im a business owner in the independent music industry who has to post content. i am NOT an influencer. and im sure as hell NOT trying to turn artists into influencers either.

difference is myself and my peers have been working in the music industry for over a decade (two decades in my case). some of you are spectators who think you know everything because you can spew some sales numbers. go back and sit in the stands where you belong.

even anderson paak and cordae have been rolling out their album for the past TWO MONTHS. a strategy works when you take the time to put it in place.

some artists can't wait to slam dunk other independent artists. how unfortunate.

yes IG is a visual platform but that doesn't mean you completely ignore the text that goes around it. captions are incredibly important as they provide context AND detail for something you're demanding support from.

an artist recently said they used AI art as a marketing plan to "ruffle some feathers"......some artists will legitimately do anything EXCEPT put together an actual rollout and plan.

-update your website. -type out your lyrics from releases you missed. -get your producers involved in your rollout.

Michael Stover I Artist & Creative Marketing I @bigsto.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

ima just start saying this weekly since it ruffled some feathers last week. go back and promote the playlists you've landed on. post em on socials. throw em in your newsletter. put em on your website. plenty of ways to use it as a marketing tool.
