How, Why, and When to Advertise Your Music

How, Why, and When to Advertise Your Music

The following is a guest post from Aaron Ford, digital advertising manager for online media distributor The Orchard. Aaron regularly helps recording artists advertise on various networks, so we feel like he probably knows what he’s talking about when it comes to advertising music. We hope this is of interest to recording artists and readers who are curious about the decisions artists face when contemplating how, why, and when to advertise their songs.

Deciding to spend money to increase awareness of your project is a big decision. You’ve probably already spent a ton of money creating your art and the idea of spending again may be anathema to you. You may have already gathered the funds for a large-scale media purchase and are ready to go. I don’t know this and have no supernatural powers. I’m just writing a blog post for The Daily Rind and trying to help.

Managing our clients’ and our internal advertising budgets, I’ve seen the gamut of situations in which advertising could be useful and have executed campaigns. I’ve found that a step-by-step thought-process prevents one from completely blowing it. Completely blowing it can mean wasted money or a project no one knows about. This is my process and the one I recommend to others.

1. Define your goals – What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to grow awareness, or drive those that are already aware to a place to purchase?

2. Define your message – What is the message you want to deliver? Go through the process of creating a simple sentence “Promote the new video duh!” is not good. Your message is something like “Watch this video and learn more about this artist.”

3. Research your fans and potential fans – Who should receive this message? You may not know who your fans are as much as you think you do. Even if you’re the label, you can lack perspective. You have no objectivity and that’s normal. Rely on data and numbers to combat your definite bias. Use tools such as Facebook Insights. Pay special attention to the “People” tab. Those are the ones who engage with your page. Some people are lazy and just Like pages they do not plan to engage with. The “People” tab shows you who the engagedfans are; the people who will buy your stuff. You may also find tools like Google Analytics, Beluga (free), Next Big Sound, Musicmetric, and others handy. Create useful names for the different segments: “18 – 24 year old bros in Arizona who love action sports” or “Hipsters that pirate your stuff in Silverlake.” All of this is valuable if you create segments that mean something to you.

4. Identify your targets – Who do you want to receive the message based on your research? Maybe you’ve found that your audience is “75 – 85 year old vagrants with an iPod touch and Starbucks WiFi.” This is not an audience that is worth your hard-earned, borrowed, or stolen ad dollars. If your goal is to create awareness for a video, even though most of your audience are these vagrants, you should target the small part of your audience that is of a demographic using the platform on which your video is published. If your budget is limited, you should focus first on the fans most likely to purchase and only go outside of that fan-base after you’ve given the core fan-base every opportunity to give you money. They can be best targeted through tracking pixels from third parties such as Google, Facebook, or The Trade Desk.

5. Devise your strategies – In what voice do you want to deliver your message? What’s your angle? Are you enticing people with a free track?

6. Decide which tactics you will use – What tactics will you employ to execute the strategy? Video? Search Ad? Retargeting Landing Page visitors with banners? Asking a question in a promoted post? Leveraging memes such as Doge (such link. so lol)?

7. Identify the platforms / technology you will use – Where will you deploy your tactics? Facebook? Google Search? Bing Search? LinkedIn? Banner inventory on the coolest sites? Video inventory?

8. Execute your campaign – Double-check everything. A misspelling or typo can be absolutely devastating to your cause. You don’t want that. We don’t want that. Deploy your campaign at hours of peak traffic for your audience, strategy, tactic, and platform. This may mean that you deploy each part at a different time.

9. Optimize your campaign – Don’t just let it sit there spending your money. Constantly optimize. What’s working? What’s not? Don’t be alarmed by lower click-through-rates (CTR) on banner ads than you see on Search ads. Banners are about impressions and you are billed per impression. Search is about clicks and you are billed per click.

10. Recap your campaign – Even if you are doing your own digital advertising, you should do this step. Create a document that is an overview of the campaign. You will find nuggets of information in this document that you will not find by just looking at numbers on the platforms.

11. Learn from your campaign – After you have created this document ask yourself if it was a success. Go back to your goals. Did your video get more views than they would have without it? Did your Facebook page see a higher rate of engagement? What would you do differently next time?

Spending money to promote your work is a big deal and it’s worth your time to go through this process to make sure you don’t completely blow it. I’d love to answer any questions (no centaur questions) or address any feedback so do not hesitate to comment.

Moore Oklahoma Police Kills Person on camera

MEMPHIS TN (IFS) -- Moore Oklahoma police kills Luis Rodriguerz for nothing right in front of his wife and children. The incident involved a domestic issue between the wife and the daughter. Mrs. Rodriguerz slapped her 19 year old daughter and the ploice was called.

