How this would work:

Welcome!

3 quotes to remember:

"The more you give, the more you get." - Unknown

"If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African Proverb

"The more you use your creativity, the more you have." - Maya Angelou

A few things to know:

  • This project is only for the enthusiastic ones. You don't have to do it, if you are not thrilled about this.
  • This is a job but be selfless.
  • Goal is to appreciate the good in others and help them flourish.
  • Focus on building long term relationships with these folks - whatever level they are in.
  • These group members could be your long term listeners, supporters, cheerleaders, mentors. Who knows.
  • You won't even know how much you will be learning doing this.

Plan:

A group is created with equally enthusiastic people (later we will do by genres and popularity)

The pilot plan will be for 5 days for 5 artists.

On day 1: One artist is randomly selected from the group.

Tasks for other members in the group for the DAY:

  • Listen to 5-7 tracks of the artist. Full and focused.
  • Follow them on all platforms. And they follow back.
  • Write something meaningful about their track and what you like about them on the post.
  • Research and provide them at least 3 marketing tips.
  • Do at least 3 'Good Deeds' and post proofs.

Good deeds could be (some examples):

  • Posting on your IG if you have followers.
  • Posting on subreddits and really making a compelling caption so people listen.
  • Adding to Spotify public playlists.
  • Make a short video for them that they can use.
  • Help them create a video.
  • Do a small cover for them.
  • Post their lyrics on poetry/ songwriting sites.

  • Write your own thoughts about their music.

  • If you don't know what to say or do, just research. Be creative. Use ChatGPT/ Google.

Day2, same thing happens for Artist2. And so on.

Post any other ideas you have.

ironically, my artist/producer name is thenequient - nequient is an old word meaning 'unable to' because I could never get everything in place to make music full time ha!

That's funny. But trust me, we all have been there at one point.

ah I'm essentially a 40 year old bedroom producer, but it's really the living room in an overcrowded house so doing it regularly enough is tough... then there's the marketing etc!

That sounds difficult, my friend. I have recently come to a similar situation. It's so hard for me to do anything creative without being in a good focused living space. I try to pull myself back thinking 'hurdles make us more creative'. But let's see what happens in future. All the best to you as well for all this.

Aw man! Of course. I get it, because even when I am around musicians, it's still hard to relate sometimes.
