I need someone to be added on my team for multiple music vid campaigns (Paid Work)
Hi there,
I manage a rapper and he is releasing his first music video soon.
I need a veteran in this field to help with all future operations in
marketing the video, and I guess that would be to get a high-level
SEO, and attempting to get the video to go viral as much as possible from
the YouTube level alone.
Your task will strictly be focused on the YouTube/Google side of things,
I will handle SoundCloud/Twitter/Tumblr, since I can get a following,
or already have established a following on those mediums.
So you will have help. In addition,
I have a publicist/public relations firm/PR firm
who will handle all the music releases by getting
them to publications such as Complex, Fader,
Pitchfork, MTV, TheSource, XXL, etc, all the big
blogs and music publications you can find online.
PR is not enough, nowadays to really blow up, you
need a trickle down effect on all avenues or lanes.
Ive noticed that Music Videos that happen to get a
lot of views on YouTube, happen to cause a lot of
people to start talking about it, or pay attention to the
video. If the video has unique features, then people
tend to make memes of the video, such as GIFs or
Vines. When a music video is meme'd out on Vine,
it's guaranteed to spread all over the place and
"blow up." (See: Bobby Shmurda - "Hot N*gga"
and OG Maco - "U Guessed It" , both have an
immense Vine presence and their music videos
have a ton of views)
With that in mind, I've packed as much cultural
references as possible and stuff that is GIFable
or Vine-able in the strategy, and I will keep doing
that for all future music videos. My friend works for
a big fashion/music site, and he told me for my artist
to be successful, we need to release stuff every 2 weeks,
doesnt have to be a music video, but we need to follow
that type of rhythm, So i will handle that.
Another thing that will help,
and this is probably where your expertise will come into plays,
is we have guest features/verses/beats
from already established artists who already each have extreme followings.
Some of them are already famous (theyve done work with Nicki Minaj, Drake
has spoken about them in public, theyve worked with Kendrick Lamar, etc,
thus have been mentioned with some of the biggest stars in the music industry)
So these artist names, will probably be needed to get taken over through SEO.
For example, if my artist had a song (featuring Drake), I know this is highly unlikely but
youd have to try to get the keyword "Drake" as the #1 result.
Given the possibility that a feature verse from someone big as Drake or equivalent,
I'd need a veteran who knows what they're doing. i dont know all this stuff about YouTube
buying views and all that because I keep reading that people's videos get taken down,
so again, I need someone who knows what they're doing and someone who has incredible
credentials so that we can keep killing the videos every time. Every video has a keyword in it
that will need to be dominated, I planned it out that way ahead of time anyway. The first music video
will be the name of the beatmaker, he gets like 2 million plays on soundcloud every time he releases a song
and he is my friend that I know in real life, Im always at his shows backstage with him. He will post the music video
on his twitter as well. People search for his name often, so I'd like that when you google his name or search his name
on YouTube, that you find our music video. It'd be awesome if that music video had more views than any other music
video with his name on it because then I can tell him, hey look, the most views a music video has with your name on it
is the song we did together. That helps with situations where maybe he's trying to send one of his best beats to another
already established artist, and I convince him to give it to us instead.
this may be in the wrong section, but essentially, im looking for recommendations,
and other strategies that I may want to look at to intertwine everything together.
Please post the names of usernames or redirect me to a site that has a service for this,
Itd be ideal if I could find just one person or one company to deal with all this for me while
I take care of the rest, I have a tumblr following because i have a fashion following,
people like the rare articles of high fashion/streetwear that I wear, and im gonna be intertwining that
into the plan as well.
So yeah, please help me out. This is obviously paid work, and we will need you for the rest of our careers.
Also, if I end up managing more artists, then Im definitely gonna need someone who is going to be around
forever. i had the perfect person for this before, but due to YouTube changes and him getting fed up of YouTube
and making mad money outside of it, he stopped servicing, So i need someone that'll be in the game, cuz Im
gonna need u and I dont plan on slowing down.
