1️⃣ Your reaction to hearing your mix for the first time
💡 Pro tip: Most likely, you've already heard your mix (especially if you're a producer), so make sure to record yourself listening on a set of speakers you haven't heard it on yet (like in your car doing the "car test").

2️⃣ Have someone "secretly" film you performing
💡 Pro tip: Act like you don't know the camera is there and perform your song, or if you're a producer, listen to your mix on speakers in the studio.

Artists: Want to Collab? 🤔🔥
Collabing is one of the easiest ways to get more followers & streams in 2026...
I found an epic new free app that matches you with artists in your style who actually want to collab.

3️⃣ Call out a famous artist who would like your song
💡 Pro tip: The goal is to get the attention of the famous artist (people will comment and tag them). Make sure the artist you call out is someone who sounds similar to your style of music.

4️⃣ Sneakily film yourself at work
💡 Pro tip: Try to be in your work outfit and in a location that looks like a job or office. If you work from home, try to dress in a dress shirt or something that makes it look like you're working. People love an underdog, so showing yourself at your day job can get you a lot of support.

5️⃣ Connect with people who love your genre
💡 Pro tip: You don't need live show footage to do this. Any footage of you performing can work. However, if you can film in an interesting location (a park, the beach, etc) it can help grab more attention than just your bedroom or a classic nightclub looking scene.
