👇 Every artist can relate:
When it comes to making music, inspiration comes easily.
But when it comes to making content... You feel stuck.
Don't worry, today, I'll show you how to fix it in 3 easy steps!
Find your content style ✨
Just like how music has multiple genres, content has multiple styles.
When you find the style(s) you enjoy making most, it becomes easy to find content ideas to create.
The 10 most popular content styles for artists right now are:
🎤 Performance: Performing your music: Pressing play on your DAW, DJing, playing an instrument, singing, etc. (Watch example)
✨ Vibes: Creating a vibe with your music & hook that connects with your target audience/ideal fan. (Watch example)
📚 Storytelling: Creating a moment with your hook that people can imagine, which connects them with your music. (Watch example)
🔀 Transition: Creating a situation that hooks the viewer, then transitioning to your music. (Watch example)
🎓 Education: Teaching fellow musicians/producers and using your music as an example. (Watch example)
🥹 Motivational / Emotional: Connecting with someone emotionally ("hitting them in the feels") is one of the strongest connections you can make. (Watch example)
🃏 Comedy: Showcasing your music in a fun/funny way. (Watch example)
😳 Relatable: Relating to the viewer with your music or POV. (Watch example)
👀 Reaction: Getting someone's authentic reaction to your music. (Watch example)
👤 About Me: Tell a story that shares your music & helps people get to know you better. (Watch example)
Choose a main style ✅
Choose a favorite style to be your main style.
You can also blend styles, but having a main style that is represented in the majority of your content helps you stay consistent & build a loyal following.
Examples:
The main content style for @vanderluxmusic is "Vibes", but he also often blends in "Performance and "Storytelling".
The main content style for this @izzy.escobar is "Storytelling", but she often blends in "Performance", and "Motivational/Emotional".
