3. Pick and choose the best contests
that are valuable for advancement
of your career. Mostly, votes are
the thing every band driven
contest is based on. Some can be
valuable extremely – like perform
with huge artists in festivals.
When your new album has
released and you are going on
tour, yes, it’s completely good
opportunity to encourage your
fans to purchase it. Make sure you
requesting out for action because
if you don’t do this, your fans will
tune you out eventually.

4. Humble and annoying
have very fine line
between. Being humble
is exalting other acts
you love. Being
annoying is paying
tribute to fans for all
their love and support.

5. Fans don’t want to follow bands
that are already safe. They want
to known as rattle-brains who
speak of their minds and who will
stand by their belief. Sure, you
may bugger a few people off, but
you will increase your loyalists
who will stand by your every word
eventually.

6. Asking questions is a way of interaction. These can
be related to your brand like “where should we
tour? Or they can be related to your personality
and interest: “My favorite holiday destination is
Switzerland is yours”. This will encourage
interaction, engagement, between fans and is a
good chance for you to get to what your fans want.
You’ll get the regular comments. The comments
are by your super fans. Assure to keep them in
touch to promote your shows.

7. You should maintain a
balance between the posts
related the band and the stuff
that you are interested in. If
you are interested in
something and post that then
your fans will also get interest
in that and the chance of
sharing will increase. You can
say like “From Your Band” on
Facebook– encouraging your
fans to follow/ Like it.

8. Make sure you’re posting photos and videos
regularly. Make your fans to tag friends on
your photos. Make a room on your page for
like “tag it”. Post videos and photos and ask
questions about that make them to
comment.
You can get your social media sits
interconnected like connect your Instagram
to your Facebook Page. I recommend that if
you post on Facebook to say like “with Ari
Herstand” with the Page tagged then edit
that post Instagram-speak, “with
@ariherstand,”.

9. People like only their photos more than their favorite brand.
Make your street team to send you their photos around your
poster then post them to your Page and ask them to tag
themselves. Creating a Street Team album will also encourage
more people to sign up.
Take a photo of the crowd from the stage (with you in it) when
you are on tour but only if there’s a decent crowd. It can be made
big moment of the show and say your fans that you’re going to
post it on your FB Page and they can go on and tag themselves.
Constantly tagging by your fans on your photos of them is good,
it makes their friends from other towns to see this and it will
encourage them to buy tickets of your show positively.

10. Remember no one will wait for you. If you are not
capable to engage your fans you will lose them. They
will move on. If you intended to post about your
upcoming album or tour assure you come back with
some kind of quality content: a blog post, a video, a
demo, a photo. Yes, tweet from the studio or
somewhere else but post that encourages interaction
and engagement. It may be a tour promo video.
Don’t post something like “new album is coming
soon! Stay tuned!” or like “We’re going on trip! Stay
tuned for dates!” post dates when you have them.

11. It is not meant by to use You Tube as a video hosting
website. It is most interactive way and builds up
channels of subscribers. If you think that just by using
YouTube to post a shot live video in every 3 months you
would gain subscribers then sorry you are in an
imaginary world. For getting more subscribers you have
to post high quality and captivating videos regularly may
in a week. If it is not possible for you to post content
regularly, then assure it that whatever you post on
YouTube is deliberating and high quality. Always add
linking tabs for people to Subscribe to your channel.

12. YouTube is meant to get a deeper glimpse into
who you are. You can post covers (that is an
easy way to get others to find you), but you don’t
have to. You can post music videos or high
quality live videos. You can post vlogs on the
road, in the rehearsal space or at a ball game.
Get creative, but be consistent with the
personality behind the content you post. You
want your YouTube subscriber base to feel
familiar with your channel and you.

13. You are not needed to post something related to
your brand only. It is true that, fans want to get
to know you on an intimate level. They want to
live through you indirectly. So post when you are
doing something not related to your brand. Post
something witty about you tour or about your
leisure time. Highlight some fans who are going
above and beyond to your just friends criteria.
