Starting from zero can feel overwhelming. However, every major artist started exactly where you are. The secret to building a codebase of fans is content and consistency.
1. Document Your Process
People don't just connect with music; they connect with the artist. Record video clips of you writing lyrics, recording vocals, or producing a beat. Sharing your journey makes listeners feel invested in your success.
2. Focus on One Social Platform First
Instead of trying to be active on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X all at once, master one platform first. TikTok or YouTube Shorts are ideal because their algorithms push content to non-followers based on interests.
3. Direct Fans to an Owned List
Social media algorithms change constantly. Direct your engaged followers to join an email newsletter or a Discord server, ensuring you can reach them directly without relying on an algorithm.
