Proper etiquette for sharing your music<br />

Contrary to your personal beliefs<br />

not everyone is going to want to<br />

hear your blazing new track. I<br />

know crazy right you spent a lot<br />

of time and money on creating this<br />

new Grammy worthy track! You<br />

even went on social media and<br />

@ everyone on your timeline but<br />

folks still are not hitting the link to<br />

witness the greatness that is your<br />

master piece.<br />

guarantee folks hit the link<br />

not only to listen to your<br />

Grammy worthy single but<br />

to also become a fan and a<br />

supporter.<br />

Simply follow the steps<br />

below:<br />

Step 1. Pin your new single<br />

to your social media profiles.<br />

Doing this will allow those<br />

interested supporters, djays,<br />

and program directors using<br />

the proper email etiquette<br />

(refer to the July Issue of<br />

<strong>Misfit</strong> <strong>Tunes</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> if<br />

you are not familiar with the<br />

proper etiquette). This will<br />

ensure you reach those that<br />

would enjoy hearing you new<br />

track.<br />

ARTIST TOOLKIT :: SHARE NOT SPAM<br />

What an outrage right NO! It<br />

is not an outrage. Well maybe<br />

for you but I would be<br />

willing to bet hose that you<br />

randomly shared your music<br />

with feels more abused than<br />

outraged.<br />

Understand I am not saying<br />

your single is not good or<br />

does not deserve to be heard<br />

yet what I am saying is there<br />

is a proper way to share your<br />

single with people that would<br />

yield a better outcome and<br />

that visit your profile to see<br />

your single as your first post.<br />

This will also keep the single<br />

as a focal point.<br />

Step 2. Market and promote<br />

your single weeks leading up<br />

to its release. Doing this will<br />

alert people that you have<br />

new music coming. It will<br />

also prevent you from flooding<br />

your timeline with the<br />

same post becoming a pest to<br />

those that follow your feed.<br />

Step 3. Send an email to all<br />

Step 4. Schedule three<br />

tweets a day the first in the<br />

morning between 7am and<br />

10am, the second afternoon<br />

between 12pm to 3pm, and<br />

the third and the final in the<br />

evening between 5pm and<br />

8pm. <strong>The</strong>se times have been<br />

identified as peak social media<br />

traffic times. Scheduling<br />

will ensure you do not flood<br />

timelines.<br />

HAPPY SHARING!<br />
