#can you upload reels to facebook

[jung-koook]

are you making those gifs just from the yt shorts/ig reels of I AM STILL that they are posting? it doesn't even look like it bc the quality of the gifs is so good D:

If you want to talk about quality you've come to the right person! LAKSKSALKS everyone loves high quality files but sometimes I do crazy things for files that not even my friends can do. such as my paid weverse files. I always want the original quality and with screen record we don't have that, so I literally gave my email and password to someone on a forum so they can download my files from my weverse account in the original quality. this person just said "hi, I know how to download paid files from weverse using codes, do you want me to do it for you?" and I, who don't know this person, said "omg please, thank you so much for doing this for me". 😅😭 also download torrent files from suspicious websites. the list is long LKASKLAKSAS but I can give you some tips on how to always find good quality files, at least files that are free or easier to find.

try to join in exclusive forums like kpop24hrs or a harder like jpopsuki and avistaz. I had an account on jpopsuki, but maintaining an account there is very hard for me, I am someone who doesn't keep files saved on my laptop. there is a forum called "torrent invites" where some people go there and offer invitations or even exclusive forum accounts. I got a jpopsuki invitation account for a friend there. check torrent invites forum if you want an invitation to another forum! now youtube videos. to download youtube videos I use 4k video downloader. but before downloading the videos you can also try to change the format of the video to see if the quality changes too. sometimes videos in mkv format have better quality, so it's always good to check if the quality changes.

I always do that on bangtantv like bangtanbomb or the episodes videos which most of the time are always only uploaded on youtube. BUT we have some videos that are not only uploaded on yt but also on instagram and tiktok~~~~ and this is where we win heheheh~~ if a video is uploaded on these three platforms ALWAYS download it from tiktok. 99% of the time, videos on tiktok have a thousand times better quality than those on youtube and instagram. or you can also download the video on these three platforms so you can compare and see which quality is better, but I'm sure that tiktok's quality will always be the best. here's an amazing example, jin video that I giffed earlier.

first i only saw people sharing the instagram link but i went and searched if the instagram account also had a tiktok account and BAM they did 🥹 I downloaded the video from instagram and the quality was poor:

but when i download the tiktok video the quality was:

damn... this is sexy🫦

when instagram doesn't always make videos available in 1080p, most videos on tiktok are 1080p. just go and search "where to download instagram videos online" "where to download tiktok videos online" and open a website that does that and that's it.

another example, my tae and jeongguk recent gifset that you talk about here in this ask.

the quality of the video uploaded on youtube and instagram is very similar.

yt:

instagram:

but look how the quality is a thousand times better on tiktok:

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 so beautiful that I almost got emotional LAKSKASKASKA

my advice is to always look for other platforms they may have uploaded the files to! like for example jeongguk vogue photoshoot. many people thought that the videos were only uploaded on twitter and instagram but no, they were also uploaded on facebook! always look for accounts on facebook as well. but facebook is weird… from what I understand they won't upload all the quality at the same time so sometimes it takes a while for a video to be in 1080p there. another thing, sometimes they will also change the quality lol. for example, when I downloaded jeongguk photoshoot there the highest quality available was 2k but now it only has 1080p.

now:

😭😭😭😭😭😭

now torrent files~ I don't recommend the websites I download my files from because I'm not sure they are trustworthy but as I have a good program to protect my laptop so I feel safer lakskas. for torrent files I use eztvx, kpkuang, 1lou. "are you sure" files I had to search for jung kook or jimin to find the files on some of these websites.

and now free websites where we can download high quality bangtan files are namuspromised, sharemania, soowoozoooo and ouranxingg.

there are others but I feel like these are the ones who always share high quality files.

this was me trying to explain to you guys how to always find high quality files with my bad english LAKSKSKASK I just love helping people find good quality files ♡

EDIT: I forgot to talk about vimeo but @galatariel reminded me of them too ♡ many photoshoot are uploaded there with high quality so also check vimeo when a photoshoot comes out! I downloaded most of my recent tae photoshoot there~

do you spend many of your waking hours on social media? do you feel like it's a problem? in this world of late stage capitalism, your time and attention is actively being harvested by big corporations. it's.. not good. it also just makes you feel bad!

here are some tips that have really helped me reduce the amount of time i give to these apps & get in control of my social media addiction:

1. IDENTIFY PROBLEM APPS

you probably know which apps you spend the most time on. however, looking at real data about usage is very helpful because time spent on social media is very deceiving. keep in mind which apps you spend the most time looking at and interacting with for the rest of this list.

2. TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS

this is probably the easiest thing to do and it makes an immense difference. it's up to your discretion which notifications you want to keep on (turning on messaging notifications but turning off algorithm and interaction notifs for example) but, the most effective way to stay off problem apps is to turn off ALL notifications.

3. TURN OFF NOTIFICATION SOUNDS

i always keep my phone on silent. i understand that not all people have that privilege but, if you're able to i would highly highly recommend. it has helped me a lot with anxieties regarding waiting for notifications. i used to experienced the phantom vibrate and check my phone obsessively when nothing would happen. you can also just turn off notification sounds and vibrations for any non necessity apps if you don't want to jump to turning off all notifications.

4. CHANGE THE PLACEMENT OF PROBLEM APPS

i actually learned this trick from facebook when they changed the UI slightly so you had to be more intentional in interacting with the app. changing the layout of the apps on your phone really helps you catch yourself when you are automatically opening up apps that cost you time and attention. instead of keeping social media apps on the homescreen, keep it on a different screen, in a folder, & if possible out of the preview window for the folder.

if you want to expand on this more, you could keep a log in a notes app of every time you reached for an app that has since moved. you can even put the notes app in its place!

5. UTILIZE APP TIMERS

my experience is based on samsung app timers so i'm not sure how it differs in different makes. i really dont like my phone telling me i can't do something so i've set my tumblr timer to the highest end of my usage data (2hrs 10 minutes). another mindfulness thing that i like about using the timers is that when i'm switching between apps, my phone tells me how much time left i have (it's currently 1 hour 21 minutes, most of the 49 minutes i've spent writing this lol). i'm just a slut for data so i really like this aspect of the samsung app timer function and it's very useful besides this point.

6. DELETE APPS

okay, i know this seems drastic. but it doesn't NEED to be depending on your habitual problem apps. apps like youtube, instagram, facebook, and tumblr (to a lesser extent ime) (and probably others these are just the ones i have experience with) can pretty easily be transferred to being used exclusively on a web browser. if you use firefox it will even get rid of ads which is very important for overall sanity and for safe web browsing. one of the biggest plusses to moving from an app to a web browser is that it won't automatically play your platform's version of tiktoks. it also makes it more difficult to upload items which is a plus because it will hinder you from doing so and cut back on the loop of expecting validation from recently posted content.

opening instagram without immediately being enthralled by their endless stream of reels has made it SO much easier to control my time on the site. there are tons of plusses to transferring from app browsing to web browsing.

so on the more drastic side, if you are addicted to tiktok you maybe should just delete it. tiktok is intentionally designed so you can't use it in a web browser and can only use it in the app. i will talk more about tiktok and how evil it is later in this post.

7. MOVE DMS TO MESSAGING APPS

if a hesitation to turning off notifactions or deleting apps is from not wanting to miss conversations from online friends, i understand your pain. but, if you are serious about cutting down screen time on apps that are absolutely draining your attention, talk to your friends about switching to a different messaging app. i would suggest signal personally.

your friends may be experiencing similar problems with phone addiction and even if they aren't, if they care about you, they will make this accommodation to help you in this process. i get that this is very scary but i believe in you.

8. USE TIME ON YOUR PHONE FOR OTHER THINGS

depending on your goals for how you spend your time, there are plenty of alternatives to social media / other problem apps you may have. personally i have downloaded a bunch of books on my reading list and will divert attention from dopamine pumping social media to reading. you can find tons of free pdfs of books online and if you are used to reading on your phone, it won't be a difficult transition to read longer form narratives from short text posts.

there are free art apps, language learning apps, self care / journaling apps, meditation apps, etc. that you can use when on your phone. this may seem counterintuitive, getting more apps to battle certain app addictions. but, simply weakening the habit that brings you to the apps that you spend so much time on should help. but watch out for apps that claim they are to teach or better you but have social media built into them / other tricks that keep you glued to your screen. everyone is trying to mine your attention so be wary of all apps and the methods they use to keep you engaged.

