1. Make Sure Your Song is Amazing:
In the music industry, a song is likely to break even if it sound amazing and it all boils down to it’s lyrics, voice of the artiste, production, mixing and mastering.
Nobody wants to listen to a song that is poorly produced, mixed, mastered or with bad voice and be happy. Let me ask you this. Let’s say you use your last 5MB to download a song on the internet and you later discovered the song is bad (production, mixing, voice and lyrics). Won’t you regret downloading such song? Will you every try to download a song from the same artiste next time? I guess not, I wouldn’t too.
This is why it is advisable to make sure you sound amazing in your song with better lyrics, production, mastering and mixing. Don’t be the type of artiste or musician that will go around begging producer to produce a song for you 3k or 5k, most of these producers even if they are professional will intentionally mix or master your song poorly because you paid low.
Don’t be afraid to spend your money on production.
2. Shoot a Video for at Least One of your Song if Possible:
Good visual is a way of showing to your fans what your music speaks about especially if it has a little drama in it. With this your listeners/viewers will get to know better or understand better what your Song/music speaks about.
As an upcoming Gospel Artiste, you can shoot a standard video at an affordable price of 40k to 50k nobody will criticize you for that, just make sure you hire a good (if not the best) video producer. After shooting the video, Look for a Good or Professional YouTuber to help you post the video on your YouTube Channel.
