yo what's good everyone I'm back with
another video and hey this video I
posted like 9 months ago is at 13,000
views and like I've never had an actual
full video reach that amount of views so
I appreciate y'all and like been getting
a lot of DMS saying that I'll [ __ ] with
that video and that it actually helped
you so that's that's crazy and I want to
do like a followup you know I want to
just like sit down here Yap no script
none of that none of that [ __ ] just
start off the Dome straight device and
[ __ ] that I noticed maybe stuff that you
guys can apply I think the first thing
is community building I'm going to dive
into you know more of that before I talk
about that I just want to say like the
music has to be there could make a video
breaking down like how to make good
music but you know what do I know once
you make good music apply the rest of
this advice that I'm about to tell you
if you don't make good music that should
be your number one Focus anyway so
Community Building what I mean by this
is you have to understand you have an
audience right like no matter if it's
two people no matter if it's 100,000
people you always have people watching
you if that makes sense so don't be on
some posting 10 times a day on your
story y'all [ __ ] with this y'all [ __ ]
with this and each story post gets 10
views you know what I mean like if
you're at a low following you have to
figure out a way to boost the followers
and and if something goes up then you
have to like take advantage of that hop
on that wave make the most of your
traction so let's take this uh there's
this artist that I saw today who's on
Plat booy Max's song Wars right one of
his snip is blew up right he has like
500 followers people are kind of finding
him there's Tik toks of him that are
going up cuz obviously Max react as him
so what he's doing is he's you know
posting he's posting his Snippets he's
going live taking advantage of the
traction that he's already been getting
and that's important so that you know
for him it makes sense for him to post H
CU he has hella people on his page right
now looking at him it's really just once
you find once you get that initial buzz
you have to capitalize off of it you
know a lot of people so fago like they
stop once they get the buzz right so he
had that like knock knock right the Tik
Tok [ __ ] that blew him up and then he
had let's lose our minds whatever and he
just took like a year to drop that tape
I think that [ __ ] his career up
because everyone was waiting on that
tape he had like one year of people like
saying he was the next up Messiah the
underground people were saying Soo was
better than ye fago was was like a
prodigy and you know obviously the
narrative has completely shifted about
him so I think that's directly because
of him not capitalizing off of his buzz
so that's one thing um another thing for
this video I'm not going to make this
too long but there'll be some sauce in
here so definitely keep watching um the
next thing is crafting an image for
yourself now obviously everyone you know
wants to craft this uh opium aesthetic
right Street Wear aesthetic cool cool
whatever we can still do that just find
like a a niche know beneath that right
so take Net Spin right he has his uh has
his like badass [ __ ] kid like bad kid
aesthetic right like that's his thing no
one could take that away from him he's
kind of the only one like I guess doing
that some some some of his lyrics are
are a little bit questionable but as far
as like the aesthetic itself and you
know the stuff that he does it's not
necessarily corny now obviously dude has
money dude has connections so how do you
do this with no money and no connections
I think it's creativity the point is to
be creative especially with social media
and [ __ ] like that it's very hard for
authenticity to always rise you know
it's like we're being [ __ ] fed so
much [ __ ] people just want to like
look at the thing that's the most
flashier or the thing that's like the
coolest the thing that someone else did
you know what I mean so it's very hard
for authenticity to shine but I think
that that is the way you know you can't
I guess you can't have a long lasting
career if you don't strive on
authenticity because people are always
going to see through that and you'll
just be another ice spice but yeah with
that being said I'm going to get into
one more one more top topic so I think
this one is pretty interesting that is
marketing one of the most important
things as an artist if you don't know
how to Market yourself then most likely
are never going to see any type of
traction people think marketing
themselves as an artist means going on
Instagram and posting a real using the
right hashtags it goes much deeper than
that it's about structuring an image for
yourself figuring out how other people
will like it right if you don't have a
lane and you don't kind of know like who
you make music for like let's say you
make like a little bit of everything
it's kind of hard for you to be like in
a certain Lane so you have to pick like
a certain style and kind of Mark
yourself towards a community of those
people right so like if people say you
sound like Nest spin like don't [ __ ]
copy Nets Spen [ __ ] but what you can do
is you can Market yourself towards
people who listen to Nets Spen because
then you know naturally they'll be like
oh this dude sounds like n you know you
won't be like a clone but you'll kind of
like blow up in the same way if makes
sense and keep in mind this is all off
the fly I'm not like doing a script or
anything cuz I feel like it's it's more
[ __ ] authentic if I'm just like
talking like this but yeah let me know
if you guys enjoyed this little segment
of how to blow up as an underground
artist I want to do a little more of
these so let me know what specific
topics I should cover and yeah thank you
