Q: i'm really upset because i feel like there's no point to me putting all these emotions on the internet through music to get zero views. i know that's very irrational and probably raises many questions like "am i sure i want to do this" and "am i doing this for other people rather than for myself". these questions have obvious answers to my conscious mind (yes i want to do this and no i'm not doing this for other people), but i wonder if another answer is lurking subconsciously. i'm trying to decide if i should take a break and find my intentions or maybe even find another outlet for my feelings. what do you think?
A: first, just sit yourself down (or stand up) and ask yourself if you truly want the views. If the answer is yes, (it certainly was for me), there is a 2-part strategy i can recommend. first, keep doing the content, regularly and ruthlessly, to the absolute greatest of your ability. then, (or at the same time), open up some social media accounts in your artist name and begin GENTLY but ruthlessly interacting with many many many people, in the most honest and genuine way you can. i should clarify that this strategy is tailored toward the person who's answer to the first question was a resounding 'yes', mostly because it takes a long long time to do it effectively. but it does work
