Here are Twitter marketing tips for music producers to promote beats, music, and products. Gain more followers and improve your brand.
Twitter Marketing Tips for Producers & Musicians
1. Content Marketing
You should have a blog or a website that you can add helpful articles to. You should write content that is directed towards potential customers.
Promote that content on Twitter to get people to come to your website. Your website should have beat players on the sidebar and beat-related links to get visitors to those beat-related pages.
2. Network with Others
Retweet, comment, and build relationships with other music makers on Twitter. By building relationships and supporting others, you will get back the same support from others who will promote and share your content and beats.
3. Search for Potential Customers
You can do a search on Twitter for “I Need Beats,” and you will find tons of potential customers looking for beats.
Reply to those people or direct message them.
Also, search for #beats, and you will find some people as well.
4. Offer Limited Time Promotions
Once a month, run a promotion encouraging people to buy beats in the next seven days to get beats at a discounted rate.
Many businesses time promotions with a holiday to get creative. Example: Christmas Sale, Halloween Sale, etc.
5. Retweet Helpful Content
Retweet articles and tweets that will be useful to your audience. Sharing informative content will position you as helpful, informative, and will help to build trust with customers.

Create videos to help promote your brand, music, and gain new fans.

Not spamming my website link
We’re trying out content marketing to see how it works out. Depends heavily on blogging and sharing other peoples good content (videos, articles, etc). through twitter and pulling people in like that, instead of just pushing out a sales message. Also building relationships with people, starting conversations on twitter and retweeting good tweets – ish like that. I don’t think twitters a good place to just hard sell your beats
You have to talk to and interact with people. It’s not just about posting a link somewhere. You want me to click that? Why, because you have beats? Why should I click on your link and not that other guy’s? It’s more about letting people into your world. Saying more than just HOT BEATS with a thousand exclamation points after it. If you make quality, original content, constantly interact with people on an individual basis, answer questions, post pictures and just share your world with your followers and fans, they will feel more engaged in what it is you’re doing. Be careful with spamming and repeating the same post over and over again. Be creative, use your imagination, tell me something different. Make me want to click that link! You can also post videos directly to twitter and let people watch without having to leave the site. This helps tremendously as a lot of people are Internet-lazy and hate having to click too many things to reach their destination. Get out there and interact!
I keep my networks organized by creating twitter lists. (artists, graphic designers, singers, rappers, etc.) I interact personally and professionally with prospects, clients & others alike.
This was good. There is some gold in these 6 tips. I think beat makers (and MC’s) miss out when they a)aren’t on Twitter and b) when they don’t utilize Twitter to its full extent. Thanks for this.
Great info, much appreciated
