Many independent artists who are trying to break into music keep making mistakes that take them away from their goals. I am going to tell you about some of these mistakes so that from today you can start avoiding them and you can get a little closer to your goals.
1. NOT HAVING A DEFINED ARTISTIC BRAND
- A personal brand is much more than having a logo.
- Find what sets you apart and enhance it to stand out from the crowd.
- It’s okay to be inspired by other artists, but be genuine.
- Make your sound unique too, make the music you like even if it is not what “everyone” listens to.
2. NOT KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE/FANS
- Listen to what your audience / your fans want.
- Worry more about the quality of your followers than the quantity.
- Interact with your followers: reply to comments, comment on their posts, go live,…
3. HAVING NO STRATEGY OR PLANNING
- It is not enough to have a good song and upload it to Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
- If you need ideas, I have another post in which I propose an 8-week strategy to release your new single. Check it out!
And you, have you made or are you still making any of these mistakes? Leave a comment.
