3 of the Best Twitter Practices for Musicians

Utilize the Ability To Post a Tweet

Fans love it when their favorite artists consistently post statuses that they can engage with! Twitter makes fan engagement more personal so put it to use! Fans also love it when musicians converse with other musicians! Utilize features like, retweeting, threading or mentioning to do so! 

Not sure on what to actually post? Here’s some ideas! 

  • Host a q&a session with a hashtag of choice to answer the exact questions that fans have for you! Create a video of you answering these questions and encourage your followers to share it! 

  • Interact with your fans by creating a challenge that they can be part of if they stay active on checking your page! It’s fun and rewarding for you and them! 

  • Bring attention to a certain milestone that has happened recently in your career! Fans love to feel appreciated! 

  • Post lyrics to a song you’re currently working on or just dropped! Real fans will know whatsup! 

  • Talk about a tour you’re currently on or an event you performed at! Posts pictures or videos of it too!

  • Promote a song or album dropping soon! And definitely promote any upcoming collabs with other artists!

  • Be authentic and post something that’s just on your mind! Fans love a relatable artist! 

Utilize Twitter Spaces

Twitter spaces is a feature that allows users to create live voice-only chat rooms to discuss certain topics. This feature is perfect for artists that want to engage more directly with fans! On twitter spaces, there can be up to 3 hosts so if you decide to utilize those spots, choose people that you know can keep a conversation going based on the topic you choose to discuss. Try to plan out your discussion as it will make the flow of the “event” much easier. You are able to schedule these spaces up to two weeks in advance so don’t forget to promote it and even encourage followers to promote it as well so they don’t miss out! 

Once you get 1,000+ followers, you’re able to utilize the ticketed spaces! Ticketed spaces are a great way to host meet + greets, certain conversations and any type of event that you would want to monetize on twitter spaces!

Utilize Twitter for Professionals

Twitter for professionals was created for users that have businesses, or maybe are creators, publishers or developers to showcase and highlight their content, products, and services directly through Twitter for free. This foundation provides features like Twitter Ads, Quick Promote, Advanced Profile Features, and even a Shop Spotlight! These features are good for musicians that are ready to introduce the business side of things to their fans through their Twitter!
