📌 Steps to help you organize a successful release of a new song:
- [ ] Set a release date.
- [ ] Start promoting your song at least one week (preferably several weeks) before the release date.
- [ ] If you want your song to be available on streaming platforms (e.g. through DistroKid), you need to submit it at least one week before the release date.
- [ ] Choose a suitable promotion strategy for your song.
- [ ] Decide which social media platforms are most important for you (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and focus on them.
- [ ] Create engaging graphics, cover art, and an official trailer to grab the attention of potential listeners.
- [ ] Take photos during the process of working on your song, including photos from the studio or live performances.
- [ ] Create an official music video or lyric video and release it on YouTube.
- [ ] Plan to have your song featured on a Spotify playlist or YouTube channel.
- [ ] Follow the chosen strategy and remain consistent, even if you don't see immediate high engagement. It may take time to build momentum.
- [ ] Take time to respond to your fans, especially before and after the release of your song, and be active and grateful for their support.
- [ ] Monitor key performance indicators of your song, such as views, streams, shares, comments, and likes, to evaluate the effectiveness of your actions and identify areas for improvement.
- [ ] If you're already at an advanced stage as an artist, consider reaching out to music editors, bloggers, or other industry professionals for support in promoting your song or to gather feedback on your work. It's important to establish connections with them before the release of your song.
📌 Remember:
Organizing a successful release of a new song takes time, effort, and proper planning, but it can bring many benefits, such as increased reach, gaining new fans, and accelerating your growth in the music industry. It's definitely worth investing in smart promotion to support your music!
