 Alright, as many of you already know, this year we're going to be dropping a lot of information, not just on how you grow your fan base, but how you actually sell merch in all of the tactics and strategies that not only help you sell it, but more importantly, help provide a true value relationship between you and the community that you're trying to build. Because your merch should be some representation of your community, what you stand for, even if that's just you, as an artist, right? Hey, I support this artist. What do you stand for? But then if I have somebody that stands for being one of my fans, or they stand for running this race against the industry or self love, whatever your thing is, right? If people stand for this, that's great, and they're going to be marketing that when they wear your merch. But how can they connect with you as well? How can you provide value beyond the merch? And that's when we get to one of our personal ideas for how we're going to do our merch, because you guys know we're going to chronicle our entire journey. For those of you who don't know, we already started a pre-order merch process for our very first ever drop, right? And you should go check it out so you can see how this look is very simple, nothing fancy, and we're going to report to you later as we grow and move with it. But the important thing that we're doing when we do this is not just dropping it, just to drop it, and then, hey, let's try to make some money and keep moving, is far beyond that for us. We already have people who have been supporting us, watching our channel. We already have people who have been liking our videos, people who we've done business with, people who we've met in person. This has been happening for some time. And if you have a fan base in this space, you built some type of support in this space, then you need to be mindful about how you go about your first drop. This is something that we're doing that you can borrow. For our very first drop ever, we're doing a day one support marker. For our day one fans, we have people who've been following us for years. I just was on the phone with somebody who'd been following me for three, four years, and we've never had merch. So for people who buy in this first drop, go to the page. By the way, this is live. This is really a thing that's happening. June 19th is the deadline. So hop in and buy if you want to be a part of this. Go to nolabelsnecessary.com because the people who buy are part of our limited release day one supporter line, right? But what does that mean? Number one, that merch is going to have a special marker on it that lets us know and everybody know that, yo, you got in on the day one drop, which means you had to be following us since the beginning because we didn't let everybody know. We're not running ads to cold audiences. This is only to people who are on our email list who are already following us on our pages. We're not doing any extra push. Like we're texting some people that we already have numbers for the day ones are the day ones and we're considering people who've been following us at least up until this point already because where we're about to go with things in the future. Oh, it's definitely beyond day one now, but this is the groundwork. So our day ones are going to have a special marker and for anybody who buys as a part of that limited edition, which is only going to be available for seven days for this preorder, those people will get special access to things from us, right? Whether we're doing an event at some point in the future, we might provide something special for them, whether that's like a quick talk one on one with them or it might be, hey, you got our day one patch on your hoodie. That means we might give you free access to a course or maybe we have some extra times to hop on a call to do some marketing strategies. We don't know everything that we're going to do, but we know for our day ones, we're going to continue to acknowledge you guys and do something special, even maybe drop your music on our Instagram page because our page is going to grow. Best believe the focus we're putting on our social now, check what is looking like in January of 2023 versus today where we only have like 5000 followers on Instagram. But the point is we're going to show our day one supporters love. So if you already have people who are following you, whether that's five people, whether that's 500 people, and especially if you haven't done something like Drop Merch, make sure you do it in a way that acknowledges people. Make sure you mark a moment in time for people. So then as you continue to grow, you can still identify those people who were there since the beginning. Again, we appreciate y'all because if you see this video, you were probably a part of the day one drop. You've probably been watching us for a while. You learned on the email list, text list, or just the YouTube algorithm delivered our video to you because you've already seen our videos before. I don't see this becoming a viral video. Acknowledge the people who have been rocking with you and they can continue to build from there. And there's different ways you'll see us do it over time. Shout out to the day twos. We're looking for some day two supporters too and some day three supporters. We want to keep getting more and more supporters as we grow this brand, this No Labels Necessary brand that's set up to continue to be able to help us build infrastructure that allows us to serve creative entrepreneurs, indie artists with game that the rest of the industry is not putting out there. Go to nolabelsnecessary.com. The link is also in the description below. Grab some merch. You only got a few days by the time I put this up. June 19th is the deadline and stay tuned for more free ideas and strategies as we continue to learn lessons bumping our head when it comes to dropping merch. This isn't to sell you a merch course. This is just to give you free information and help see y'all monetize and share the stories so we can bring y'all on to channel, do some interviews and educate them community on y'all's merch journey and how y'all have made money so we can keep recycling this information, applying it and win as a community and hopefully even get a little competitive see who can do better and share the best strategies. No labels necessary.com. Go check out our merch pre-order. Grab some merch for yourself if you see it and you like it. Shout out to the day ones. We appreciate y'all for tuning in up till now and appreciate y'all for continuing to rock with us in the future. Peace.
