3 Unique Ways To Connect With Your Fans In 2020
Let your fans watch you create a song
Music creation can be a very intimate. Letting your fans get a glimpse of that process can mean the world to them. Consider inviting individual fans to the studio or whatever your preferred writing space is, either in-person or via livestream/video chat. You can also make this a raffle prize for your fans via social media. The more special your fans feel, the more they’ll be eager to tell their friends about you. This will form a special bond that will continue to give throughout your career.
2. Give away free tickets to your shows on social media in exchange for sharing your content
Don’t know what to do with those guest list spots for your next gig? Most artists give the spots away to their parents, significant others, or close friends. Try this instead: create an incentive for new fans to come discover you by putting them on your guest list. You can announce the giveaway on your social media accounts. New fans are much more likely to come check you out, if the experience is at no cost to them.
3. Crowdsource Cover Song Recommendations
As new listeners discover you, they are not familiar with your music yet. One of the best ways to pull in new fans is through covers. Now, go one step further. Involve your fan base by letting them decide which covers you’ll record next. You can use Instagram Stories, for example, to create a poll. This will engage your listeners, let them have a small part in your musical journey, and might lead them to share your creation with friends!
As you can see, it’s all about fan engagement. One of the best ways to attract new listeners is to engage your current ones. As the decade comes to an end, think about how social platforms such as Instagram provide you and your fans a unique channel for interaction. Wishing you all the best in 2020!
