I am a DJ and want to build my fans

11 replies
Any advise at all would be appreciated on this, any DJs out there who have found a good way to boost fans? Or any one know anything about the DJ niche?

  • Dreamtunnel,

    I haven’t marketed DJ services in general but If you are looking to grow your followers on Facebook, you can always try FB PPC which is a very effective way to build an audience. I would also focus on making the page appealing with lots of pictures and perhaps some useful applications.
    You could also try fangating your page by offering a sample song or something like that in exchange for a like on your page.
    All that being said I’m not sure if you are talking about Facebook or not.

    Best,

    Shawn

    If you are doing your own music, I would strongly suggest signing up with SoundCloud - Share Your Sounds

    Hey dreamtunne (my first post yay!)l, nightlife is actually my area of expertise
    Working with clubs, dis, artists on their marketing including social media.

    Like any fan page, growth takes time. A few starter tips:
    . If you DJ anywhere currently, make biz cards w your fb page URL (even throw in a qr code) and hand them out
    . Also have your URL on the event posters and flyers if you can
    . Make sure you page looks good. Nice profile pic, cover page, get a logo done for yourself (DJ name logo)
    . Take pics at the clubs you work at (and even party at - "DJ abc partying at club xyz) and post them on your page as content
    . Record some short mixes of your sets and use soundcloud to post them here and link to your Facebook page.
    . Add content like the above weekly so people have a reason to keep up to date with you
    . Like mentioned you may want to buy ads to help promote the page to like music minded people (same tastes)

    A few small basic tips for ya!
    Good luck

      Advertising on local blogs related to what you offer can be a great way to reach people that can become paying clients for a low price. Many local blogs will write a post about you or give you a banner ad for as low as $20. Try reaching out to them directly and offering them something of value such as content. Local blogs in areas such as weddings and event planning can offer a perfect opportunity to form a mutually beneficial relationship. Even though I do Facebook ads for a living, I would try the blog approach before doing Facebook PPC. I would also do Google PPC before doing Facebook PPC for your business. A YouTube ad with a video of you could also work great!

    Soundcloud!

    I would say without a doubt soundcloud is the most valuable tool for a DJ / Producer.
    Build up your soundcloud following, post weekly / fortnightly mixes. After soundcloud, you should build up a twitter account

    Just curious, do you have your music on any of the major music websites? MySpace, iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, etc? Those might be a great place to start. I know Ronald Jenkins got his start through Pandora -- a pretty amazing story by itself.
