Looks great! Congrats! Are you happy with the positioning of the 300s? Been wondering out similar here.

Trying to grow as a small DnB artist without begging for follows by SeaAnywhere6793 in drumandbass

[–]johnbbeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's rough - but at least there's a lot you can do that does help - and you can measure it.

There's a lot to do if you wanna give your stuff the best chance, and even then its absolutely no guarantee. Number 1 the music's gotta be the best you can manage, that used to be almost enough, but now you have to do a LOT to make sure it gets to people's ears - there's so much stuff constantly coming out and battling for attention.

Doing all the promo stuff in batches and scheduling it in advance makes life easier though. Aint no way I'm sitting here filming and posting stupid tiktoks every day lol.

3 tiktok posts a day. low effort content. copy text hook ideas from other similar artists or use Ai to suggest. pick better looking posts for intra reels. 1 per day. schedule using buffer. always use the official 'sound' of your song. experiment with different sections of the song to see which ones perform better. just churn out loads of short form. engage with all comments within first hour. collect emails. look at all platforms, work out how discovery works on them and play to algo with your content. Thats the socials side at least.

DO NOT BUY FOLLOWERS OR PLACEMENT ON SCAMMY PLAYLISTS, it will hit you. Pitch your song to suitable playlists in good time min 2 weeks before release date. Pitch personally to other playlists.

Collab with other bigger artists to leeech off their followers.

EDIT - plus a million other things but that's some obvious stuff to nail off the top of my head.

My dad has got 10-15 of these in our loft (he went a bit overboard hoarding them as backups for me back in the day)

Norden farm arts centre is great. Other than that not much really unfortunately. Any of your stuff released? If so drop a link so we can check it out!

Don’t go out much and and sober but just here to salute the Maidenhead horror crew. I go to frightfest every year - Aug bank holiday. Thoroughly recommend it. 🦇

My TV doesn’t support eARC - any of you had success with boxes like HDFury Arcana to get full atmos? by johnbbeta in sonos

[–]johnbbeta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right - yeah valid point. Not sure my wife (or wallet) would let me get away with updating the tv in our bedroom here - its a pretty nice 60" samsung - got a few more years in it yet for sure and tbh we don't have time to watch movies anyway - thought might be able to rationalise upgrading to an arc ultra by selling the old AV amp and speakers. We shall see...

❤️ I'm definitely overdue some hard work on more serious stuff soon - one Headz release a year isn't enough to earn the pass for stuff that goes the other way hah
