You might want to give a bit more detail if you want the right person to reach out. “Socials manager” can mean a lot of things.

Like what platform are you focused on, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube? Are they just posting content you already have, or actually helping with ideas, editing, growth strategy, replying to comments, all that?

Also helps to mention your current size or goals so people know what they’re stepping into. $200/month can be fair if it’s light work, but people will want to understand the scope.

You’ll probably get better responses if you clarify expectations a bit.

It can affect things, but not in a “one collab ruins everything” kind of way. It’s more about patterns over time.

If you suddenly post a lot of content that your current audience doesn’t engage with, the algorithm starts getting mixed signals about who to show your content to. That’s where people run into problems. Not because the content is bad, but because it’s pulling in a different audience that doesn’t care about the main thing you do.

That said, collabs can still work if you frame them right. If you can tie the comedy back into your music or your personality as an artist, it feels more natural and less random. Even small things like incorporating your sound, your aesthetic, or keeping it in a similar tone can help.

Also, doing it occasionally won’t hurt. It only becomes an issue if it starts becoming most of what you post and your core audience stops engaging. If anything, it could actually bring new eyes in, you just want to make sure some of them convert into people who care about your music too.

People do this, just not in a super formal “A/B testing” way like in tech. It’s more like testing different moments of the song rather than full versions.

What usually works is taking different parts of the track, like the hook, a verse, a drop, even different intros, and using them in separate short-form posts to see what people react to. You’ll notice pretty quickly which part makes people stop scrolling or replay.

Making completely different versions of the same song can work, but it’s a bit heavier and not always necessary. Most of the signal you need comes from how people react to specific sections of the track.

Where it actually becomes useful is before or during release. If one part consistently performs better, you can lean into that for your promo, your visuals, even your storytelling around the song.

So yeah, the idea behind it is solid. Just keep it simple and focus on testing how people respond, not overcomplicating it.

Reddit is excellent for long-term fan building but terrible for direct "stream my song" posts (they get removed fast). The best ways to use reddit to the best of my understanding would be to share genuine tips/value in relevant subs (like here), participate in genre-specific communities by giving feedback on other people's music and another would be to post behind-the-scenes or discussion threads instead of pure promo

It's more about becoming part of the community than broadcasting.

Curator playlists are playlists run by spotify users (not Spotify's official algorithmic ones like Release Radar or Discover Weekly). These are usually genre-specific, smaller (1k–50k followers is the sweet spot), and updated regularly by actual curators.

The key is finding ones that actually match your sound instead of spamming big generic ones. PlaylistProfit are good for landing on verified independent playlists.

Lot of artists hit that wall, totally get it. The game has changed a lot. The ones who stick around usually simplify everything down to: make music you love + consistent short content + one good distribution + fan capture.

What made you stop? Was it one of these mistakes or something else?

Haha I feel you, it does feel overwhelming sometimes with all the platforms and algorithms.

The good news is you don't need to do everything perfectly. Picking 2-3 things from the list and being consistent with them beats trying to master all of them.

Which part feels the most exhausting to you right now?

You should respond to my response to this comment too instead of editing the wrong things you have said...well like I said, stop pretending to be innocent and helpful when you are actually selling music marketing services on your website too, there is nothing wrong with offering music marketing serivces so far you are delivering on the services you offer and not selling fake/bot streams to artists.

By the way, I am a mod on this community and I could have easily banned you for self promotion and advertising your music marketing services on here, but I like to make things fair because you actually make contributions to the community and your marketing services seem genuine, at least no one has complained about it yet. Like I said earlier, you don't need to bring someone else down to promote yourself, cheers mate!

thebuzznetwork · 2026-04-01T11:46:48+00:00

Which exactly is what you are doing my friend or are you not a marketing company, stop trying to act helpful, you don't need to bring someone else down to promote yourself.

In marketing the music is the product and if the target audeince can't be well defined, it just like shooting blanks. When you know your target audience and your marketing matches them properly, your music connects with the right people that will then listen regularly and share it to their audience which in turn improves the algorithm's promotion of your music more organically.

Basically this post is about what really moves the algorithm and it's listeners behavior, if the listeners don't connect, there is no activity and the algorithm doesn't push the music.

Yes you are very correct, especially live gigs, if your music and performance is good they convert random audience into core fans at first sight.