9. DON’T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOUR PHONE BACK DOWN AFTER PICKING IT UP

idk if this is a weird one or not but, you know the feeling of going into a room to do something but you forget what so you putter around trying to remember? i feel like going on your phone when you have a phone addiction is often a state of that except the majority of the time you DON’T have a purpose to go on it. so even though it may feel silly, opening your phone only to close it right after is PERFECTLY FINE.

IN CONCLUSION, phone usage is pretty inevitable in this day and age. i've considered getting rid of my phone entirely but, between the expectation to be constantly reachable from employers to QR code menus at restaurants, it just doesn't seem reasonable to get rid of my phone completely. and i will readily admit its convenience and functionality is life changing and wonderful.

however in late stage capitalism, technology doesn't only work for you but it harvests you -- your data, your habits, your time, your attention, your wants, your needs, your thoughts. even leftist spaces with good intentions can trap you (doom scrolling). when i was becoming radicalized during the beginning of the pandemic i spent sooo much time online reading about all these horrible truths of imperialism, colonization, and capitalism, and i felt it was my duty to share these horrors with other people to radicalize them. but it was so unhealthy, especially when shit hit the fan (which it was like constantly doing) because everyone was posting about the horrors and it felt utterly inescapable.

after following some of these steps (which i did in stages over the course of a few years), my relationship with social media has improved greatly and my mental health is actually significantly better. all of this is based on personal experience and observation and this post is specifically for people who want to cut down on phone usage, it's not supposed to be a preachy post that's telling people they spend too much time on their phone.

it's also nowhere near complete. it doesn't tackle addictions to games on phones nor the notorious tiktok. i said i would talk about it later and here it is. i have a chalkboard in my kitchen and all it has written on it is "tiktok is the devil". i have never seen such a commonly used app that has such a degrading effect on all of its users. and it set a precedent to all other social media apps for autoplaying videos that demand user engagement. i was on tiktok for a little less than a year and the way that it would sap anywhere from 20 minutes to over 3 hours of my time when i told myself i'd only watch a few videos was insane. as an aspiring creator i felt that i needed to hop on it to get recognition but now, i don't see it as anything more than a tarpit to trap as many people as possible in its dopamine rich algorithm. but whatever, that's just my little rant. as a social experiment i think it's fascinating lol and i for the creators it's benefited im very happy for them.

anywayy, i hope this helps someone if it gets any attention at all lol. remember no one can make the decision of how you spend your time on or offline but you. not some stranger on the internet, not corporations, no one. you are in control of your time (well besides the whole having to work most of your waking hours to survive but that's what communism is for yayy).

Yvette Heiser -How to go viral with your photography? 

Social media is booming and reaching its highest peak these days. These indispensable tools provide various opportunities for marketing, promotions, showcasing talents, etc. With millions of images and videos uploaded daily across various platforms, standing out from this digital noise can be an extremely daunting task. But since it is not an impossible thing to do. With the right strategies and approach, photographers can increase their chances of going viral and achieving widespread recognition for their artistry.

Where to start?

Social media platforms offer photographers a global stage to exhibit their work and engage with a diverse audience. With platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube boasting billions of active users, entering into these networks can significantly amplify your reach and visibility.

1. Choose the Right Platform

Selecting the appropriate platform to showcase your photography is crucial. While Instagram is renowned for its visual-centric nature and massive user base, other platforms like Pinterest and TikTok cater to different demographics and content formats. Take a minute and look at Yvette Heiser - 4 Best Experts Tips in Photography, which willprovide expert advice to get started with photography. Understanding your target audience and the unique features of each platform will help you tailor your content effectively.

2. Invest in Video Content

While photography remains the primary medium for visual storytelling, incorporating video content into your social media strategy can enhance engagement and virality. Platforms like Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube offer opportunities to create short, captivating videos that showcase your creative process, behind-the-scenes footage, or tutorials. By leveraging the dynamic nature of video, photographers can capture the attention of viewers and increase their chances of going viral.

