1. Collaborate with other artists.
Having another artist on a song with you will expand your creativity as a songwriter, but it’s also an easy ways to gain new fans from their already existing fanbase.
Enough artists don’t do this, but its definitely one of the fastest ways to grow!
2. Participate in open verse challenges on TikTok and Instagram.
Open verse challenges are when artists create a song and invite others to add their own verses to it.
These are a great way to be seen by a large community and show your versatility, which will encourage other artists and producers to want to work with you and help spread your music!
3. Create your own open verse challenges.
Creating your own open verse challenge puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to:
- See other potential directions for your song
- Find the perfect artist to collaborate with
- Create a community with a sense of involvement and excitement around your work
4. Create a cappella challenges for producers to make beats to.
A cappella tracks provide an opportunity for producers to showcase their talent by remixing or creating beats from your vocals.
This too encourages collaboration and shows you a range of different takes on your music, while also drawing attention from the production community.
5. Create vertical miniature music videos
A mini music video is just a short vertical video of you performing the song. It can be a single shot, or multiple takes/angles.
The key here is give people a reason to listen by giving them something to see at the same time, but also keeping it short enough so they don’t have time to get bored or uninterested.
Hope this has been helpful!
Best of luck on your musical journey!
