The book is the culmination of four years of poring over scientific studies, books, and thoughts from top creators as well as his own experience to write a book every musician should listen to about what goes into making great music versus what bands do when they make the innumerable bad songs we hear each day. Covering the pitfalls of creating music, the book thoroughly explores the hidden reasons we actually like music, how to get along with our collaborators, and patterns that help creativity flourish. While every musician says that being creative is the most important part of their life, they barely explore what's holding them back from making music they are happy with.

Download or read book Social Media Marketing written by Adidas Wilson and published by Adidas Wilson . This book was released on with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Social Media Engagement? It is the number of shares, likes, and comments. A big following is great, but an engaged audience is better than a big one—quality over quantity. There are certain metrics used to measure social media engagement. They include: Use of branded hashtags. Mentions. Click-throughs. Audience and followers' growth. Likes. Comments. Retweets/shares. Your followers can naturally start engaging with your content. But often, you may need to encourage them a little. Here are a few tricks to help you with that. Assess your engagement: see how many followers you have, the average number of shares and comments you get on each post and any other relevant numbers. Make sure you continue monitoring these numbers. Choose your strategy: every company has different goals and strategies are, thus, different. Your strategy will depend on your goals. This could be educating the audience, collecting feedback, changing the public perception, etc. Understand your audience: it is not easy to engage people you do not know.

Download or read book Friends with Benefits written by Darren Barefoot and published by No Starch Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rules of marketing have changed. With viral YouTube videos racking up millions of views, popular bloggers reaching more readers than their traditional media counterparts, and Facebook mavens influencing thousands of their friends, marketing professionals simply cannot ignore the web's new communication channels. But this new brand of marketing can be intimidating to those unfamiliar with the new tools, the evolving culture, and the unwritten rules surrounding them. Friends with Benefits is a tactical guide, filled with tricks, tips, and real-world case studies that show marketers how to reach out to the new online influencers to increase their companies' online visibility and bring more visitors to their websites. Readers learn how to create viral campaigns, craft a compelling social media pitch, and market effectively inside intimidating social media channels, where honesty and connections are far more important than the size of their marketing budget. The power of social media is huge: 65 million Americans read blogs every day; Facebook has over 150 million users; and the most popular YouTube videos receive over 10 million views, often in less than a week. Nearly 80 percent of consumers trust recommendations from family, friends, and "influential" persons over any kind of advertising or marketing. Businesses need to reach these influencers.

Download or read book Popular Music as Promotion written by Leslie M. Meier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Business-as-usual' has been transformed across the music industries in the post-CD age. Against widespread hype about the purported decline of the major music labels, this book provides a critique of the ways these companies have successfully adapted to digital challenges – and what is at stake for music makers and for culture. Today, recording artists are positioned as 'artist-brands' and popular music as a product to be licensed by consumer and media brands. Leslie M. Meier examines key consequences of shifting business models, marketing strategies, and the new 'common sense' in the music industries: the gatekeeping and colonization of popular music by brands. Popular Music as Promotion is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication studies, cultural studies and sociology, and will appeal to anyone interested in new intersections of popular music, digital media and promotional culture.
