im afraid if i dont do what she say she will beat the shit out of me . Edit: Everyone that liked and commented on this comment all your dreams come true.

1. Be proud of your music and never stop telling people about it . 2. Repeat number 1

if you watch this on mute, she looks like she's spitting fire bars.

It seems we amateur musicians and producers have 3 jobs: Daytime job, musician/producer and manager/marketing...

"i was hopin the music would speak for itself but the people want everything else" -J Cole

Social media IS SUPER IMPORTANT. But we think the ability to create undeniable music is the ultimate goal... It may take longer but that's what this is, A LOOOOONG GAME!

*We daily assist artists in expanding their reach and finding new listeners, so we know well that promoting a song can be challenging (but always effective with us). Unfortunately, nowadays a good track needs promotion to succeed.*

Me: "New mixtape coming out soon!" Me one day later: *ok my new mixtape is out, check it out*

Your video says informative. Your hands say rap battle.

Great now all I need is a song!

Hi, label A&R here (USA). These tips are definitely practical, I'm just not sold on how actionable they are for a developing artist. In other words - these work great, and are actually the standard 10 bases to cover for a standard release, that is, if you already have somewhat of a significant fanbase / signed to a label. I think a handsome majority of people here are looking for tips to cultivate and develop that fanbase so that they *can* reach that point of good, consistent, release momentum and trajectory thru these strategies. Nonetheless I love what you guys are doing. Cheers!

I release my music for my own soul, I accept the idea of never getting famous for my music, so I just prefer to consume my own product, instead other peoples products, so far I am happy with that.

These are great tips for musicians that already have a following

Love how the length of the vid is 808 👀🤣

Everyone: *use social media loads to promote your music* Me: *But it's so criiiiiinge*

As someone who's just getting started trying to release my music for others, this has been incredibly valuable. It's so intimidating feeling like there are so many boxes you "have" to check, it's good to know that this isn't just for people who are really aiming to be the "next big thing," but actionable for those who just want to test the waters too. Thanks so much!

This girl realllyyyyy sounds like trap lore ross

Summary: You won't get famous if you are not active on social media

Wow!! Being a 42-year-old artist with no clue you guys have just helped MASSIVELY Thank you, Thank you, Thank you :)

super helpful! i've been a fulltime touring songwriter for 10 years, in the folk world mostly. made decent money playing live original songs...grateful for that! but i'm just a baby at the spotify game. this was really helpful in terms of making me think about what I'm already doing with my small but dedicated fan base and honing in on what works. Consistency consistency consistency!

I'm going to apply this list information to my 8Bit Nokia ringtones from the early 2000s. I'm about to get a Grammy off of that thang 😏

Why am I so insanely depressed after watching this?

lowkey, with her voice & the data she's runnin' down, this is a legit positive affirmations video to meditate on, like a daily mantra checklist to replay until it becomes automatic habit

Yo let this girl audition for game of thrones

We will never thank you enough for sharing all this amazing content with us, so useful 😁❤️

These are fantastic tips. Thanks, Maddy. I literally ended up getting a pad of paper out, went back and the video and took notes. Subscribed!

When you're releasing your album this week, and expect nothing. 😅 Thank you for the tips. ❤

I’m planning an album release for 2020 and these tips I’ve heard before but this video really broke it down well. I wrote them down on a notebook and hung it on my board so I can see it easily and know what I need to do before I release. I’m really excited for this year. Oh and I subscribed :)

I don’t comment on videos but gotta say I fckin love the content y’all do, imma A&R for a small indie label and I went to school for business management/audio recording and I’ve learned more about the current music business practices in the few videos I’ve watched so far from your channel then I did at a 30 k a year school 😭 def recommending to all my coworkers and artists ⚡️ keep up the great work you def got a loyal follow from me 🥂

This is useful but most of these are much easier said than done

This was my first Burstimo video... about a month ago, never having heard of this channel before, I assumed that it was going to go until the end of the video just leading us around in circles without even getting to tip #1, so you could say at the end "buy our book to get access to these 10 tips!" Boy was I wrong. What a great channel to happen upon. What a wealth of knowledge.

Very helpful I'm actually starting my brand all over. I've been aware of many of these tips but could never get them into a stream lined order this is so simple and easy to follow. I will most definitely update with my results!!

