    honestly I kinda love the Burstimo vids which is why I subbed. feels like your viewpoint on sharing music makes sense. Main thing I want is to make music every day - for that to be a life-long reality, I need a fanbase - means I need exposure. it's exciting to share my best work with people, but also hard to figure out and a bit intimidating. this vid helped a lot - especially for reassurance ^_^

    Interesting video guys! Your one of the only music marketing youtubers I trust these American guys seem to chat so much waffle when it comes to marketing, nowadays whenever I'm listening to an artist on Spotify I like I tend to check out there Instagram profile to see if there is anything on there I can model, for the most part electronic producers suck at social media marketing! It amazes me how many people don't post regularly or have really boring content ( no one cares about your screen recording of your song played on the radio!!!) I'm at ground zero with 88 followers -mostly friends & family but hey its a start, I did also remove 20 followers that were spam accounts.This has definitely given me some ideas at what to post as currently have removed all my posts to start a fresh.

The house wins first btw (IG, FB, TikTik, etc ad-nauseum). Well, maybe start a new game? Artists, if you see everyone is 'zigging'....maybe try 'zagging'? :)
