How to start a small social media following

Hey everyone! So today, is a blog post piggybacking off of the video that I made a few days ago and I released on Facebook. 

Let’s jump right into it. 

My background 

So just so you know that I’m qualified to teach this,

I just hit 2,100 views in a single month to my Christian music blog. Almost entirely from free promotional methods and organic reach. 

I have hit 30,000 views in a single month to my Facebook videos all from free methods. 

I have hit several thousands of views to individual videos all from free methods. 

And i have earned 1,500 streams to my music that I wrote, sang, produced, and promoted all myself strictly from my promotional efforts that were free. 

So I know how to build that small buzz that you as a musician need. 

I know I’m not like a major social media influencer just YET. 

But the thing is that I got that buzz that musicians need. 

So if you’re trying to get your game to this level, sit down and pay attention cause I’m about to school yourself with some knowledge. 

My Blog

So 80% of all of the work that I’ve ever done has been to write content. That’s literally the grand majority of all the work that I’ve ever done has been to write content on the blog. 

But if you want me to be honest with you. I remember a long time ago just exactly how my blog posts started. They were terrible. 

I remember the sentences weren’t even coherent. 

They were riddled with grammar and punctuation errors and what not. 

It was terrible. 

But the thing is that when I started this blog I had been praying to God to help me to make this blog a reality. 

And so while I was writing in my blog in the early days, I had a friend who had a bachelors in English and she taught me how to write effectively. 

And honestly, I praise the Lord because he provided a teacher in those days to teach me how to write effectively. 

Then the remainder 20% of all the work I ever did was that I made the website look good, setup google search console for my website, and shared on social media. 

Pro tip sharing on social media has been proven to help gain up to 10 times the amount of traffic that you’re currently getting within a few months. 

Personally me, I didn’t start sharing on social media until a few months ago and just recently i started getting thousands of views per month. 

So do with that information what you will. 

My Facebook Videos

Now some of you might have seen some of my Facebook videos and remember that in a lot of the videos that I was posting, I was stuttering a lot. 

But the reason why I still got so many views is because I was focused on doing one thing and that’s adding value to the video. 

What I did was I added so much value to the videos that people overlooked the stuttering that I was doing and liked and viewed my videos regardless. 

You might be wondering, “But German how do you add that much value to the videos to where people don’t care if you’re stuttering?” 

What I did was added concepts from music that aren’t talked about too much on the internet and simplified them so people can understand them. 

So I was really giving professional music advice because I know that professional music advice is not given too much on the internet. 

I mean, there are mixing engineers that give mixing tips, there are guitarists that give guitar tips, and singers that give singing tips. 

But there isn’t a musician on the internet who does it all. 

And if there is then it’s few and far between. 

So I capitalized on that knowledge and shared music knowledge on one account that many musicians have to struggle to find. 

I gave every type of music advice there is. 

From how to write songs, to how to sing, from basic guitar tutorials to how to mix and produce. 

And I taught advanced concepts too because quite frankly a lot of great musicians struggle with Music Theory and things of that nature. 

Broadcast

I sure hope that I have been an inspiration and a hope to you all. Please remember to pray, read your bible, go to church, and love God above all else. Like, comment, share, subscribe, and I will see you all next time.

If you want to go to heaven, then believe in Jesus and you will go to heaven. (John 3:16)

Thank you all for listening in on this blog post. 

German Gonzalez, signing out!

P.S. 

Get ready for a whole mess of songs that are going to come out. 

Quite frankly I’ve already made a whole ton of songs and I shared them with my facebook friends and family and I have received many great reviews. 

It’s time to start releasing them. 

The only thing is that producing and releasing songs takes a long time. 

I mean getting the right take for guitar and vocals alone is a lot, then you have to worry about sound design, mixing, and all that jazz. 

I remember I worked on just a demo and that took me like a whole 24 hours. 

Like that is not a lie. 

Like on my DAW, it has a counter that counts how many hours you spend on a song, and it literally said that I had spent 24 hours on that song. 

And i believe it because it came out really good. 

anyways, Love God above all else Guys, that’s the number on advice i can give