Great tips which will help me reaching my goal of releasing a single for the very first time till the end of the year!

Thank you so much for summing this up. I'm weirdly amazed and rather outraged at the amount of comments talking about anything but the content. Please don't stop posting!

Y'all are crazy helpful! Thanks for the info! I like how you added that bit about emerging artists having a weird qualm with radio play before release. Would y'all be interested in making a video that covers some more of those emerging artist myths in greater detail? Keep being awesome!

I'm gonna use these on my next release. The blog submission is new to me. Thanks for the info

I’m actually going to apply this list to my album release, and see how I do. Thanks for sharing this!

I'm a beginner music artist, but I haven't submitted any of my tracks to Spotify or any of those other music streaming services. However, I watched this video from beginning to end and took notes on it, and this is a very helpful video. I don't know where my music is going to go, but I do know that I'm putting my music on Spotify sometime later, so thanks for the video tip. It was very helpful.

Here's my short story: 30+ years ago I was bit by a parasite ruining my ability to play. 2021 I finally regained it, trained hard to play again, learning todays DAWs and as I was about to release 60+ tracks I was hit by a stroke. I somehow fought hard enough to get those out and still release the 200 I managed to mix of 800+ still in store. I have 207 subs, but 600+ monthly listeners on Spotify .. have no idea where they came from, and here I am watching this sweet video just to be "one of you guys" :-)

Amazing and thorough content Burstimo! You are a beacon of state of the art music marketing know- how. Thank you so much!

Once I can consistently get a good track out every month, I can cascade 2 release cycles to get a flow going. Its a great idea, thanks! :P

How is it possible for you to have so little subscribers?? Your channel is pure gold and I'm sure it's yet to be found by many!! It has amazing content, you don't waste our time with vague parts just to get to the 10 min mark, your techniques are amazing... And the best part? It is completely free!!!!! To watch this video I just had to watch an add of another guy trying to sell less information than yours and you offer it for free. For that, I THANK YOU!!! This is not an attempt of making publicity for myself, this a genuine and HUGE thank you. In a few days I've learned more about social media, Spotify, and basically about how our industry works right now than I've ever before. I can't thank you enough, In just two days me and my band have updated our feed entirely, we've been answering to all of the comments with all the technics you taught us, we are 100 times more organized with our posts and music as well. Alex, Maddy, thank you so much. I would hug you if I could

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE. IVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE MY MUSIC ON AND OFF FOR YEARS JUST COMING AND GOING BUT FOR THE PAST MONTH NOW IVE WORKING HARDER TO GO FURTHER SO I APPRICIATE ALL THE INFO I CAN GET TO HELP ME REACH MY GOALS . SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIPS

these tips are good for people that allready have 20K Followers

Liking her energy in this vid

You guys are awesome, thanks a lot for working hard to give us these tips.

I watch quite a few of these videos recently and I find it quite interesting that so much attention is put into these steps. However, I never see anyone talking about the most important step before ever considering releasing anything and that’s copyrighting your material. This actually takes much more time then you think to do it correctly. With most of the crap I’m unfortunate enough to hear being produced these days, it’s most likely not worth stealing. So, keep settling for your .004 cents a stream and keep feeding the beast.

I like the way she talks she is so damn serious

When your about to release a solo piano album and realized you might be on the wrong video lmao great tips though, I think a lot will still apply

I thank everyone at burstimo all of u are doing a fantastic job guiding independent artist’s achieve there dreams and aspirations!! Great stuff!! 👍👍💯💯💯✨✨

You have just said it all.. thanks for educating our Artists. We do accept features and we got more Europe fans ,💯👌

About to try this since my e.p didn’t get as much hype as I expected it to 🤷🏾‍♀️💯

Man i just haven't been to the studio. In Colorado its a little pricey waiting on that check .. but this will be good once i can get in

I am sending my first song around locally before it is actually released and the feedback has been amazing. I’m the feature on the track, but people have been coming back for my part. I got different age groups and races and genders loving the song so far. And it has been shared from Texas, where I reside, to Atlanta, Seattle, Tennessee, just to name a few. I’ve gotten questions about when it releases on iTunes for purchase. I’ve played the song for people in bars and grocery stores WITHOUT telling them who it was for a less biased opinion. I played it in my car when at drivethrus and had people dancing to the song before I told them who it was. When the song releases, I’m hoping those people will visit the official release. So my tip to you is to work hard on one song. Share it locally. If you think it sounds great, get opinions. But the greatest tip of all is to listen to yourself in the end.

