 I just dropped a song today had it posted on all like the major streaming services and stuff. And I just wanted to know if anybody had some type of like gorilla type of marketing tactics that may help me out to just get it to more people and have people hear it. Yeah, that's basically my question. Okay. So is this streaming platform specific or is this just in general that you're talking about? Just in general, I have it posted. So what I've been doing is like, I'll make a whole video of the song and I'll throw that on ictv. I also will throw it on YouTube and then it's also on like Spotify, title, Apple. Got you. How much do you know about your potential fan base? I know that my fan base is like majority male and is majority people between 18 and 30. And I know that they say that my sound a lot of the times is kind of like Tyler the creator, kind of like Max O'Creme and kind of like Joey Badass. Okay. Got you. So and when you say gorilla, is this do you mean free gorilla or do you just mean something alternative than typical promotions? When I say gorilla, I mean like, I know it's probably going to be exhaustive when it comes to effort, but I mean, just like getting people's faces and just like, even if I'm flipping people one by one to become listeners and fans, I feel like that it's been official if I'm doing that piece by piece over time. Got it. Okay. So when it comes to this man is, it gets pretty simple, right? Because now it's all about just going to where the audience is and getting the attention. So one of the most popular ways I'm saying these ways because they work, there are some other things that can sound cool, but I know for a fact these work again and again and again. One, in the real world, wherever your audience is, pop up and perform. How can you do that? One of the cool ways to do it, the easiest way to do it is wait to the artist or a similar artist is in town and you either open for them or you either pop up at the outside of the concert and do a little pop up in the parking lot or whatever. Like I know people who pulled up, popped out of the U-Haul and performed, there's all kind of things you can do around that. But just going to where they are in the real world, pop up on them. You don't necessarily need permission. Just make it as cool as possible, especially if you think you're going to have a more Tyler-type audience or it's somewhere in that pocket of things where they appreciate creativity and a little bit of rebellion, then definitely utilize something like that real world, something a little bit more scalable because that means you don't have to wait for those type of occurrences and congregations to happen is going to these people's pages. As simple as that, going to these people's pages, I mean Tyler's main page, Tyler's too big right now to go to his page, but his fan page or some Max O's fan page, whichever one of these people you feel like will be similar audiences, go straight to their followers and hit them up individually again and again. Hey, I see you rock with Tyler the Creator. He's a dope inspiration to mine. Can you check out 30 Seconds of this song when you know how you like it, if it's trash, I understand. I have no problem asking that and everything I said was intentional, one showing that this is how I found you and this is where I relate to Tyler, give him a little intrigue there. The 30 Seconds is a serious thing because it does give them a small commitment, right? Give people small, small commitments and they're more likely going to listen to more than 30 Seconds of the song, right? That's enough for them to get a vibe. They like it at the beginning and they'll probably continue to listen, right? They're not going to be doing a little stopwatch for most people. So once you get them listening and then also the, you know, whether it's trash or not, just let me know how it is, that portion of it is intentional because you need to take any of the awkwardness that comes from people saying that I don't like this shit away, right? Because people don't want to say something bad to people that they don't know most times, right? So they rather just avoid the whole interaction in the first place. So do those things and you do that at scale. And that's easier to do at scale than, like I said, popping up at concerts and some of these other things because all you just have to do is take the time. It's manual, like what you asked for, but you have a lot of numbers to work. So you could be doing that for the rest of the year with pretty much any, any artists that you think make sense for you families wise. Now, follow up question on that. Have you noticed it to be the most successful during that via DM or Instagram comment? And these people will answer these DMs from people they don't know just because they probably don't get DMs often, which is a lot of these people. A lot of these people aren't, you know, out there popping or even living, trying to do the whole, I'm cool on Instagram type life. Yeah. So a lot of these people, you're one of the few DMs that they have that from people they don't know. And two, it's a numbers game. There's going to be a lot of DMs that don't get answered. Some of them will be will be because they're like, no, like if there's a random rapper person, I don't want to be talked to. Some people will just not check their DMs and they just don't know what's happening, right? Some people will forget, like it's all of it is a funnel, just like any portion of marketing, right? You start with the top and then some people will actually see it, right? And then some people will actually respond and then some people will actually listen and some people will actually listen and give feedback. That's the part of the manual process, but it'll be doing it in that way. The steps that I talked about are going to be the steps that help increase the conversion of people. Gotcha. Thank you for sure. I can piggyback off of that. It does work when you DM them. I go by Charlie K. I'm out of Minneapolis. Just piggybacking off of what you just said, like, does the DM work versus the comment? I actually use your method, brand man, where you just go into the DM and you just hit check DM capital letters. And yeah, I'm not sure if you're familiar with Alex too, maybe that's a thugs engineer or used to be thugs engineer actually worked. He actually did DM me back in it. You know, these people are real. Oh, you commented at DM? Yep. Oh, OK. You had some time at DM asking to like collab or whatever. Nope. Not even a collab. I'm just like, yo, I know you're thugs engineer. I'm inspired by your work. You know, this is this is my song that I just put out. Appreciate the love bubble left it at that and he responded. So I don't know if he listened to it, but he definitely responded back. So it works just to say that. Yeah. And what you won't want to do with most people, though, in the beginning, most of the normal people is do the checking thing at first. They don't respond and you go back with those people. Right. But the people like him, like the in more industry, professionals and things like that. Then, yeah, definitely just start with the check DM out the gate. Yeah, got you. Because I knew I would never get to thugs. I'm like, I can get the closest to thugs. So best way to do it. Best way to do it. You can't look if you couldn't get to his engineer, get to the person at the studio who was running the running the studio. You know what I mean? Like, yep, all the way. It's the network.