3. Cultivate Authenticity

Share personal stories, insights into your creative journey, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of your photography process. By showcasing the person behind the lens, you humanize your brand and invite viewers to connect on a deeper level. Authenticity resonates with audiences and increases the likelihood of your content being shared virally. Watch Yvette Heiser Texas – New dynamics of capturing photographs to get an idea of utilizing new angles and perspectives in photography.

4. Utilize the Power of Hashtags

Hashtags are crucial in enhancing the discoverability and reach of your photography content on social media platforms. Research and utilize relevant hashtags that align with your niche, style, and target audience. Experiment with trending hashtags, location-based tags, and branded hashtags to expand your reach and attract a broader audience. Effective hashtag usage can significantly boost the visibility and virality of your posts.

5. Foster Engagement and Consistency

Post high-quality content that aligns with your brand and resonates with your audience regularly. Respond to comments, engage with other users' content, and participate in relevant communities and discussions. By fostering meaningful connections and engaging with your audience, you create a supportive community that organically shares and promotes your content.

Bottom line 

While the path to viral success may be challenging, the rewards of widespread recognition and acclaim for your artistry make the journey worthwhile. With dedication, innovation, and a dash of creativity, photographers can elevate their work to viral status and make a lasting impact in the digital era.

Complete guide to Flickr and why you should use it

bc I got some things wrong but it’s still a very good website that we should all use instead of Instagram

1: Flickr isn’t tied to Meta or any of that Facebook bullshit, from my knowledge it doesn’t share your contacts so no one will get a notification that you joined, it’s safer that way and more private than Instagram.

2: It’s built for photos. Instagram kills quality of photos, if you’re an artist, especially a digital one, uploading to Flickr would be way better for people to actually see detail and the color.

Going on with this because it’s built for photos, while it can host video, it doesn’t have TikTok/Reels and lives which is soooo nice. Like I don’t hate that stuff, but I like that Flickr isn’t trying to catch on the latest trends.

3: There isn’t likes. Flickr is mainly for sharing and LOOKING at photos. The most interaction you can get one on one is commenting, following, and favoriting. Favoriting is basically the public saves, no one really faves things on there unless it’s a recipe or for a reference or something.

4: Groups. Flickr does have an option for communities to make groups in where you can share similar interests MOST OF THESE ARE DEAD BUT WE CAN BRING THEM BACK!!! (IM BEGGING)

5: The bios are unlimited ( I think ), I copy and pasted the entire Bee Movie script three times along with my own bio that was already in there. I’m always pissed when I have to trim my bio, so bitches who like to put everything in their bio this website is for YOU

6: It’s in chronological order. Everything. You can even look up when certain posts where made by year, month, even fucking day. The archives of Flickr are so fucking fun.

7: Its not a contest. The main reason as to why I fucking hate Instagram (other than they took away chronological order and being able to see the recents under a tag) is that it focuses too much on “#aesthetic” even on the casual Instagram side people are still posing and trying to make an aesthetic of it. Flickr is just for photos you like, which yes can be aesthetic, but it’s mainly for daily life. You will see older people just posting what they are working on, maybe a cat they saw at the store, nothing planned. Just a quick unprompted click.

8: Organization, Flickr let’s you have Albums which is where you can organize all your photos in much like Pinterest. Most do it by year but others do it by topic too.

9: You can upload photos in bulk. You don’t have to upload them one by one, or at a limit of ten, you can upload a FUCK ton of photos at once.

10: if you don’t like ads and want more storage space, the pro version is extremely cheap compared to Netflix. Netflix without ads is fucking $15.49 and Flickr is $8.25 a month. There are also two other payment plans if that’s still too much for you.

11: It allowed adult content. In like. Every form. Enough said

CONS

1: You can’t DM (this is not a con to me and I hate when people complain about this just fucking use a email it is so fun to email people please for the love of god)

2: You can only upload 1,000 images before you run out of space. (You can always delete images later, I personally like to delete images at new years for a fresh start and archive them somewhere else)

3: it’s dead. No one really uses it.

4: to upload your bio you have to use a desktop version of the app.

THANK YOU FOR READING PLEASE SWITCH TO FLICKR AND SHARE THIS SO WE CAN START TO REVIVE OLD PLATFORMS TO SAVE THEM TO REBEL AGAINST META AND THIS NEW AGE OF CREATING SOCIAL MEDIA APPS AND SHIT

[dragon-snoots-a-boopin]

i'm gonna share an opinion that a lot of people are going to dislike but, I don't care as it's my blog and I can say what I want. I think that things like Tiktok, YouTube shorts, Facebook Reels etc are ruining movies.

