Do you really need to record and release a series of albums to ‘make it’?

For now, many mainstream artists still choose to record and release albums - you might not have to!

On this episode, the Nashville Unsigned team takes on the question that has become increasingly important, and often unasked by independent artists.

In the age of music streaming, ADD culture, and market saturation; many artists, including many mainstream artists have changed their tune on releasing their tunes in the form of singles.

While albums may have been the industry standard release strategy for what seems like forever, times have changed.

The process of writing, recording, mixing, mastering, marketing and then finally releasing an album is an expensive and time consuming process, and may benefit certain artists. For example, you may choose to record and release a full album to showcase a certain idea over a series of songs, or capture a moment in time. But for many independent artists on a budget, recording and releasing singles provides an opportunity to grow awareness, engage with your audience and make a little money in the process!

Insta Secrets for Indie Artists

This episode of the Nashville Unsigned Podcast is all about Instagram marketing.  Sure, you may know your way around this photo-driven social media platform, but have you ever considered how much influence it actually holds?

With Facebook stuck in a rut of political drama and marketing saturation, Instagram is primed to be a better solution.  Though, of course, Instagram is owned by Facebook, its platform is a new favorite for many digital marketers who are tired of the Facebook drama.  It’s a visual platform that easily translates to your other social media outlets.  With a click of a button, you can post across Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  All you have to do is take a photo.

Recently, the folks at Instagram (Facebook) have borrowed from Snapchat to create stories.  Therefore, you can connect with your followers from two different directions.  This allows you to promote your music, live sessions, and concerts in a way that doesn’t blow up your followers’ newsfeed.  Thing is, that’s just the start of it.

Instagram Marketing for Independent Artists

Now, your able to do so much more.  Everything from video chats to live streaming has been added to the platform, making Instagram marketing more viable than ever.  Consider the fact that you can live stream a concert, then save it to your story, then post a behind the scenes photo to your wall.  Finally, artists have a strong alternate to Facebook for their social media needs.

Want to know more about what Instagram can do for your music?  Just check out the episode above as we dive deep into this social media rabbit hole.

WTF is an EPK you ask?  Your electronic press kit is a vital piece of marketing and branding material you use to book shows, get interviews, and overall promote your music.  In this episode of the Nashville Unsigned Podcast, we cover the vitals of what to place in your EPK and how it benefits your music career.

First, we suggest thinking long and hard about your brand.  Are you a hard-kicking heavy metal heart-throb?  Are you a cognitive country music singer and songwriter?  Like, what’s your vibe, man?

When you know exactly who you are, you have to make palpable to everyone else.  This is where an EPK comes in.  Grab some headshots that express your creative flair, collect some samples of your music, and write yourself a little bio.  It is important that all of these things are cohesive to your image.  As a result, venues, show-promoters, magazines, or whoever you’re trying to impress will get a clear image of who you are.  Above all, stay true to that image.  It’s easier to be real than fake a façade.

 

So, WTF is an EPK?  It's your branded musical resume.

Think about it as a resume.  People who are booking shows and festivals need to find a certain style that vibes with their event.  Do you think your Americana pop sound is going to fit in at a punk rock festival?  Probably not.  Therefore, cater your image to the correct demographic.  It’s true that uniqueness is vital, but you at least have to be genre-adjacent.  In other words, create something true to yourself, but keep in mind where you sound would fit in.  When this is understood, you’ll be finding much more success in landing gigs in the right places.

Networking Online is new frontier for many of us.  Sure, we’ve all been using social media for well over a decade, but we want to flesh out what exactly digital networking is.

In the age of social media, for better or worse, much of our interactions with each other happen online.  This has changed the dynamics of how we socialize, market and even spend our money.  The truth is, connections are made digitally every day, every second and every hour.  Thing is, there are so many options in the social media world for you to expand your reach, including niche platforms for music like Soundcloud, Bandcamp and Nashville Unsigned.

In fact, you can bet this episode will appear on several of these platforms.

Networking Online is promotion.

At the very least, your digital network is a starting point.  First of all, it connects you with potential fans (which is kind of a big deal).  Facebook is notoriously great for finding and interacting with fan bases, but it would greatly benefit you to look outside of the obvious.  Secondly, you can find live events for more face-to-face networking with a click of a button.  Facebook makes it ridiculously easy to find such events.  Come to think of it, so does our Nashville Unsigned event calendar.

To sum this episode up, it’s important to diversify your marketing plan online.  It’s just as important to diversify the platforms you interact on.  Finally, consistency is vital to success.  If you don’t interact with your fans, how are they going to know you love them right back?

If you want to learn more about networking in general, specifically in person, check out our previous episode HERE.  As always, let us know your opinion on what makes good networking happen.  On top of that, let us know what other episodes you would like Nashville Unsigned to produce.  What topics of conversation are important to you?