 Instead of arresting Ms. Rodriguerz, they jumped on Mr. Rodriguerz instead and beat him to death without any reason. The chief of police calls this action justified.

What a bunch of stupid ass punks in Moore Oklahoma with badges. They are so self righteous and they know everything. Let's face it, today's younger police officers in rural America are not trained to well, if at all.  They have a "mob" mentality and they are just a chip off the old "lynch -em and high -em days" and their commanding officers uphold their actions.

Well they better know this, that they don't have enough money in the city and county treasure that's going to bankrupt them. Plus they have to deal with the Department of Justice.  There was this case in California called 'Rodney King", remember?  Not only did the City of Los Angeles have to pay upwards of millions of dollars, they lost millions in riots too.

They will end up in prison for excessive force. I hope each and everyone of them end up with some some crazy guy they arrested years before. As for as the smart ass 19 year old daughter, she just lost her father and destroyed her family forever, because she disrespected her family by lying to them. It was not a good idea for the mother to assault her daughter in the parking lot or any where else. And the most insulting thing of all, is the person that did all of the hitting was not even arrested. So, what's the morale of this story? Stay the hell out of Moore Oklahoma and avoid that place like it had the plaque, and it does. . .it's police officers jump to the wrong conclusions and lie like hell, even on camera!!

Bobby Smith

In the past on Bobbys' previous albums he had artists who have either toured with or recorded with Kim Fleming, Amy Grant, Patti Labelle, Michael Jackson, George Harrison (The Beatles), Keith Richards (Rolling Stones) Wynona Judd, Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, Henry Mancini, Paul Simon, Michael Bolton, Stevie Wonder, and Lee Greenwood.

Mostly involved in backup vocals at Nashville Studios as well as different instrumentalists at various recording studios in the southeast mostly CCM music that has been heard in over 100 countries with very positive reviews from several radio stations and journalists especially in England available for viewing on his website.

He has just finished his new album Storybook Diaries that just became available. The songs can be heard via a link or a page on his website. The lead song I Should Have Known is sure to be to your liking with an upbeat arrangement about having an affair. All 8 songs tell a different story including A Soldiers Heart, Your're Out Of Control and You Rescued Me, a song with the setting in London with a disposition likened to Rip Van Winkle...

The album sells for $10.99 and is available on his site. Bobby spent years in recording studios writing, recording, and arranging his own music and working with various producers before deciding to start performing as a live entertainer.

His specialty is in the studio which is a lot of work with proofreading arrangements, lyrics, and singing with just the right vocal touch which all have to be beyond perfect to get attention in New York or Los Angeles which are the major worldwide distributors. See website for more info.

Diddy, Snoop Dogg Pop Up in Even More Ads You Never Thought They'd Do Hip-hop stars of the '90s keep on shilling

Diddy, Snoop Dogg Pop Up in Even More Ads You Never Thought They'd Do Hip-hop stars of the '90s keep on shilling By David Griner

• February 12, 2014, 12:20 PM EST

It's flashback week for fans of 1990s hip-hop, with Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs and Snoop Dogg making advertising cameos that would have seemed inconceivable 15 years ago.

Combs, known these days as Diddy, headlines a new 60-second spot from Fiat and ad agency Doner. In the ad, we see two men wandering the desert in a delirious haze, unsure if they're really being saved by a celebrity or just imagining a mirage.

Meanwhile, Snoop, who has gone by Snoop Lion lately, has popped up in, of all places, a British auto insurance ad from agency Mother. He narrates the story of a dorky white guy named Phil who saved money by getting insurance from MoneySuperMarket and now feels "epic." Feeling epic, in this case, means driving an invisible car and hanging out at inner-city street parties.

It's not exactly jarring to see these two iconic rappers in ads, since both have been frequent marketing mouthpieces in recent years. But it's still entertaining to imagine how they would have reacted to the words "Fiat" and "MoneySuperMarket" in 1997.

51 Predictions for the 2014 Music Industry

By Matt Voyno of The New Rockstar Philosophy.

Last year was a big year for the music industry. With streaming music controversies, huge album releases, and the release of the most important music industry book ever written, The New Rockstar Philosophy (co-authored by me), all making big waves in the music industry.

But that was last year, what about 2014? What are going to be the big events, technologies, trends that are going to shape this year?

Luckily for you I have consulted my crystal ball and have come away with 50 ideas that will be important for 2014. Big thank you to Chris De Jong for helping me. Check out his amazing monthly mixtape here.

