front of your whole metro area for pennies.Once again with the ad targeting option your can target people who attend rap shows or whatever your genre is and increase your events exposure guaranteed. Honestly it’s hard for most local acts to have a big turn out to their shows because nobody knows about it. Well lucky for you this problem won’t exist anymore after you read this e.

Get video views

Facebook video ads are the shit point blank period. For one their videos plays a non stop teaser of your video once you upload so it grabs people’s attention asap.So when you combine that with a targeted video ad campaign it equals more fans and more exposure.
How do you think you see music artist videos who aren’t from your local area on Facebook you were apart of their targeted ad campaign.

Send people to your website

Hey, that sounds straightforward, right? Well, you can do much more than just your website. Along with your band page, you can also use this feature to send folks into your iTunes store, YouTube channel, or any other relevant outlet.

These are the main options you will use as an independent artist when you’re running a Facebook ads campaign

 How to target your ad's reach

fbb2.png 











After you select your objective the next page is the targeting ad section.This is the fun stuff. This is where you pick who you want to target your ad to.You can target people by age,location,and interests. You want to be as detailed as possible I will explain each section below.

Location

This is pretty much self explanatory if you’re trying to promote a local show you have coming up in Omaha, Nebraska then you only want to target that city and surrounding areas,but if you’re going on a tour you could target the cities you going to perform in,or if you have a new song you want to get to the world you can promote it worldwide.This is pretty easy just use common sense and you will be fine.,

Age and gender
Gender, you don’t have to worry about because we’re targeting guys and girls so you can select the both option. Now when it comes to selecting an age group to target with your music  I would select 18 to 35 now don’t get me wrong there might be some old school cats that like your music that are in their 40’s and 50’s,but were trying to target people we know are using the internet all the time.

Interests

This is real all the good stuff happens lol.In his section you can decide who see your ad based on the information they provided when they set up their Facebook account,pages they’ve liked ,or purchased and more. Make sure your ad is detailed the more detail the more effective the ad is.Here are a couple of word prhases you shoud use to find your target market.I would search off similar artist,genre, and keywords such like “people who like trap music.”  Just make sure detailed and creative when you select your interests.

Setting your budget
Most musicians don’t even bother with Facebook ads because they're unaware of how affordable they are and how they can help grow their music following, and increase their profits.  The fact is you can run a targeted campaign for only $5 dollars a day.I repeat only $5 dollars a day so it’s cheaper to build your music fan base using Facebook ads then it is  to buy a combo meal from Mcdonalds.

I know right now you’re thinking if that’s the case why doesn’t every artist do it? Well its because all of the social media marketers and music marketing companies want to charge you an arm and a leg to set up a campaign for you when it’s easy as hell to do.Honestly a lot of marketers are going to be pissed that I’m giving this game away,but I’m in it to help artist succeed, I’m not trying to milk artist for all the money like these companies,I understand what artist go through because I’m an artist myself .

Facebook determines how many ads your people will reach based on how much you narrowed down your audience through the age and interests section.

For example let's say you chose ages 18 to 35 who live in the Us who are interested in rap music, rap concerts, Kevin Gates,Migos, Young Jeezy, and Meek Mill.

.Here is how much you spend daily and how many people your ad will be in front of which turns io views,likes,etc:

  • $5 per day: 515 to 1,280 people everyday
  • $15 per day: 1,400 to 4,500 people everyday
  • $25 per day: 2,600 to 6,500 people everyday

Ad copy and graphics


fbb3.png
Don’t get intimidated when you see you have t create a graphic it’s nothing like creating a mixtape cover or anything like that. All you have to do here is use your cover photo or any high quality photo you would like to use. and dd whatever text you would like to put on your picture.

For example if you targeted people who like Jay Z with your ads ,on your ad graphic you might put if you like Jay z you have to hear this new artist  Click here. Then have your ad redirect them to an email list capture page on your website where you collect emails.

                                                                                                                                                     Just remember to always make sure your ad copy matches your graphic!

Get Your Own Personal Mixtape Cover Designer

Since the early days of music, one thing still remains the same. Musicians all around the world are always looking for ways to make themselves stand out from the crowd of musicians in the competitive music business. With the oversaturation of music and artist nowadays, you have to go above and beyond to standout and with so many new artist appearing on the music scene daily and as such, they make it harder for any other musician that actually has talent to make it to the top.
One of many ways musicians use to promote themselves and grab fans attention is by having  eye catching professional mixtape covers or single cover designs.Your artwork is what makes people want to check out your music so it needs to be amazing. But there is more to making a mixtape cover than meets the eye. For example, every musician out there has one, so what separates yours from your competition. This and many other question are just some that we will try to answer and clarify in this article.

Why mixtape covers are an effective way of promotion?