I say this with the example of how over the past month that I can confidantly say that I've probably seen most, if not all, of Deadpool & Wolverine just through Facebook Reels. This is a real problem to me, especially the ones that are clearly people recording sections of the movie when they went and saw it in theaters like yes, that is a form of movie piracy.

I'd also honestly hate to be in a movie theater experience where that happens, just people recording the movie on their phones for content that isn't really theirs. That's another thing that bothers me about creators that make that kind of content and I have no problem saying that I don't think that they deserve to have as many like followers, or whatever they use, because it's not like they're making original content when they're just uploading clips of movies.

Now, of course, people are going to say to just scroll past them and yes, I do but, each one does auto play so it's not like scrolling past really does anything when I'm going to see part of it anyway.

Smaller mini rant using my Deadpool and Wolverine example from earlier is that the Deadpool fandom is toxic af. I can't tell you how many time in the comments of clips of Deadpool & Wolverine do I see a person share their opinion of they think the movie isn't that funny or they don't care for the 4th wall breaking and so on and the rest of the fandom just loses their mind when they see other people not like the same thing they do and I think that's really stupid behavior that isn't really going to bring more people into the fandom.

Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikToks and Instagram?

What is Blog?

Today's generation does not know what blogging is. Blogging is a method to express something that we are interested in or provide an understanding of what we want to convey to a large audience. In the era of globalization as we see it, blogging nowadays has almost disappeared among the teenagers. Blogging is now used to advance and promote business out there, including giving a review about a business services that is now growing rapidly or slowly.

(Artem Minaev, 2023)

One of the reasons why blogging is now decreasing among teenagers is because there are 2 applications that are now increasing with the popularity of users reaching hundreds of millions, namely Instagram and Tiktok. Instagram is an application where users can share videos and photos with friends and can comment on each uploaded photo and video reels. The function of Instagram is not very different compared to Facebook and Twitter. Tiktok is also a new application that has the same purpose as the Instagram application. The only difference is the way each application displays the media uploaded by the user. (Verge G. Kopytoff, 2011)

How do we want to maintain blogging in this day and age where it is getting swallowed up by the times? Let's discuss how to keep the blogging community among younger age more competitive with Instagram and Tiktok users.

Find a community with same interests

Every blogger has his own interests in the field of writing. In this way, able to find a community that has the same interests with each other. In addition, in a community that is able to provide a variety of opinions about the ideology that each blogger wants to convey. A very large community of bloggers can provide benefits to blog readers who want to know something they are looking for. Each writer has his own creativity to attract the interest of the readers by arranging pictures and visuals on the blog page to make it more engaging and visually appealing. Producing a well researched, informative and engaging blog posts will offer a unique value to your audiences.

Promote Blog on social media

Social media is used by most teenagers. You already knew that. Almost everyone does since there have been enough trend stories published about it. You must put forth the effort to promote your material if you want people to find it. You must adapt your promotion strategy to meet people where they are if you want them to find what you're attempting to reach. Social media is what most universities mean by that. Do not simply distribute the content and leave it at that. Pay attention to how people react. You may receive some comments that are not made on your blog but rather on one of your social media channels. The same laws are in effect. React and engage. (kristen Hicks, 2016)

Build a content about current trending among teenagers

If you want to make sure that your blog remains current, it is imperative that you keep up with industry trends. It's critical to keep up with breaking news, new technological developments, and shifting consumer trends. The following are a few methods for following market trends such as follow influencers and industry experts on social media. On sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, follow influencers and industry experts. This will enable you to interact with people in your field and remain up to date on the most recent news and trends.

Overall, there are endless benefits to having students blog in the classroom. Blogging is a great way to encourage students to express their ideas, be creative, develop confidence in writing, to communicate and collaborate with peers and the teacher. Blogging helps students to work on their online presence and become reflective in their learning as well (Fernando, 2023). Sometimes it might be difficult to get kids to start blogging because they may perceive it as being intimidating or quite different from writing on paper. Students, however, tend to feel more at ease and look forward to the experience once you explain the rationale for utilizing blogs, how students will be evaluated, and convince them that it is simply a different way of presenting material that can be done anywhere using their device.