Note! Obviously some of these are tongue and cheek so keep your flaming to a minimum, but I would like to hear what OTHER trends you think will be popular in 2014. Leave your thoughts in the comments.

51 Predictions for the 2014 Music Industry in no particular order:

1. Female fronted electronic artists like Grimes, Purity Ring, Chvrcheswill be bigger then ever.
2. Lyrics will matter more than ever.
3. Cover albums and cover singles will be back and an effective way to spread your sound.
4. More supergroups, in indie and the majors.
5. Reignwolf takes over the world.
6. But rock is still dead.
7. Minimalism, as a style and guiding musical principle "is in" for the mainstream and will only get bigger, ie Lorde, XX, Pharrell.
8. Kanye releases his next album, it's his best and biggest ever. Dies on tour in a freak stage accident.
9. Return of the female R&B group.
10. Internet rapstars (Riff Raff, Lil'B, etc) become a genre unto themselves. Like entertaining benevolent zombies.
11. New Rockstar Philosophy book and app become NYT best sellers.
12. Multi world product tie-ins become the norm with musicians/songs/albums involved in movies, tv shows, video games.
13. Twerking peaks. Diplo brings in something more intense.
14. Twitter continues to rise while Facebook jumps the shark continuing to make you pay more for less.
15. More and more artists partner with interactive artists (the people you see on Creators Project) to bring their artistic visions for their music to life.
16. People will be hip to the "Launching a social network/cell phone/water bottle to sell an album shtick" like Justin Timberlake/MySpace, and Jay-z/Samsung deal.
17. People will still be fooled into buying tix for aging rock stars.
18. Crazy, over-the-top box sets and deluxe versions of albums will become a bigger things for artists. Super profitable even for indies with dedicated fan bases. Case in point - Alexisonfire.
19. Independent artists hook up with app makers to spread their music in a bigger way.
20. Albums become less relevant.
21. Albums become more relevant.
22. Artist continue to complain about streaming.
23. The artists that stay in our consciousness are CONCEPT artists that create worlds around them.
24. Music blogging comes back but in a different way.
25. Podcasting continues to kill it.
26. YouTube continues to be the only place worth your time.
27. Streaming servicres continue to make inroads among young people under 24.
28. Artists will still be fooled by the major label dream.
29. Young bands will still go to SXSW and waste their time and money.
30. Artists finally tuning into how important/profitable unique merch is. Things like the Wavves weed grinder that are unique and speak to the artists audience.
31. World stars become more and more prevalent in North America.
32. There will be a new "Thing" that is supposed to save the music industry.
33. More and more musicians will be created via the low bar of entry with music creation apps.
34. Bands will continue to send unsolicited email to record labels, managers and festivals thinking they'll have a magic moment but that rarely, if ever, exists.
35. Save a tree, email it!
36. Tribute bands, not cover bands, will become a thing again. Especially as we approach the 2 decade mark for many classic 90s albums. I could see the return or Come As You Are a Nirvana tribute, or Bullet With Butterfly Wings a Smashing Pumpkins version, or Zooropa.. you get the picture.
37. Music for Yoga Classes becomes the biggest growing genre since internet rapstars.
38. The live show will still be the true test.
39. Female rappers own the year.
40. An oldster will release an album and people will go ape shit over it.
41. Lyric videos will increase in importance over conventional videos.
42. Even though fans hate it, the increasingly use of the 'album cover reveal' as part of the release build up.
43. Artists increasingly move in the direction of creating dedicated apps for albums and releases (esp on majors) - look at what Passion Pit did. This is only going to continue as it gets easier to build apps.
44. The success of Beyonce's surprise album (and the press and sales) make 2014 the year of zero-press surprise album launches by major artists. I'd be willing to bet money Kanye goes this route, especially after how few units Yeezus moved but how successful his tour was.
45. The whole 'trap-rave' movement reaches saturation and people start waxing nostalgic for the rave scene of the late 90's / early 2000's as it gets ever more annoying.
46. Soundcloud buys Bandcamp. Think about it.
47. YouTube does a major redesign of their player to focus on mobile, people hate it at first, but come to accept it.
48. More artists start bundling concert tickets with CDs to drive sales and fill seats but with mixed results.
49. More artists start to leak their own albums on the down-lo as conventional major labels get more and more sluggish. They see the press & exposure as nothing else.
50. Two things: music cruises & exotic concerts.
51. More and more young artists that only have two channels: Instagram & Tumblr
