 Do you want streams for free be nice? You would like streams for free. It would be nice I think streams for free are a good thing. I wouldn't even say a great thing and There's plenty of ways to get streams for free that are not scams And that's what we're about to talk about right now So let's get into it the first way matter of fact I want to say this not only are we gonna say that the ways to get streams for free that are not scams But we're gonna give you the deep dive within each topic on how we've gone about it seen it helped artists do it themselves So you can apply it for yourself. So make sure you stay all the way through because it's coming from real experience and You know, it's free. Check this out. Cory Telling why content is one of the top free Breakdowns and how we will go about it going to 2023. Yeah, right like today not content You know that that's already been out there in a way people have been moving before. Yeah. Yeah I mean content is the great equalizer because me one for the most part is Relatively cheap to free depending on your initial investment to be able to create the content right like the equipment Most of us got phones. So we have the ability to at least create something You know I'm saying even if it's not amazing, but I says the great equalizer because that one Tiktok that you shot could hit a thousand new people could hit a hundred thousand new people, right? And so it has a chance to Offset the cost of other things that you maybe would want to spend money on or even get you attention For free that you have to pay for a great example is everybody watching this YouTube video right now, right? All this attention is free We could have paid for it which all are here because we put this podcast episode out, right? And so you need to be looking at your pieces of content the same. I'm gathering people for free I'm building people up for free Now the way that we typically Explained the clients to go about it is one just pick somewhere between one to three platforms to focus on I think I would say maybe two at least because I do think that one is just power numbers To you're able to learn a lot faster about cultural differences of platforms and things like that because you can compare the stuff Right. Oh, they act this way when I post on YouTube versus when I post on my tiktok or whatever So I do think that's important and then you know, we believe in like omnipresent buildings So trying to hit the same person or group of people on a couple of different platforms and a couple of different places So because I say pick one of three platforms Commit everything you can to just learning the ins and outs of those platform how the algorithm works What content creators not just music artists, but just content creators are doing on that platform in order to stay Relevant and also what music artists are doing. I'm a firm believer in every platform you commit to Go find like three to five other artists who you just like the way they do things and just like study them And I watched them and see if they're doing things that you could copy and emulate to some degree That's the big thing right there. Mm-hmm behind the people that you want to emulate Yeah, yeah, cuz like they already figured out a lot of hard work You know, now you just come on behind and out of your own style and like characteristics to it So really big on that and then the last thing we always tell them to do was like make sure you actually use a platform Use it at least like 30 minutes Maybe an hour a day scroll through tiktok scroll through Twitter Whatever the platform you've chosen to master is you need to be using it pretty consistently because we talk about a lot There are a lot of times cultural things that you're doing your content that determines whether or not it goes Not the content itself. You're saying yes in order for you to Understand the people that you were culturally trying to tap into you have to Study the way they culturally move on the platform There's no getting around that and the best way to do that use the fucking platform, bro You know, I mean people I meet I want to blow up on tiktok. Do you use tiktok? Hell no, I watch tiktoks I was like, bro, you just you just walking in this country Language all confusing and even took the time out to try to speak it and you wonder why you can't order or some shit off I mean, you're like you lost bro. You lost get your shit together. So tiktok lame as fuck, bro Shit ain't for me It's like you got to use it, bro But literally we just start people that man pick pick a handful of platforms that you're gonna commit to one to three like I recommend at least to Find some regular content creators that you can study Find some music artists who use that platform where that you can study and then just use that shit use the platform every day 30 minutes to an hour at least just to get a feel for it and I guess the fifth tip will be just start making shit I'm saying start experimenting because there gonna be a lot of things that We could say and maybe even other like social media gurus might be saying to you that won't really click for you until you start Creating things and you get why we're saying what we're saying, right? Oh, this is the reason the hook is important because I know it's my watch time keeps falling off in the first two seconds Oh, that's why Sean keeps I need a hook on my videos to hold people's attention, right? Like those are things that you don't understand into like you posted some content You kind of see how things are moving, but it's like that shit hits Every piece of attention you get from and from then on out is free and sometimes our attention can be massive Thanks, bro. Thanks. Let me take a quick second to say if you're an artist trying to blow your music up Or if you're a manager music professional in general trying to help an artist blow their music up I have something that's a game changer for you and it's completely Free as you may know we've helped multiple artists go from zero to hundreds of thousands of streams We've helped multiple artists go from hundreds of thousands of millions of streams chart on billboard go viral all of that stuff And we've now made the way we've branded multiple artists and help them go viral completely free step-by-step in Brand man network all you have to do is check out brand man network comm you apply It's completely free, but the thing is we're not gonna let everybody in forever So the faster you apply the better your chance of getting accepted brand man network comm check it out Back to the video. I'm gonna go back to when you talked about the fact that artists should find people They want to look at as an example on the platform. Yeah now There's some specificity to that and then there's one thing I want to add Don't necessarily look for artists who are big on the platform because they're already a big name a household name They might be doing some cool stuff and it might be getting engagement, but they might be winning because they're already winning Yeah, you know I'm saying so find somebody who's new and they're upcoming and you like what they're doing And there's things that you could pull from them because they're probably winning because they're good at using the platform Yeah, which is very very different especially when you're starting up And all you're trying to do is trying to figure out how to use the platform again and it's about what you like you like how they're moving about it and You can see yourself doing the type of content that they're doing right because you might not Be somebody who's gonna go outside and come up with these weird locations and shoot these beautiful shots or anything like that You might just be a bedroom person in it So you're like, oh, yeah, they're making the bedroom work or I like to move outside And I would keep doing that because I hate being in the house and just creating in this space So maybe you like going and do different locations so that's something you might want to do all those things matter And then besides other artists just find other creators Yeah, that are doing shit that you feel like you can apply to yourself So now, you know, you might not be able to do it exactly the same way because you want to figure out how to make it matter to an artist All right but you can still find that inspiration for from a couple and I don't know if you said how many you would recommend that people like five or seven Okay, yeah, I would say seven max seven max, especially if you're talking about artists and non-artists Yeah, and then that whole idea is to siphon the things from them that you would like to repeat. So that means You aren't taking anything Holy from anybody. Yeah, right. I just need to find oh that one specific format I like that they do that and they're winning with that format this one specific format I like that they do that and then I Want to flip that because the entire game when it comes to content is about stacking formats It tick tock really brought that to a head But now people are copying it so you know it's going to become more and more relevant on other platforms where You find a perform at their works and that format will kill but that doesn't mean I could just drop any type of content now That that format will be the only thing that's doing well on your page and you're trying to figure out Well, should I only just do that now? No You do that format you exploit the hell of that format and that format might become the 80% that you're doing at the moment But formats don't last forever So you need to always be testing to find the next format in the remaining 20% So you got this 80 80 80 20 20 20 oh snap. I got a second format So now I just had added a second format and now I'm doing these two formats 80% of the time possibly all right or maybe it's like a 60 20 between those two but in the rest of it I'm trying to find another format. Oh snap now. I got three formats experiment experiment experiment now I got four content formats that work. Oh shit. One of them just died out. It's not doing good anymore But I still got three left Most people find themselves in a position where they got one that format start popping And then it dies and they don't know what to do and they feel like oh my page just stopped working forever and now I might need to start a completely new page because I'm shadow band or something like that It's a life cycle that happens with these formats and if you don't exploit formats You probably don't even know why it worked in the first place All right, so you need to start being able to understand why a format's working before you even Maximize the platform to its fullest. So format stacking is a huge Key and how you should look at Your approach to your content as well.
