My Social Media Story

Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to share with you all how it all started with my blog and how God prevailed in my blog

You might be wondering to yourself, “German, how do I make a decent amount of views to my blog?” Or maybe, “How can I get streams to my music from social media and my website?” 

Or my favorite, “German, I’m a starving artist and I have no money, HELP PROMOTING?!?!” 

All of that is going to be answered here.

So Let’s get to it.

Why should you want a social media following?

When I was 19, I had no idea what I was doing. 

I was 19 and I was working my first job and I already felt the humbleness of being the new guy in the job. 

It was humbling and difficult to be new to the workforce. 

I will admit that there were a lot of lessons i needed to learn at that age, but I already wanted to start my own business. 

I didn’t know what I wanted to start my own business in, but I wanted to start my own business. 

I thought about selling shirts, I thought about starting a restaurant. But honestly, I had no idea where to start. 

So I went to the local library to see what resources they had for business owners and honestly, i had no idea what to look for so I just started by picking up business books. 

I picked up some business books by some people who looked like they knew what they were doing. 

Millionaire CEOs, Small business owners, and a few books from the Small business Administration. 

And I started reading it and all of the books, and I mean ALL OF THE BOOKS, said that I needed to start a social media following. Specifically, they said that I needed to start a blog. 

And I knew what a blog was, it’s basically a website that has articles of information on it. 

Now keep in mind that I had little to no work experience. I have been the leader of a few bands in my high school career, but that’s about it. 

And so I read that and I left it at that because i said to myself, “I just can’t do it because I’m not that good of a writer.”

So i left it at that. 

Music marketing 101

Then I tried my hand at being a professional musician again. 

I knew I had the skill, but I needed the business side of music in order to really succeed. 

So I picked up a couple of books from musicians on how to really succeed in music in this day and age. 

And guess what ALL of the books said I needed to do? 

They said that I needed a social media following. 

Specifically, they said that I needed a blog. 

And I thought to myself, “How badly do I need a blog to achieve my dreams?”

I mean if the business books say I need a blog, and the music books say I need a blog, I just need a blog. 

Now when I read this, I grew up a little bit, and I didn’t let my inept ability to write stop me from achieving my dreams. 

I actually started doing what all Christians do when they don’t know what to do. 

I started praying. 

And I prayed to God to help me find a way to make a blog a reality. 

Fast forward a little bit. 

I started working for a non-profit. 

And Me personally I never turn down a paycheck, and they asked me if I could write in the blog that they had, and I said, I am not a good writer, and they said, “Just try.” 

And so they put me in this course that taught me everything I needed to know how to blog. Specifically the course taught me how to be a social media manager for a company. 

And I got certified in social media management. 

And I learned how to blog and make a successful blog. 

All because the Lord was glorious. 

I prayed to God and he answered. Like he always does.

Thank you all for listening in on this blog post. 

German Gonzalez, signing out!

P.S. I want to release a series of songs on Apple Music and Spotify because I quite frankly have made a ton of songs over the years and actually I showed them to my closest friends and family on my Facebook page and I got quite frankly a good set of reviews from them. 

I got thousands of views on individual videos and i think that, that’s success. 

I just never have time to record and produce them. 

Like how you guys know recording, and producing songs takes a good amount of time and I just think it takes too long. 

But hey, I might do it some day. 

Just might.
