5 Social Media platforms to use to create/ expand your fanbase:
Although Facebook might not be the first
social media platform you think about because it kinda lost its coolness a few
years ago, it is still one of the most important ones to have. According to http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social-networking-websites
Facebook is ranked number one most popular social networking site with about 1,1 billion Unique Monthly Visitors. Therefore, in order to
create or extend your fanbase, it is crucial to have a (verified) Facebook
page.
Twitter
Twitter is said to be one of the fastest
real-time network where news break first. Due to its 140-characters-limit,
every post (or tweet) contains short, compressed information, which makes it so
vivid. That is why, if you want to keep your fans updated and entertained,
Twitter is another platform you should pay attention to.
Make no mistake by thinking Instagram is
only interesting for a DJ that has huge gigs with big crowds and private jets. When actually, with an Instagram post of even a 20-people-crowd or a picture of
what you do for fun is a great way to connect with your followers on a more
personal level, especially by showing gratitude (à la "thanks for coming to the gig/ club/ etc yesterday, it was an amazing night...". And that exactly is the key,
keep your Instagram personal as if you would give your fans an exclusive
insight into your “behind the scenes”.
Snapchat
We all know that Snapchat has become one of
the most important social media networks over the past few years. Sharing short
videos and photos of yourself, for example in the studio, teasing some new
songs or showing some parts of a DJ set, is also very entertaining for your fans
and gives you a chance to show your character. Try to get inspiration from
famous DJs like Calvin Harris (@calvinharris), Diplo (@diplo) and Martin Garrix
(@martingarrix). These guys are as well funny as just very original
and entertaining to watch.