Do you know anyone whose birthday is tomorrow? Maybe if I checked the birthdays tab on Facebook...but right off the bat, no, I wouldn’t know anyone having a birthday tomorrow.

What was the last thing you found that you thought you lost forever? Reena’s necklace gift that I talked about around three surveys ago. I’m so happy it’s back in my sight :(( 

Have you ever been to Times Square to watch the ball drop for the New Year? I’ve never been to the US.

If you have a Twitter, do you use something else besides the computer to update your tweets? Oh I rarely use my laptop to tweet now. It’s always through my phone.

The last time you said ‘I love you’ to someone, who said it first, them or you? They did.

Do you like potato salad? Can’t say I do; I don’t think I’ve ever tried one.

Who was the last person that apologized to you? Angela, although I did apologize right back because I felt like I was more at fault about the thing we were both saying sorry for.

Have you ever driven and ended up running out of gas? Noooooooo I avoid that happening at all costs. I wouldn’t know what to do if I got stranded somewhere, regardless if the area is familiar or not.

Mastering the Art of Promotion: Ways to Promote Your Music as an Indie Artist

For independent artists, promoting music is a constant challenge. Without the support of major labels, indie artists must adopt creative strategies to make their music stand out. However, this lack of traditional backing can be a strength—it allows artists to control their narrative and connect with fans on a personal level. The digital age has leveled the playing field, offering countless platforms and tools to reach global audiences. This article dives deep into actionable ways to amplify your music as an indie artist and create a lasting impact.

1. Leveraging Social Media Platforms Social media remains one of the most effective tools for music promotion. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook allow you to showcase your personality, share snippets of your songs, and interact directly with fans. For instance, short, catchy clips on TikTok can make your song go viral, while Instagram Stories and Reels provide behind-the-scenes glimpses of your creative process. Pair these efforts with consistent branding to ensure your audience recognizes your style instantly.

2. Building an Engaging Podcast Presence Podcasts are not just for interviews—they’re a fantastic way for indie artists to share their journey, inspirations, and insights about the music industry. By collaborating with established podcast hosts or creating your own, you can reach a new audience while monetizing the process. Curious about how you can make money from podcasts? Learn all the secrets of how to earn money from podcast.

3. Creating Visual Content for YouTube YouTube is a goldmine for indie artists aiming to promote their music. From official music videos to lyric videos and live performance uploads, this platform enables artists to showcase their talent in a visually engaging way. You don’t need to create high-budget productions to make an impact—a raw, authentic performance can resonate deeply with your audience. If you’re wondering how to upload your audio tracks successfully, explore this detailed guide on how to upload mp3 to YouTube.

4. Understanding the Emotional Power of Music Music is a universal language, resonating with listeners across cultures and demographics. To promote your music effectively, it’s crucial to understand how it connects emotionally with your audience. For example, uplifting tunes may inspire listeners during workouts, while soothing melodies might become their go-to tracks for relaxation. Understanding the impact of music on human life can guide the way you present your songs and connect with fans.

5. Collaborations and Networking Collaborations open doors to new audiences. Partnering with fellow indie artists, influencers, or even small brands can exponentially increase your visibility. Additionally, building genuine connections with industry professionals can lead to opportunities like gigs, playlist features, and media coverage. Being active in your local music community and attending networking events can set the stage for future collaborations.

6. Harnessing the Power of AI in Music Promotion AI has entered the music scene with tools that assist indie artists in composing, producing, and even promoting their music. AI-powered analytics can identify your target audience and suggest the best platforms to focus on. Moreover, AI can help generate marketing strategies that align with your brand.

7. Utilizing Music Streaming Platforms Getting your music on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud is non-negotiable. These platforms help you reach a global audience while offering analytics to track your performance. Spotify playlists, in particular, are a powerful way to boost streams and gain recognition. Submitting your songs to playlist curators or creating your own themed playlists can significantly increase your reach.

8. Email Marketing for Personal Connection Email marketing is an underrated yet powerful tool for indie artists. By collecting email addresses through your website or live performances, you can build a direct line of communication with your fans. Use email newsletters to share upcoming releases, exclusive content, or personal messages. This personal touch strengthens the bond between you and your audience.

