 Hey everybody, what's going on? It's your man, Cory. Welcome to The Digital Dash, where I'll be giving you guys tips on how to market your songs and get those numbers booming. Now, if you're new to the channel and you don't know who I am, I'm a digital marketer. I specialize and have an artist like yourself get their songs heard through platforms like Spotify, like Instagram, like YouTube, and a bunch of others. Now what I want to talk to you guys about today is a major tip that you can use to stay consistent. Now, when I talk about staying consistent, I mostly mean with your content and how you're using it to grow your social media platforms. But now that I think about it, I guess you could use it to stay consistent in other areas of your career. But before we get into all of that, come and follow me on Instagram. I'll make sure to leave my ad name on the screen. Come talk to me. Come engage with me. Come give me some video ideas. All of that good stuff. Now, with that being said, let's get right into it. Now before we get into how you can stay consistent, let's break down what exactly it means to be consistent. Now consistency does not mean that you're posting every single day. Now it can mean that you're posting every single day, but it doesn't have to be. Now the definition of consistent is acting or doing in the same manner over and over again. Pretty much meaning that you put yourself on some type of pattern, some type of schedule and that is what it means to be consistent with your content, with your music and with anything that you have going on. Now I'm pretty sure you're asking, but what's the importance of being consistent? Why do I need to be consistent as a music artist? What benefits will this have to me to do these certain things over and over again? Now one of the major benefits of staying consistent is that it builds your brand awareness. You can't really start to build a repertoire with your fan base and with people that you're trying to reach unless you're consistently staying in front of them. Meaning that they're used to seeing your face over and over again. They're used to seeing you pop up on their timeline or pop up in their feed or come up on their playlist or whatever. It is the way that you start to build with your fan base and start to connect with them because they pretty much get used to seeing your content over and over again. Now staying consistent also allows you to establish credibility with your fans. It improves the traffic to your content and allows you to engage your fan base. All of these things which are very important for helping you to spread out your content and therefore start to spread out and grow your fan base. So staying consistent with your music releases, with your music videos, with your content production, with the way that you work your social media accounts is pretty much the key to building and establishing a brand within a certain group or community. It's pretty much the way that you make sure that your fans or your potential fans don't forget about you and move on to the next thing. All right, so let's get to the fun part. How can you stay consistent, right? I know you're wondering, Corey, how can I stay consistent with my content? How can I make sure that I'm still putting new stuff out and that my fan base doesn't forget about me and move on to somebody else and worry artists? It's actually pretty simple. All you need to do is plan and the best way to start planning for consistency to start playing out your content is to make a content schedule. Now let's take a look at some examples. Here's one that I made for a local event that I throw here called Blue Summer. Now, granted, it's a very crude content schedule, but it does get the job done. So as you can see, I pretty much planned out when we're going to reach out to the artists, when we're going to do the artists interviews, when do we drop the teasers on Instagram, when we upload the videos on YouTube, when will they be uploaded on Facebook, so on and so on. And what this does is it gets the team used to a schedule for the actual content creation and then the drops get our fan base and the people who pay attention to us used to when we post and drop content. So if you're a fan of Blue Summer and you're watching these interviews, eventually you'll get acclimated to knowing that we drop artists interviews every other Saturday. So you'll wake up on this Saturday. And the first thing you'll think is that, hmm, Blue Summer should have dropped an interview today. Let me go and check out that YouTube or that Facebook or that Instagram to see if it's out already. And that's pretty much what building consistency does is it starts to put your fan base on the schedule, letting them know when and when they shouldn't check for you. Now, this isn't hard to do guys. It's actually pretty simple. You can start to sit down and plan your own content schedules based around what resources you have, what you know, you're able to do every single day or every single week and pretty much make it centered around what's comfortable to you, what makes sense for your fan base and your content and what you need to do to meet your individual goals. So there you have it guys. That's pretty much my major tip to be more consistent is to plan your content out, plan your release schedules out and do so by making an actual content schedule. Now, I know it's not the sexiest tip. You know, I know it's not this major key that I'm sure you guys were hoping for, but it is very important that you do so. Being consistent is the difference between pushing your content out on these platforms and them not going anywhere. It's the difference between building brand awareness with people that know and don't know you. And it's the difference between establishing relations and a connection with your fan base or the people who call themselves your supporters. And just to help you guys out, I'll leave a blank copy of that content schedule in the description below. I'll also make sure to leave a little short list of steps that you should take in order to build up your content schedule.
