How To Get Your First 500 Followers

We are back this week with some tops tips How To Get Your First 500 Followers around social media.

We’ve all heard of the theory of 1000 true fans, right? If not, that’s okay. “1000 True Fans” is an article written by an author named Kevin Kelly. His premise was that you don’t need millions of followers to make a career out of a creative/artistic lifestyle. But you only need 1000 true fans; these are people that truly support you. Fans are the people that will attend all your events, buy your books, and purchase your merchandise.

Using his theory I was able to build a 500+ following for my band and artist social media pages by following these simple steps:

One: Make sure you have a clear username that is easy to read and understand.

Two: Make sure to use up to 30 strategic hashtags on your posts. Look into what hashtags are trending around the same drum categories as hashtags can change rapidly.

Three: Plan our how much content you can commit to releasing. Consistency is key across social media. Show up for your followers.