For starters, it’s the first thing that music fans see when they’re trying to find some music to listen to or download. So it’s needless to say that the artists that have a dope mixtape cover design usually grab  people’s attention instantly and their mixtapes are the ones that people checkout.It only makes since just think if you were on Livemixtape and you have a shitty ass cover cmpared to all the high quality work on their site do you think people would even give your mixtape a chance? Hell No! . But there is more than one thing to consider when you want to design a mixtape cover that actually catches the eye. While most of these things can only be viewed from the angle of  the design, it’s worth noting them.
  • Complementary colors
  • Images that stick to your mind
  • Images that are primarily noticeable
  • Easy to read text
All of the above mentioned aspects are always implemented in a well-designed mixtape cover, and as such, if they are utilized correctly they can prove to be a promotion tool which is better than any other, mostly because  there are so many online music sites where your mixtape cover can be seen clearly.

The structure of your mixtape cover

It’s needless to say that your mixtape cover needs to resemble the music style that you prefer. So it’s pointless for a rapper to put skulls on their mixtape cover just because they look cool and are easily noticeable. It makes a lot more sense to put dollar bills on your mixtape cover as a rapper, as they are also an image that actually catches your eye as well as it stick to the subject matter. What we are trying to say is the fact that there are always motives and images that can be implemented in your mixtape cover that suite your preferred music style. Things to consider while composing your ideal mixtape cover:
  • Images where you get your inspiration from
  • Strong motives that influence your music

False advertising!

This is a fact that most musicians fail to understand, it is possible to false advertise yourself when it comes to music and your mixtape cover. While the fact remains that your mixtape cover needs to resemble your music, a lot of musicians neglect that fact. The result is a false advertising mixtape cover which fails to tell people what the music is all about. This ultimately leads to bad album reviews, and unhappy fans. And let’s face it, nobody likes to buy a gangsta rap album just so they could realize that it’s some old school type of rap, in which they have no interest in.
Who makes the best mixtape covers?
While designing a small picture for your mixtape cover can be considered an easy task, in truth it’s not. Making a well-designed and well oriented mixtape cover is a task that you should leave to the professionals. As a musician you probably already know that you need to invest in yourself and in your music if you ever want to make it to the top, you have to make sure all your graphics are on point as we  stated before it is the first thing people see when they look at your album and it will effectively make your fan base bigger as well as it will increase your profit margins. So with everything we stated above, a professional designer is the best person that you should be looking for when you need your mixtape cover art designed, but bear in mind that you should always look for a professional mixtape cover  designers that are oriented towards your genre of music, as they have a much greater chance of achieving success.
Professional designers are too expensive!
This is true, to a certain extent but there are a couple sites online like http://www.MixtapeCoverKing.com they have some of the best graphics I’ve seen and their rates are very affordable and they have a quick truaround.  in a short amount of time you will find the best person which is suited for your job and your needs, and the odds are that the designer in question works for a lot less money than an actually graphic design firm.
Everything aside,your gonna have to invest some money into your music career which you should be doing anyway and don’t try to take the free ride it will only backfire in your face and destroy your brand trying to be cheap.n
Mixtape covers are a great marketing tool especially if you just release the mixtape graphics first to build a buzz about your project . They are your professional 24/7 door to door salesman that require no additional money when they are launched, and as such they will prove to be well worth your time and money. Just image your mixtape cover being the best one out of the bunch found on online music sites like iTunes.

How To Hustle Your Music On Twitter

Ok you finished up recording and you got your mixtape cover completed and your ready to release your music, but you really don't know alot of places online to promote your mixtape well today I'm gonna tell how you can use twitter to get listeners to your music and building your following at the same time.Twitter is one of the most slept on sites to use for music marketing everybody just wants to post on facebook to their group of friends and they wonder why their music career isn't going anywhere.Twitter is a highly active site and there are some slick tools out there for Twitter that you can use to get in font of thousands of target music fans.

You need to be using www.justunfollow.com this site allows you to find people by keywords for example you could type in Atlanta Dj's and it would pull up all the Atlanta Dj's you can add at the click of a button without having to do all the research yourself.A slick thing to do when your releasing your mixtape is to add music fans from other rappers with a huge following that your music is similar to. For example if you have a sound like T.I.  you can literally take his twitter Id and out it in the search field on this site and it will bring up all his followers and you can add them at a click of a button and the good thing also about justunfollow is that it will show you the last time they were online so you know its an active account and you can't beat that.Justufollow has a paid and free option and honestly I have never had to purchase the paid versions because the results I get from the free option the only downside is that with the free version you can only add 200 people a day which is still great thats 4,800 people month.

Another way to search twitter for music fans is right on Twitters search you can in any phrase bar and type in whatever your looking for but type it in  parenthesises  and it will pull up profiles using those keywords that were recently online and you can add them instantly.So if your looking for a way to add Twitter fans by the masses to promote your mixtape or single I guarantee this will work.