Yes, it building hype and excitement, doing sample Demos of your music is super important, to see it’s get there attention & the mood to buy it

Great content, i'm glad this showed up in my recommendations

Nice content and info i definitely will stick with you, Bless 🙏

Me when I barely finish a song...... I GOTTA POST THIS IMMEDIATELY!

Nice to see a video that pretty much gets to the point and gives a decent amount of direct practical advice without rambling

This is great! Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I really needed to hear it.

This is great, can't wait to try this ! Spotify and pre save link something I would like to try.

I'm going to start uploading my music with most of these steps except writing a press to the blog and getting radio play, I'm a bit shy. Thank you for the advices anyway x

I'm working my way straight to the top 🙌 wishing all other small artists luck 💜 hope to see y'all blowing up one day

I have 4 Comedy Albums and am about to record a 5th. Great tips! Thank you

Everything is there, in less than 10min! THank you for that!

Currently rebranded myself after taking a year off (thought I was giving up for good at the time, but missed music too much so I came back), have 2 tracks out of 2 recorded so far, and making sure I'm not releasing anything until I apply all these tips first

Thank you so much for this! Following your advice and am still snagged on the following issue, your expertise/opinion would be so apprecitiated:

Thank you for taking the time out to do this video. Very helpful

Let's do this! 🙏

Thank You .. I am so knocked out by your willingness to take time to instruct and help others like me .. again Thank You

These Burstimo videos seems to be the best, of their type, on KZfaq. Clear and current instructions that don't feel like a scam that's waiting to happen.

You guys make great content! Your channel will blow up any day now!

Almost popped through my screen. Something good

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creating this video! It’s just what I needed. Cheers!

This was very helpful going to implement these tips for my next upcoming singles thanks !

This video is extremely good. Straight to the point. Keep it up

Funny how I've never heard about the people who give the advice to blow up, I'd trust a major musician or producer but maybe not Mr.RandomDudeMcGee

WOWWW! thanks so much for this video, definitely using it for my next song release!!

You're really cool I love your attitude... I cannot help but find it really stressful to think about all this stuff, I don't know if you are a musician but, maybe we're pre disposed to a "quicker" level of intolerance of like social media or something I don't know. But more power to you and you inspire me also. 🙂

Finally some sensible advice! This is times more effective than Chris Greenwood's "smart music business", which isn't even free to begin with.

Just what I need☺️ Many thanks!

thank you for the tips. I"m trying to put a program together for everything that I end up releasing new music!

I´ll start this journey right now. It is like you gave a ted talks conference in 8 minutes. Thanks for all the info, very useful.

Thank you! That was very helpful.

I wish more musicians understood the need for professional photos. I am musician and a professional photographer. If only the musicians in the Houston, tx. area would get this, I would have more money for musical equipment! Lol! Thx for this, liked, favorited, and subbed. 😎

You have the best music promotion videos anywhere, thank you for all the great info.

Thanks one more time for the amazing video. Yes! I would suggest to explain a bit more on contacting radio station for the release, specially how to contact and "present" yourself and the release, how to create a good impression, you know many artists lack this confidence when selling their own music.... So would be nice if you can explain a bit more. Anyways thanks so much for the video!

U guys are the real deal

I love love love English accents man😩❣️😂

thanks for the tips, we have released a new song 1 week ago, we will try to apply theses tips next release

I actually had to rewatch and write down all this tips once again. I love your info.

These were some useful tips!

she had me at the English accent they just hit different w/ the music IQ radiohead, pink floyd, adele, sia, benee..

Thanks for the video. I will definitely go through these steps for my next release!

Amazing content Burstimo. I love it.

I think the tip that helped me the most was the pre save link. Ive always known about the pre save link but really thinking about it its important to push out to your friends to build up hype

Tip no. 11 feature artists who are on the come up.

Oh those were jeans, for a second i thought your legs went into the seats😂 great video btw🔥thanks appreaciate it

I love how she says "get radio play" like it's that easy 😂😂
