4 Reasons Your Instagram Account Isn’t Growing | Artist Music Marketing Strategy

First comment!! big fan of you guys thanks for always working to stay up to date. I actually prefer this new direction of quality over quantity

thank you!

Thanks for the update

Thank you

Finally, a video I’ve watched in 2024 about indie artists that that didn’t make me feel defeated and like the music game is to hard. Thank you ✌️

Thank you! Good reminders

Instagram feed is just for "aesthetic things" right now and it's the reason why instagram is dying,is not natural anymore. The reason why artists should focus more on Tik tok to be discovered

Here is a tip for YOU: Try to see all this social media bs from THEIR perspective. All they want is to hook you to indirectly make money from your content. That’s all it is. They just wouldn’t do it otherwise. Just think for a second!! 🧠
Don’t tell me I’m “using it wrong”. THEY use US. By engaging in this elbow race all you do is creating money for instagram & co. You really think you can post your way to the top against millions of bands and artists worldwide???? 😂
Young people realize this more and more. Soon (we’ll “soon”) this will be over. Just like FB died, Insta will. Pssst: AI is everywhere now. No need to post all day 🫢.

…And now give me a thumbs up as your algorithmic master requires it from you. ; )

This is all really good advice, cheers. However, I've been on IG for over 4 years and have watched my engagement tank. Now maybe I'm not staying up-to-date with the latest trends and hacks, but something has changed, and I hear the same from other musicians (i.e. it's getting much harder to reach people).

Always learning ❤️all the best to both of you !

Thanks Mandy!!

You didn't mention hashtags at all. Is that intentional and thereby deliberately indicating that they don't matter? It seems to me when I use hashtags I only get bot/trash accounts engaging with whatever I post. Maybe I answered my own question here, but curious on your view. Thanks!

I believe the current meta (pun intended) is that reels are not the most important thing? They are kinda returning to the oldschool ordinary posts

Thanks for the helpful video! Would love to see one about TikTok as well

In My opinion, independent artists need to exclusive social media app to introduce their brand & their career for all genres music listeners. Tiktok or others aren't useful enough to artist promotion at this time.

Burstimoooooooooooooooooooooooo yo what's up Broc domino effect ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 happy New Year

Thank you very much good idea @rancolink

Nobody needs a label

Agreed. The issue here is what if your account started as a personal account and later became a music dedicated one. Thing is the likes aren’t coming making your content static cuz your existing followers don’t care about your music. I’ve literally created a personal account and removed people who don’t care about my music. But, my existing followers are also not engaging. So, what do I do? Do I literally just remove people who don’t like my music?

As if no artist is doing this already😂 no disrespect I appreciate the info, but this advice is surface level more of the same "create content, post reels, captions etc"

Great info thank you 🙏🏼

These people SUCK. I tried their suscription and their Customer SERVICE IS THE WORST!!!

Am I the only one who thinks she looks and sounds like Tom Holland

But what if someone bought me 300 followers? He actually wanted to harm my account, that's what he said. But do I have to start a new account now?

valid points. thank you very much

What streaming app do you recommend. ❤ For artists

Home run of a post.

Hugely helpful. Great video, Maddy. Thank you

You are doing it amazing and it was super helpful! Thank you!

As always, great content. @Burstimo
I’ve utilized a lot of what you taught with musicians i met and my own projects and I’m seeing great results.
A quick q, I wonder perhaps if there’s room to work in your agency?

My problem

Very good video. I love coffee just as much lol.

What did you mean by “if you’re following/unfollowing”

thank you 💚 i was actually relieved after watching this you're one of the few who kept our authenticity untouched as artists. Thanks again God Bless.

I have a musoc and production account . Yes it is to promote me and my work but mainly for me talking about things i love. Like heres a cool sound design or i love these songs
