Before we start with the strategies, it is crucial that you deliver something worthy. Your brand, starting from your image, to your music, and your reputation, everything has to be flawless and of high quality. Professionalism is key.

Get A Social Media Strategy That Gets You Noticed

Once you have established your brand, you can continue by marketing your brand. Becoming a famous singer, takes foundation, momentum and acceleration. Social media is a tool, which you can utilize to build your foundation, and gradually accelerate your presence and image all across these channels. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and SoundCloud all can be utilized free of charge, and are user-friendly.

Develop a diverse, high quality, and engaging posts and content; update you profile regularly; and remember the key to your visibility lies in the pockets of your fans. Thus, provide your fans information, news, and offers they will love to share, like, comment and engage with. Learn to use the appropriate tools to grow your follower base, and consistently show your appreciation of them to keep them loyal. Advertising on social media is quite effective; therefore, take your time to learn the most effective ways you can advertise on social media platforms to reach a targeted audience and drive traffic to your page. Anthony Katz, a music marketing expert with 13+ years of experience in the industry,  states, “To become famous, you need to increase your visibility for industry decision makers to take notice.” Your followers and fans can be one of the most effective ways you can achieve such visibility.

Complete Your Visibility Campaign With PR Distribution And Media Exposure

While social media channels are a great place to start, they can be limiting. PR and dissemination can complete the limited scale of social media’s reach. Media and news outlets can increase your reach, expand your scope, and pull in much-needed traffic to your site and increase your fan base. Most importantly, by having top tier media and news platforms, magazines, bloggers, radios, and DJs post about you and your music, you may even gain the attention of decision-makers and key actors in the industry to get you closer to fame.

Get Famous With The Help Of The Professionals

The massive exposure necessary to attract record labels is not a simple feat to achieve. There are ample channels, networks, tools, and strategies that need to be utilized, which the average artist either does not have access to or has limited know-how of. Unfortunately, an effective strategy that is complete in its reach is one of the most critical tools for independent artists. Luckily, there are agencies that artists can hire to develop and execute effective strategies to get them noticed, famous, and signed.
