Hey, community! Over the past three months, my YouTube channel has grown by nearly 60,000 subscribers, and it’s been an eye-opening journey. Here’s the ONE thing I’ve learned that can make all the difference for any artist trying to grow: it’s all about consistent connection with your audience. Here’s how you can do it too: 1️⃣ Post Consistently, But with Purpose It’s not just about uploading videos; it’s about creating content that truly speaks to your audience. Whether it’s music, behind-the-scenes footage, or personal stories, make sure every post feels intentional and adds value. 2️⃣ Engage Authentically Take the time to respond to comments, ask your followers questions, and even shout them out in your videos. The more you show you care, the more your audience will care about you. 3️⃣ Tell Your Story People don’t just follow music—they follow people. Share your journey, struggles, and wins. Make your audience feel like they’re part of your world, not just watching it from the outside. 4️⃣ Leverage Shorts & Reels Short-form videos are a goldmine for growth right now. Use them to share bite-sized performances, teasers of your songs, or even your thoughts. Stay creative and experiment with trends, but always stay true to your brand. Just three of my shorts from a minimum viable music video we shot in under 15 minutes got us over 250,000 views and +40k subscribers. 5️⃣ Be Patient and Persistent Growth isn’t always linear, but it’s worth it. Stay consistent, experiment with new ideas, and remember that every follower is a step closer to building the community you dream of. It took me two month of almost daily posting before I saw anything close to notable growth! I’m still learning every day, but I hope this inspires you to push harder and encourages you to connect deeper with your audience. Keep building something amazing with the freedom of being an independent artist because no labels are necessary! 💪 What’s one thing YOU’VE learned that’s helped you grow your platform?

To make a long post short who’s a great ad manager? Like weekly (bare min. Monthly) check ins and actually reachable and replies type guy. I’m running my own YouTube, Spotify and Meta ads but Meta and their weekly changes make me feel like I’m working towards being a marketer not a rapper. I know some conversions misfire and I can see that in my streams that the ads definitely work but I’m trying to get the cost per conversion WAY LOWER. This is a new ad set for a new project I put out a few weeks ago and I’m currently on the 4th ad. The first 2 I didn’t notice the Advantage+ until the ads were really running and getting a lot of conversations for folks my Grandpa age and the age group I set was 18-34.. but with Advantage+ that’s nothing but a suggestion to Facebook. On this 4th ad it seemed solid the first 2 days and now I’m looking at $1.20 a conversion 😭 and Ads manager is spend 40% this weekend. YouTube I got down packed… For 4 years Facebook been beating my ass on and off. Can someone help PLS @redeyedsi on all platforms. I’m completely cool with paying for someone else to do this part (And I went to school for marketing which I feel is sad but this is EXTREMELY time consuming). I’m open to anything at this point suggestions or agencies but if it’s someone trying to charge $300/month with no ad spend just to manage the account (Like the last guy quoted me) I’m good with these $1 conversions.
