How to Create a Fanbase From Scratch
Back in February, I interviewed Ariel Hyatt about how to create a successful crowd funding campaign.
The first thing you need to build a successful crowdfunding campaign is, well, a CROWD!
It seems obvious, I know – and yet you’d be shocked how often I get this question from people who have 150 names on their email list and want to know how to use kickstarter raise $10,000 to record a CD!
But a fanbase is more than a crowdfunding necessity! A healthy fanbase will help you to:
- Fill the seats when you play a venue
- Buy your CD’s, downloads and merch (also known as making a living)
- Spread the word about how awesome you are to all their friends and family (take you viral)
- Build a successful, profitable and sustainable business doing what you love!
So, how do you create your crowd from scratch? In this class you’ll discover:
- How to use live performance to build your fanbase
- How to use internet marketing and social media marketing to build your fanbase
- The 3 mistakes that artists make in creating their list
- Now that you’ve got fans, what do you do with them?
By the way, these techniques will also work to expand your fanbase if you’ve already got one started!
