Also, RFMP VI on Bandcamp!

Monday, 9 December (p.s.)

Collected recordings from my phone and made them into an album on Bandcamp! Free for listening and downloading - if you want to add it to your fan collection, you need to pay a $1 fee that I don't think goes to me..

(*edit, Bandcamp gets a 15% revenue share processing fee - actually made Seventy-Five cents off the album so far!!!)

my first ever time performing music in front of a crowd!!! This was so exciting to do and I can't wait to keep performing and writing songs!

Why DIY Marketing Isn't Enough to Grow Your Brand or Music in 2024

In today's fast-paced digital world, everyone thinks they can be a marketing expert. Watch a few Instagram videos, slap together some posts, and suddenly you’ve got a marketing plan, right? Wrong. The truth is, if you're serious about growing your brand or music career, the "do-it-yourself" approach is doing more harm than good. Simply put, there’s a reason why experienced marketing professionals exist – they get results that random social media hacks never will.

The Real Problem with DIY Marketing

It’s wild how many people will do everything except invest in the right team to properly market their brand. We’re talking about the folks who’ll buy ads they don’t know how to target, or spend hours editing a video that barely reaches their core audience. And don’t even get me started on those who think following a few Instagram tutorial videos makes them experts in digital marketing.

Here’s the thing: exposure, brand awareness, and sales generation require more than just hitting the "Boost Post" button on IG. If you think you can make it big by trial and error with no professional strategy, you’re selling yourself short. Effective marketing is about knowing where your audience is, how to engage them, and how to convert that engagement into real sales.

Why Hiring Professionals Is Essential

There’s a reason why established brands and successful independent artists invest in creative marketing agencies. It’s not just about having pretty visuals or a few viral posts. It’s about creating a long-term strategy that’s backed by data, experience, and the right networks to get your brand seen by the right people.

A seasoned marketer or agency knows how to:

Target the right audience: They use data and tools to make sure your ads and promotions are hitting the right demographic, not just random followers.

Create engaging content: It’s not just about making noise; it’s about creating content that speaks to your audience and compels them to take action.

Maximize platforms: There’s more to life than Instagram. A professional will know how to leverage YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, and more to create a full-scale promotional blitz.

Generate measurable results: At the end of the day, it’s not about likes and follows – it’s about sales, streams, and brand growth. Professionals know how to deliver results that actually move the needle.

Social Media "Experts" Can’t Pull This Off

We get it – Instagram is full of people offering quick marketing advice. But let’s be real: watching a couple of 60-second videos isn’t going to teach you how to craft an effective strategy that leads to long-term success.

Successful marketing requires more than just surface-level tips. It requires an understanding of the platforms, the market, and the psychology behind why people engage with certain brands. It also demands creativity – the kind that’s developed over years of experience, not a few IG tutorials. You can't fake your way to real results in this game.

The Real Cost of Not Investing in Marketing

Let’s talk about the real cost here. While you’re busy trying to figure out marketing on your own, your competitors are investing in creative agencies and experts who are getting their brands in front of the right audience. They’re building credibility, growing their fanbase, and generating sales while you’re stuck trying to crack the algorithm.

Without the right marketing strategy, you’re not just losing money – you’re losing opportunities. Every day spent DIY-ing is a day your brand or music isn't reaching its full potential. And in today’s fast-moving digital world, that’s a risk you can’t afford to take.

Time to Stop Playing and Invest in Real Marketing

If you're ready to stop playing small and take your brand or music career to the next level, it's time to invest in real marketing. That means hiring experienced professionals who know how to create and execute strategies that deliver results.

At trapLA, we’ve been helping indie artists and brands rise above the noise and get the exposure they deserve. From social media marketing to direct-to-consumer strategies, we know how to create campaigns that actually make an impact.

So, are you ready to level up and let the experts handle your marketing? Let’s get to work.

Have you been spending all your money and time on making music and shooting videos, but still not getting any exposure? Tired of just spinning your wheels? You know to get exposure you need to get featured on blogs, radio stations, playlist, and get your music e-mail blasted out to the masses. Need help getting all that done? Then check out the Package we’ve made available for you below!
