People need this music. But, how are they going to find it? My Instagram account is growing slowly but it only grows when I step out of my comfort zone, actively comment honestly on other people's posts and when I post relevant material with relevant hashtags often. It is a big time consumer and at this point I wonder if it really is worth it.
I need a publicist, a photographer, a video creator,....but I am doing all this on my own! Oh the joys of being an indie! Hopefully, after releasing the first album I will get some help...but I'm not holding my breath.
Adobe takes 500 SEK a month to use their photo editing and movie software ( I get 13 USD in donations every month. That is all the income I have. So I have to do this on my own.)
INSTAGRAM
Instagram videos, live streams, happenings, etc. are what I need to produce. BUT considering the fact that I have only mixed three or four more songs the past six months I had better put in 8 hour days mixing if I am ever going to get done before Sept 7th 2019 (my latest goal).
Below is an article about Instagram videos that I hope to read later.
Now, back to mixing.....
