The 9-Steps radio promotion technique so powerful it feels illegal to know
Step number one: Regularly create music charts that feature a mix of both famous and emerging artists. This is where the magic happens, especially for emerging talents who are eager to showcase their art to a broader audience. They’ll be very happy to be on your radio station chart.
Tip number two: Produce an eye-catching artwork for each chart, because visuals matter. A compelling design will not only grab attention on your website but also become a sharable asset across social media platforms. This isn’t just a chart; it’s a branded masterpiece.
Step number three: Include artists that you can contact from your socials. Make sure your charts include artists that you can directly contact from your social media, email, or Facebook. These are the rising stars, the emerging voices. Reach out to them directly, because let’s be honest, who wouldn’t be excited to know they’re part of a chart? You can contact them directly and let them know they’ve been featured.
Step number four: Share the link and artwork with those artists and ask them to share it. The power of direct engagement is extremely important. Share the link and artwork of your chart with the featured artists, and politely ask them to share it on their social media. It’s not just about reaching their audience; it’s about creating a ripple effect of excitement. They’ll share, you’ll share, and the audience will join the celebration.
Step number five: Contact the artists directly for maximum impact. Let’s emphasize this: Contact the artist directly; don’t wait for them to stumble upon your chart. Send them a friendly message, share the link, and invite them to be part of the celebration. It’s not just about getting noticed; it’s about creating a connection that goes beyond the chart.
Step number six: Publish a screenshot of the chart on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or wherever you want, making sure the list of songs is visible. Publish a screenshot of the chart and tag all of the featured artists. Take a screenshot of the chart, make sure each song is visible, put it on your Facebook, Instagram, wherever you want, and tag all of the featured artists. Watch the magic happen! It’s not only something that amplifies your chart visibility but also creates a sense of community among all of the followers of each single artist.
And we are at step number seven, which is engaging with users through voting. Get ready for some interactive fun! Engage with your audience by allowing them to vote on the chart. This not only makes them feel like they’re part of the process but also generates valuable data on preferences. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. With Pro Radio, for instance, you can easily add voting functionality to every song and chart and instantly tap into the curiosity of your visitors.
Step number eight: Announce past week’s winners and celebrate success! Announce the winners for the past week, and with a professional radio touch, close the chart. This creates anticipation, rewards excellence, and keeps the momentum going for the station. Schedule a chart to close voting after a week and celebrate winners with a special post on your website. Get the most out of each week with a wave of backlinks and visits.
Step number nine: Generate backlinks and returning visitors. Last but certainly not least, the sweet fruit of your effort: As artists share your charts, they’re not just gaining visibility but also generating backlinks for your website. These backlinks, coupled with the engaging content, become a gateway for returning visitors eager for more music discoveries, creating a circle of success.
And there you have it: a step-by-step strategy to turn your music charts into a catalyst for community engagement and growth. Ready to make some waves? Head to Pro.Radio and get those charts rocking!
