1. Define Your Niche 🎯

 

✅ Identify the type of people you want to attract (fans, collaborators, industry leaders).

✅ Highlight what makes you and your music unique—your style, story, or vibe.

✅ Brainstorm how to showcase your uniqueness in your content consistently.



2. Optimize Your Profile 📲

 

✅ Use a profile picture that’s a clear, close-up shot and stands out visually.

✅ Craft a bio that reflects your niche, highlights your personality, and includes a call-to-action (check out my bio guide).

✅ Add an “About” highlight to introduce yourself, your music, and your story.



3. Find Content Inspiration 🎥

 

✅ Choose 2-3 accounts that inspire you and align with the type of content you want to create.

✅ Save their best posts to an IG folder called “References” for quick ideas.

✅ Screenshot their most engaging Stories and save them to a dedicated album on your phone.



4. Build a Content Plan 📋

 

✅ Set specific days for filming, editing, and posting (grab my schedule here).