9. Live Performances and Virtual Concerts Performing live—whether in intimate local venues or at virtual events—helps you connect with fans on a deeper level. Virtual concerts, in particular, have gained popularity since the pandemic and offer a way to perform for audiences worldwide. Ensure you record and share snippets of these performances on your social media platforms to keep the buzz alive.

10. Embracing Paid Advertising While organic reach is important, investing in paid advertising can give your music the extra push it needs. Platforms like Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, and Google Ads allow you to target specific demographics, ensuring your music reaches the right audience. Pairing paid ads with your organic efforts creates a balanced promotion strategy.

Conclusion

Promoting music as an indie artist requires persistence, creativity, and adaptability. By leveraging tools like social media, podcasts, and streaming platforms, you can build a loyal fanbase while exploring innovative methods like AI-driven analytics. Remember, every interaction counts, and staying authentic to your music and story will always resonate with your audience.

How to Upload a Song on Instagram: A Complete Guide for Artists

Instagram has become a powerhouse for sharing creative content, especially for artists and musicians. With its extensive global reach and various features, this platform offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with fans and showcase talent. But many creators still wonder how to best upload their music and ensure it gets the attention it deserves. This guide will walk you through the process of uploading a song on Instagram while exploring other essential tools and platforms that can elevate your music career.

Why Instagram Matters for Artists Instagram’s visual-first approach provides a unique way to merge visuals with audio, making it an ideal space for musicians to market their work. The app’s features like Reels, Stories, and IGTV allow artists to creatively present their music to a broad audience. If you’re looking to make your mark, learning how to upload a song on Instagram is the first step. Properly using Instagram’s tools can not only enhance your visibility but also create meaningful engagement with your audience.

Creating the Perfect Content to Showcase Your Song Before you upload, consider how you want to present your music. A strong visual component can enhance your song’s appeal and encourage viewers to listen. Combining compelling visuals with excellent audio quality ensures your content stands out. Using high-quality digital audio software to produce and mix your track will make it sound professional, giving your audience an optimal listening experience.

Short Reels or Stories can act as teasers, offering glimpses of your song to intrigue listeners. Pair your music with engaging visuals, like behind-the-scenes clips or vibrant animations, to create a memorable impact.

How to Upload a Song to Instagram Uploading a song on Instagram is straightforward but requires a few technical steps to ensure the best results:

Prepare Your Content: Ensure your song is in the right format and length for the platform. Videos should be under 90 seconds for Reels and less than 15 minutes for IGTV.

Optimize Audio Quality: Use professional tools to mix and master your track. Platforms like Spotify and Audiomac emphasize high-quality music, and you should too. Understanding Audiomac Benefits for Artists can give you ideas on preparing your music for online platforms.

Create a Visual Component: Pair your audio with a captivating video. This could be an animated lyric video, live performance footage, or even a visually appealing still image.

Upload Your File: Open Instagram, navigate to the Reels, Stories, or IGTV section, and select your file. Add captions, hashtags, and tags to optimize reach.

Integrating Platforms for a Seamless Strategy While Instagram is powerful, combining it with other tools enhances your visibility. For instance, understanding how much does it cost to post on Spotify can help you distribute your music across a broader audience. Platforms like Spotify not only allow you to share your music but also link it back to your Instagram for added exposure.

Similarly, having a verified social media presence adds credibility. Learning how to get a verified Facebook helps you build trust with fans, collaborators, and industry professionals. By aligning your Instagram strategy with verified social profiles, you create a cohesive brand that resonates across platforms.

Engaging with Your Audience Once your music is live, the real work begins: engagement. Replying to comments, hosting live sessions, or encouraging followers to share your song can drive organic growth. Social media algorithms favor active engagement, so building a community around your music should be a priority.

Conclusion Uploading a song on Instagram is more than just a technical task; it’s an opportunity to connect with your audience and showcase your talent. By leveraging the right tools and strategies, you can make a significant impact in the music world. Whether it’s using digital audio software to perfect your sound, linking your music to platforms like Spotify, or building credibility through verified social profiles, every step contributes to your journey as an artist.
