Consistency!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sam says:<\/p>\n<p><em>Post regularly. That can be two to three times a week, every day, four to five times a day.

Entertain.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>He says:<\/p>\n<p><em>Make it engaging. People go on these apps to be entertained. You should have a hook within the first three seconds of your video. If it\u2019s an educational video, outline your objectives concisely at the start. If it\u2019s musical content, start in straight away. don\u2019t mess around setting up.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And keep it dynamic. Sam explains:<\/p>\n<p><em>Edit your videos so there is something new and engaging happening periodically throughout your video, such as:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> an angle change<\/em><br \/>\n<em>outfit change<\/em><br \/>\n<em>captions<\/em><br \/>\n<em>or something stupid happening in the background. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With everyone having such short attention spans now you\u2019ve got to think of interesting ways to keep that viewer engaged. You can\u2019t just rely on the subject of the video to keep them watching.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dont_create%E2%80%A6_Document\"><\/span>3. Don\u2019t create\u2026 Document!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sam recommends:<\/p>\n<p><em>If you\u2019re struggling to come up with content ideas, stop wasting your time thinking of new things to make. Just simply document what you\u2019re already doing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Examples of this could be: <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>a day in the life of a writing session<\/em><br \/>\n<em>what you would wear to a gig, meeting or rehearsals<\/em><br \/>\n<em>or a pre-gig ritual. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Remember, your fan base wants to learn more about you. So be more inclusive and bring them in on your day.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Dont_be_scared_to_suck\"><\/span>4. Don\u2019t be scared to suck.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>He says:<\/p>\n<p><em>You can\u2019t be expected to nail it on the first try. So experiment with different forms of content, and remember this should be fun. Remove the pressure and just mess around.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Its_not_just_about_the_music\"><\/span>5. It\u2019s not just about the music.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sam breaks it down:<\/p>\n<p><em>Remind yourself that you are building a brand around you and not just your music. People who have done well from social media have shown their personality and weaved it through their music. Labels, management, and A&amp;R are looking for all of these things because there are so many good songs, singers, and songwriters that you need to work out what makes you stand out from the crowd. And you publish that alongside your music. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To do this well I follow a <strong>content pillar system<\/strong> of personality, growth, and music content:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Personality<\/strong> content gives your audience an insight into who you are; this could be a playlist filled with all of your favorite songs, what you do on a day off, or just a video of you and your mates messing around.<\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>Growth<\/strong> content are videos that have a higher chance of performing well, like stitching an already viral video and doing something of your own on top, doing a trend, or performing a unique skill that you have.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>And finally <strong>music<\/strong> content \u2014 this is where you invite people directly to what\u2019s going on in your career.
