"Repetition builds your reputation" so good🙌🏼

[BuffaloStaple]

Uploading this right after i pay full price for distrokid’s middle tier is elite comedic timing 🤣🤣

[MusicByLIFE]

I started going in more on YouTube and it has been the biggest influence on hitting 1k+ monthly listeners on Spotify 🙏

It’s all just short form content for now but this reminded me to start making long form content on here too for the subscribers that are already here!

The last note is the most crucial one and I realized this earlier this year specially with tiktok livestreming how some people are able to just build audiences from the get go. It's unfortunate that I don't have the environment for livestreaming (a room of my own) but the minute I do I'll get to it

[WU_Music]

Just the best time for me! Thank you!😊

[MattLeFaitMusic]

I would love to see a YouTube growth series from you!

I can attest to youtube being the real driver of fans. Along with the organic push, youtube ads convert the most fans in my experience (as long as you have a good thumbnail and you put effort into the content)

[thulsa_doom]

[carlvargas]

I would love a video on in depth email marketing

[its.dublayemusic]

im struggling to figure out how to convert new listeners who might drop a once off comment, to being a genuine fan that wants to support

[SooraSterlingMusic]

I have a question. If I post my music online, how can I protect my work from being stolen? I know there are legal actions and everything, but I live with my parents and I'm currently a dental student, so they’ll freak out if they find out I’m doing music instead of focusing on my studies.💀 is there another way?-….

[jordanryals]

Yessss! Series of “How-To’s” pleeaassee! 🎉🎉❤

[aaronasissoard]
