 It's the network. Are you collecting people's emails? Yeah, yeah, I mean I've only got like My list is short at the moment, but yeah, I've got I've got an email list. Yeah, bro Like I mean we both drive that's like a dope way to do it Bro, like if people and that billboard thing I do it makes it so you not forcing it on them But if they interested they can they gonna ask you about it, bro And then whenever people do that if they like my music I got my little notepad I just hand it right to them to put the email in bro like It's just an easy way to get at least one fan a day, bro. Like if you drive especially if you're driving a lot Like I would definitely recommend it, bro. Because it's an easy way to not be too like You're not like pushing it, but it's right there in their face if they want it, you know what I mean Hmm. Yeah, that's a good idea, man Because I know on the I don't know about the lift app But on the uber app you can put a little profile and write a little bit about yourself like So I haven't even done that yet But because I'm kind of new to it still but I'm gonna probably put some information about my music on there But yeah, that's a good idea, man. Thanks bro. Yeah You just said something you just said something very key man Oh one fan a day I think that's amazing If you get one fan a day How do y'all I'm 24 about to be 25 I'm 28 So check this out if you get one fan a day For two and a half years That's gonna put you at About a thousand fans Not a thousand followers that aren't with fans A thousand fans How many times does a fan? Listen to your music A year A bunch if they really a fan they listen to a lot of times So let's say let's say let's say each fan gives you 300 to 500 streams a year Because they a fan. Yeah, that's reasonable. So they might listen to them. They might listen to about one song a day right there What you got You got a thousand fans Streaming you that's 300,000 to 500 Yeah, bro. That's a pretty solid base number Yeah From and then from those numbers you're in position to just naturally grow Because that's what happens in your break them into like the quarter millions and those type of numbers You're putting yourself in a position to be discovered to be discovered And that's really where you want to be Most artists most artists start off with about A thousand real fans and then from there it just naturally Increase but the natural part, you know, everyone mixes it up and they think that the natural part started at zero Nah, the natural part started somewhere around a thousand Maybe it was 15 Maybe 750 It is, you know, maybe it was 2000 But that that first initial that part isn't natural Everything after them two thousand fans for one thousand fans You know That's all natural You know, that's interesting you say that man, because I've been thinking about um I know it's a difference between followers and fans But I've been thinking about like on instagram Since I've been like because I dropped two songs this year like in the past couple months since I've been like I got more music, but it was a while ago and I wasn't really thinking business but um Now that i'm like Dropping more i'm getting more and more followers and i'm about to hit like a thousand and I know that's not a lot at all on instagram But i'm thinking like all right. Well At a certain point like it becomes easier to get in like to at least get in front of people's faces and i'm wondering like How do I phrase this question like How do I how do I get to a point where I can like leverage it? Do you think that the ratio makes a difference like like No, so that's where a lot of a lot of art Obsessed with the number of followers. They have even that's not the number that's going to make labels or investors not smart investors at least um chum right Listen if if if if if you got If you got a hundred thousand followers, right, right And you post comment below Uh, if if if if you ready for my next project comment this flame emoji, right? And 200 people comment the flame emoji, right? Right And then I got five thousand Come in your 100 and I say Comment flame emojis if you ready for my new single and I get 200 comments I mean more I'm way more in position to get a record deal than you right because they're looking like If he could command that we're just that Imagine We put the money behind right So a lot of people get obsessed with the number and they'll have you know 13 000 followers 15 000 followers 20 000 followers, but when they say comment below they get 30 comments And it's just like they missing the point Right like shag at the line. They're missing the point because right that's not That's not what the labels is actually looking for they're looking for How many people Actually move when you say move, right? That's really what it comes down to And the number of followers doesn't actually matter in that conversation Right. It's a number of people that's engaged with you Yes, yes, that is the main thing my nigga. There are niggas who are Music industry favorites who will blow up in the next 12 to 18 months and we have about 5 000 8 000 followers 10 000 followers very low numbers bro very low overall numbers but You look at their comments. There's all these famous people. There's all these like important producers Blankers and all types It's this levels man, and then your niggas with 50 000 followers Who have a bunch of eggs under their comments, you know, or they have a bunch of like nice picks with a dumb up, you know, like And it's like It's like, you know, it's not all created equal man. It's not all equal, you know And the engagement is what most artists are kind of Um, not really understanding is the key So they'll spend 10 000 or they'll spend money on like 10 000 fake followers just to boost that number but in reality it's like You must be doing that for your own ego or something because it's not helping nothing out You know, so you must be doing that so that you feel comfortable and like because other than that I don't know who else is like you didn't move the needle anywhere else other than that right, you know, so Yeah, man that that stuff Don't get caught up in the number get caught up in the engagement. Right You know get caught up in engagement in a little less amount of followers you have with the more people you have moving That's good Right, you know, the one if you if you gain a thousand followers and you notice your engagement isn't increasing That's when you want to like actually be like a little worried. You want like what am I doing wrong? Right, you know versus most artists where they just like oh the hell is that I'm getting more followers
