Nowadays musicians have been driving more streaming numbers with the digital age trends. Apart from creating and producing music; successful music marketing strategies also play a huge role in their music career's growth. - Clovis AP
A huge volume of songs are uploaded on streaming platforms on a daily basis. The challenge to the musician is to be among the selected ones who will reach deeply and emotionally their audience through music. The ones with a successful marketing strategy will take the win here.
Mostly for independent artists, these strategies will save you not only bucks but headaches too. Let's start with:
1. Have a clear understanding of your audience
Here you will need to know your audience often called fanbase, their traits, location, going also to what they like: their tastes.
This will strengthen your marketing strategy and set you ahead due to you knowing your target audience.
2. Don't forget your fans you already have when looking for new ones
While in your quest for new fans, the ones you already have are so important too and worth your time. Never cease to engage with them, share your ideas, projects, plans, and so on using various marketing strategies like email marketing, posts on your artist website if you have one, music blogs and streaming platforms playlists. Doing this will not only help you stay in touch with your fans but also remind them to share with people they know which will expand your reach and most likely get you new fans.
From there you can send them to your music page, merch, video and more.
3. Get your social media marketing strategy on point
Use social media as a tool or way to share almost every highlight of your music and life. Share videos, photos, blogs and more; but most importantly, make content that is engaging and stands out. Content is King, remember that!
The ability to share links on your social media, whether in the bio or post, will allow you to send traffic to your music page, website, etc.
Sharing your story has never been this easier, here you have to craft your social media marketing strategy so well. Avoid stale content, and pump more diverse stories mixing both your music life and life outside music to help your audience know you better and connect you to embrace your music organically as well as with paid ads.

4. Build a community
Your fans are everything for your music career to take off, that's why I advise you not to let them go, instead build a community where they will all get connected to you and your music.
This community will help you get your message across easier, giving them updates on your releases, merch and even subscriptions to your different projects. This marketing strategy will help you leverage a lot of opportunities, so, do not miss out.
5. Get your music out there...Get your name out there
For every stage of your music promotion, getting your music and your name out there will create a buzz effect that will not only help you grow as a musician but also get to reach new fans, and new connections and open doors for new opportunities.Do not forget to always send your music to blogs, streaming platforms playlists, press and media outlets, radios, deejays, and more. For some, you will need connections, and for others, just you sending or getting in touch via email and sending your work will be enough.
At CAP WORLD Top Life we also help musicians get featured in music blogs, playlists, press and media outlets; in case you want us to help you with that, get in touch with us.
6. Sell your music on your own website
Wait, Can I do that?Oh yes, you can... I know you have been thinking your music can only be sold on music streaming platforms and other music marketplaces; which is not totally true, because you as an artist can create your own website or online shop and start selling your music, merch, tickets and more items on your own too.
This way you keep 100% of your profits.
You will need a direct-response marketing strategy along with your fanbase community and paid ads to drive traffic to your website and get sales.
How about that?
7. Pay for a PR and Radio campaign
Well, as they say, If you want to go far, go alone, and if you want to go further, go together.
You can always do things on your own to a certain degree, beyond that you are going to need people, not only your fans but a team or agencies to help you grow.
Getting your song on the radio can help a lot with charts, and having a great music PR strategy will always set you apart from the rest. We are dedicated to your success as much as you do.
