Here are 4 valuable tips to boost an artiste’s social media game.
1. Ask Engaging Questions:
Be sure to ask engaging questions like:
Who do you want me to collaborate with next?
How did you hear about me or my music?
What’s your favorite song of mine?
What’s your favorite album?
What color shirts should I print up with this new design? Questions act as a engagement tool to see what your fans want or like so you can serve them better.
2. Agree To Disagree:
When a fan posts a comment that you don’t agree with, respect their opinion and ensure your response is neutral instead of defensive or argumentative. Who knows, you may win them over. If they get upset or offended by something you have said, done, or posted, ignore them. Chances are they are not true fans you want to keep so don’t put any energy into it. This helps to filter out fans you shouldn’t be engaging with anyways.
3. Balance Self Promotion:
One of the best ways NOT to engage fans is to annoy them with constant self-promotional messages to buy. If all your posting is links to buy tickets to your show or places to buy your music, chances are you’ve lost your fan’s attention and in some cases, respect. Doing this just shows that you only care about the money and not the fan relationship.
4. See What’s Trending:
A good way to get your fan’s attention is to post about what is currently trending on the internet. Of course, you want it to be relevant to your brand or music in some way.
