How to Better Organize Your Social Media

-
By Valerie MelinaPost originally from SymBlog

As a musician today, it is important to be involved in social media websites and apps.  However, keeping track of your accounts can become tedious and confusing.  Below are a couple different methods for keeping it all organized.

Method 1
This is probably the easier one of the two: Combine.

Nowadays, different social media websites and apps allow you to sync your accounts.  For example, when you make a post on Instagram, the app will give you the option to share it on a range of other social media website, like Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr.  This now commonplace feature enables you to share the same information across many different websites, saving you time and energy.

By setting up your differnet social media accounts to sync, you can increase your consistency of information and connect with more fans at once.  Posting regularly is also important for maintaining followers.  Depending on your schedule (and amount of information and content you have to share), try posting once a day or at least once a week, on weekends, or anywhere in-between.

Method 2
This one takes more time and attention, but can pay off in the long run: individualize.

A good way to begin is to divide up your accounts and determine what your purpose is for each. For instance, Twitter might be best for posting short, personal tweets throughout the day, while Facebook is best to use for posting links to your music and other other outside content.

In order to be really effective, try organizing your accounts on a Sunday-through-Saturday calendar.  This will help to ensure that you are active online each day, no matter how small or large the interaction is.  This is important for keeping contact with fans, and communicating with them online helps to build more personal relationships.  But be careful to not over-post; you don’t want to annoy your followers.  One way to organize yourself on a weekly basis is to post to Twitter daily, Facebook on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, Instagram once a week (or as you have shows, music videos, etc.), and the list goes on.

These are just a couple of different sample methods for organizing your social media websites and apps. Feel free to modify them to fit your style. Keep in mind, consistency makes it easier for your fans to follow, and thoughtful posts are important for creating a sense of sincerity.

Post originally from Omari MC . Buying SoundCloud plays has become a popular thing to do with aspiring artists, DJ's, and producers on the site. Everyone is in a mad dash to be heard, and sometimes they may even sink to the level of going unheard in order to make it look like they were heard. With this I mean that most of the services that offer SoundCloud plays use bots or fake plays in order to fulfill the requirements they tell artists they can give. Here's 5 reasons why it's a bad idea to buy off these services, and also what to do instead when you're trying to get more listeners. 1. HOW TO TELL WHEN THE PLAYS ARE FAKE There's a few ways to spot a fake service out. If they give a hard number of plays instead of a range (Fake) If they talk about them being 'safe' plays (Fake) If they guarantee likes, comments, and re-posts (Fake) Why are these fake indicators? Real promotion services usually give a range of plays that will be delivere

Most informations were originally from a Symphonic Dist .'s e-mail and from the SymBlog . First, a personal note from me, Coldbeat. Coldbeat: "-I've recently been talking with a few artists about this subject, but it seems that most people don't have a full understanding on how STEMS work, and what are this new format of music file, hell.. I'm still not fully aware. But let's see what we know and what information we have so far. Most people will associate the word "STEMS" to remixes, right? Because those pieces you get from the Original Mixes, in order to reorganize them and make your own version of the song, those files are usually referred as STEMS. You're not wrong, those are the STEMS. But this new music format created by Native Instruments (I'm assuming) is quite different from those STEMS you're used to know from the remix packs and remix competitions. So, let's see what we know so far." About STEMS. Native Ins
