Music Coach Tip # 39 - HOW SIMPLE YOU CAN BUILD A FANBASE IN ONE YEAR?
Updated: Sep 10, 2019
Of course you want as many fans as possible but your approach may be too wild or your goal maybe too ambiguous. If I was your coach I’d say, start very simply. For one year, speak to 3 different people everyday about what you do.
Track it so you know where you are and if you completed it for the day. Bring them in to a way can keep in contact with them. ie: followers, email address, subscribers, etc. Just 3 per day will get you almost 1,100 people for your fan base in a year.
As you are growing your fan base every single day, you’re to keep engaged with the people that come into the fold. Every interaction, including on social media platforms, has a trick to it to keep people interested or at the very least leaving a seed in their minds to grow over time. I can get onto all that later or DM me and I'll explain. You just want to have top of mind awareness to your most motivated of fans.
So about that 1,100 new followers you picked up in a year. At 100% conversion, that’s all of them buying your next $9.99 release, would generate almost $11,000 for you. But we live in reality so if you’re engaged right, your conversion goal should be upwards of 50%. No less than half should be buying your works on a release. $5500 isn’t that bad of a takeaway.
As your list and audience grows you’ll have less control on engaging so that conversion rate may drop but only in percentage. 25% of 8,000 is still the same as 50% of 4,000. Don’t fret. Set an amount you want to make and find the number of fans that will give it to you.
My goal is to continue to be consistent in bringing value every single day to emerging artists and music professionals. Follow me @TheMACoach on Twitter (Turn on your notifications) 🔔
