So there are a lot of things that people should do in order to market their music correctly.
However, for the starving artist, we can’t really rely on traditional marketing methods because they are just too expensive.
That’s where internet marketing comes in.
Before we get into this topic, let’s have our moment of silence.
At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray to God to help us to become the people that he wants us to become. Take a minimum of 5 minutes and pray to God for these things.
Now back to the show
How to create content more rapidly.
Ultimately, all of our marketing efforts should go into making more content.
At the beginning of our music careers, especially at the beginning of our music careers, we often don’t have money to spend on T.V., Radio, or internet ads.
And even though internet ads do have a high return on investment because they directly target your audience, it’s not the best way to promote your music.
What has an even better return on investment is creating content on a consistent basis.
However, how can you create more content easily? How can you practice creating content?
Well there are a few things that I would recommend that actually help me to come up with ideas.
With that being said, here are some brainstorming techniques that you could use to create more content, faster.
Use traditional brainstorming techniques for writing essays.
I honestly use traditional brainstorming techniques to write my content. And there are a few of those. If you don’t know or want a refresher as to what they are, here are some of the techniques that I use.
- Free Writing. Sometimes I’ll just start writing about a topic and I’ll let my mind wander on the screen. Sometimes, I like what I have, make my edits, and then publish it. Of course there is some editing and proofreading that I do, but sometimes I really do like what I’ve just written. I make sure it sounds cohesive and concise and then I might publish it. However, other times, I will freewrite and I have to decide what I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. And then I have to form cohesive sentences to make a good blog post. Freewriting is essentially that, just letting your mind wander on paper or a screen and getting ideas just to flow onto paper. Don’t be scared to look like a fool because you can make a lot of ideas by doing this.
- Clustering/Webs. Another thing that I do is I create webs and clusters in order to tie directly what I want to say with other ideas. I might even make sentences that point to other ideas just to add more explanations. This is another good way to get a lot of other ideas down. I might even pair freewriting with clustering in order to make ideas and then organize my thoughts all into one main idea. I will also use other clusters in order to come up with future ideas.
- Just create content. Another good idea is to just create content and not worry about the outcome. Sometimes, we really do get stumped and we can’t figure out what to do next. Sometimes we feel like we’ve written everything that there is to know about music and music creation. When that happens, just do your best to make another piece of content and don’t worry about the views or the likes or what it will do to your SEO. The reason is because everyone fails at different times in their careers. So don’t go so hard on yourself and say that you can never fail. Don’t be scared to fail because failure isn’t an option, it’s a requirement!
- Take a break. I often will write a lot. I will write for an hour at a time sometimes two and then I will take a little break. It’s difficult to constantly create content that revolutionizes people’s minds and changes lives. So go easy too. Lighten up a little bit because this is the long game. However, the more consistent you write, the more often you write, the more your search rankings will increase and the more that people will notice you. Work hard and play hard
