The 30 Minute Daily Strategy

Day 1:
10 minutes
– Use Twitter Search to find and follow potential new fans who are fans of similar artists.

10 minutes
– Post and schedule new updates for the next three days on Twitter and Facebook (using a free tool to schedule your status updates such as Bufffer or Hootsuite). 

– For starters, don't post anything more than two updates per day on Facebook (at least a few hours apart). 

– Twitter updates however, can be more numerous, if you're feeling eager and inspired. 

5 minutes
– Reply to every single tweet and comment you receive.

5 minutes
– Initiate one new discussion with someone whom you've never spoken to before on Twitter.

Day 2:
10 minutes
– Use Twitter Search to find and follow music industry professionals who are relevant to your goals (music bloggers or journalists, music supervisors, agents, managers, labels, publishers).

10 minutes
– Reply to every single tweet and comment that you receive.

5 minutes
– Initiate one new one-on-one discussion.
 
Day 3:
30 minutes
– Content Creation 

– Write and publish a short new blog post for your website. Always include an image. It can be about anything, just share something. It doesn't need to be about the music. Share your personality and your interests. 

– Share your new blog post on your Facebook and Twitter pages.

Day 4: 
Start back at Day 1 and repeat!

Next, apply the following concept into your schedule:

Two-Step Fast-Track Music Marketing Plan:

1.  Do something small once per week.
– a blog post, a new photo, a new video, a podcast, share an interview or review, a poem, a drawing, a painting… the sky's the limit.

2.  Do something bigger once per month.
– release a new song or EP, put up a new t-shirt or merch item for sale, or launch a new contest, or announce a new tour, or a new merch bundle (get all 3 for only $35!), or a new limited edition item (only 5 left!), or a podcast, or an internet video chat, or an acoustic StageIt performance with guests. You can do whatever you want, but just do something.

Remember, people use social media to be entertained and to stay connected to those they care about. Make yourself worth caring about. Don't advertise or spam your stuff onto people's profiles, that simply doesn't work and it annoys people, resulting in them un-following you.

In the world of social media, getting and keeping people's attention is the single most valuable commodity. Get their attention and don't lose it. Instead… 

Be Remarkable. Exceed Expectations.
Intrigue people with your awesomeness.
