Great vid. But how much does it differ from an official website that has all the same info?

How did you do the continuous picture in canva? You mentioned the artist putting together their favorite images in Canva. I’m looking at Canva and I can’t figure it out. Can you help?

How'd you add the background images?

some of the features seem really cool but I tried it and it's just impossible to work with.. you can't move stuff to where you want, you can't size photo's how you like, if there's a part you don't like about a template you can't get rid of it so you'll have a random empty area, some of the text you can change the size, other text you cant, can't change the fonts, at least this is all on the free version but it makes me also not want to get the paid thing

Does the trial version allow you to build an EPK?

Thank you for this… some of my favorite artist don’t have an EPK… all they have is Instagram and the wix site they use, is always gone… I guess they are not paying. A lot of independent artist have no marketing skills. They need to hire help. They keep posting on Instagram and sound cloud and that’s it. Can’t really find anything. They expect radio outlets and blogs to just find them and they are not reaching out. Every time I say something to help. Nobody says anything. 😐. I can’t promote an artist without it and I refuse to work for free. Some old school ways of marketing still work too! But a website is crucial. I read one bio and it had emoji’s 😐🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m like who wrote this?. A 5 year old 🤔 the grammar was horrible too!

Great video. I'm really interested in this topic. But the background music was really distracting. Can you please consider making videos without any background music? Because I can easily play my own background music whilst watching your video. But, if you use background music, then there's nothing I can do. There's no way to watch the video without your background music
