how bands can promote their remixes so
while ago I made a video that talked
about bands and how to promote a fan and
one of the strategies was we mix a
popular song to print your own style if
you look at youtube any of the popular
songs and you do cover or remix there’s
all these other options that come up and
if you cover a popular song and put your
own spin on it that can get you known
and then also bring a new audience q and
I was recently watching one of my
favorite YouTube channels like Gary
Vaynerchuk and he answered the question
of how do you then go out and promote
this new cover that you make this remix
that you make through social media and
he had such a great answer that I
thought I’d share it and hopefully you
guys moved from his answer as well yes
he’s back draaga asks I’m an indie music
producer what tips do you have to
program my content using social media
marketing draga what’s up your back and
I respect that you’re an episode 1 and 2
you one day will be a trivia question so
the question is look your indie guy
you’re trying to promote I’m actually
gonna move the mic to Steve he’s not
even expecting this go there go there do
you the sound or you’re good with sudden
you know the cameras got its own sound
yeah go ahead say what you just said to
me so Tyga I looked at your Twitter
account and you posted a remix of a
rihanna track eight times in the last 24
hours since we aired the last episode of
the show actually that’s a little bit
overwhelming dragon now couple things I
think the thing to really think about is
listening I was actually clicking and so
I’ve got focused I don’t know what he
was doing everybody was replying to
somebody I like the replying in Twitter
that’s a tactic look here here’s what I
think it’s all about the quality of the
music matters building up your
soundcloud matters how does one do that
one of the ways to really do that is to
become old school in some ways believe
it or not I’m gonna go left field on you
how about some music message boards but
not spamming them becoming a part of
community how about searching every
single person that tweeted about Rihanna
Steve pull it up every single person who
tweeted about Rihanna let me guess but
I’m gonna think it’s a shitload right
and so in that shit load jumping in and
engaging with those people now you got
to spend a lot of time you decided to do
a Rihanna remix not me so that means
you’ve got to go through it and it’s
gonna take you a couple hours because
everybody’s between like Rihanna’s hot
fuck Rihanna all that stuff and you have
to find a people that are actually
talking about Rihanna’s music which I
don’t know probably small percentage of
what’s going on on Twitter you’ve got to
jump into that and engage with it
authentically engaging and you’ve heard
the 19 year old dude move is not saying
check out my track you’ve got to just
kind of you know jam with people I would
recommend if you’re jamming people and
jamming with people not jamming if
you’re jamming with people during that
period changing the URL in your Twitter
profile to be a direct link to the
Rihanna track that’s right folks that
was a tactic and that’s why I asked Gary
Vee is going to be a big-time show if
you’re deciding to do something specific
for a two-day period like draaga should
around engaging people route Rihanna’s
music that actually talked about the
music I recommend he changes his Twitter
profiles URL from his probably home page
or whatever he’s got going on to the
actual link to the soundcloud of that
show because while he’s engaging people
can be like who the hell’s draaga let me
click this link in his URL boom they’re
listening to that the viral loop gets
going the viral loop gets going justin
asks where are the best places for
hiring great employees these days what’s
your process
ah the best places to hire great
employees is actually this is kind of
like the honey and bees thing my process
is a little bit different I’m actively
running a social and digital agency and
I am at the lucky stage of my career
where I’m in own personality in that and
on public speaking I’m doing the
askgaryvee show plug and you know it’s
coming to us right I’m at that place now
so that’s not practical for the far
majority of people watching this and
because I want this to be practical I
would say what I would think is very
simply the best tactic for all of you
watching who want to hire good people is
to search the key terms on Twitter
search that are talking about the things
that you do for a living and then doing
the homework the dirty little secret is
my friends is most people don’t want to
work you know easy it is to find good
employees let me explain you go to
Twitter search you search the terms
around the job description that you want
not the job description terms but the
kind of things they be doing looking at
people talking about design websites
design forums design aspects and then
looking around what people are saying
then clicking on their profile clicking
their homepage probably landing under to
Stein portfolio finding for people that
you think do a good job emailing them or
tweeting at them saying do you want to
interview through job are you looking
for a job three of them for say no one
says yes the other three give you four
referrals that are kind of like them
you’ve got five people interview and you
hire one of those people but that just
took eight hours did in it and that my
friends is how you actually do it
because everybody’s looking for quick
tactics to make it easy and putting in
the work always always matters
