I’m thrilled to share with you my success in achieving over 3 million listens on some of Henry Adams’ album released on October 13 on all digital music platforms, which has opened up numerous opportunities and brought in amazing new studio clients.

In this exclusive guide, I will reveal my secrets and provide you with a step-by-step approach on how you can achieve similar results. However, it’s important to note that there is no magic pill for success – it requires hard work and creativity. Nevertheless, following my method will significantly expedite the process compared to the trial and error I had to go through!

So, let’s dive in and get started!

Here are the 12 ways to make your song go viral:

1. CREATE GREAT MUSIC CONTENT 

The first step to make your music go viral is to create something totally share-worthy! It’s gotta be either so freaking good that people can’t help but hit that share button (think Beyoncé level), or it needs to have a dope video component tied to it that really resonates with your audience.

Take Khaid “Jolie” for example, that song blew up and launched his music career to the stratosphere. Sure, the song was fire with its Energetic vibes, but it was more than just that.

Khaid went all out and made like a hundred different memes using his song as the background, and one of them caught the eye of a TikTok influencer. And boom, before he knew it, the whole world was buzzing about it!

So, to make your music go viral, you gotta get creative, man. Think about what’s hot in the media right now and find ways to ride that wave with your own creation.

Here are some tips to make your content share-worthy:

• Get your song recorded, mixed, and mastered to a professional level. Either hit up a dope studio or learn to do it yourself if you’ve got the skills. Make sure it sounds legit and people can’t get enough of it.
• Create a sick video component for your song. It could be a full-on music video or just you jamming out to your song in your car and getting strangers hyped in a parking lot. The point is to connect with your audience through video.
• Pay attention to what you and your friends are sharing on social media. Look for funny, shocking, or emotional stuff, and think about how you can add that vibe to your video component to make it share-worthy. Just be careful with controversial stuff, you don’t wanna mess up your brand image.

By following these steps and creating share-worthy content, you’ll increase your chances of going viral and reaching a massive audience. Just remember to think outside the box, ride the media wave, and connect with your audience through your music and video.

2. FIND YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE AND AIM TOWARD THEM

When you’re just starting out, nobody knows who you are. But one thing you do know is that your music is influenced by other musicians. The key is to study the super fans of artists who are similar to you and are at the level where you aspire to be. Take a deep dive into their profiles and write a detailed profile of their commonalities. Are they within a certain age range? Do they go to school or work? Are they single or married? And so on.

You can gather all this information from platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Remember, data is power. If you can understand the mindset of your potential future fans, you’ll be able to locate and connect with them through your content. By understanding their demographics and preferences, you can tailor your music and marketing strategies to resonate with them and build a dedicated fanbase. So, make sure to leverage the power of data to gain insights into your target audience and create content that truly connects with them.

3. TAKE YOUR FANS THROUGH A JOURNEY BY TELLING YOUR STORY, BE REAL, DO NOT FAKE IT.

Just be real, dude! Share your flaws, struggles, highs, and lows. People connect with real people, not fake stuff. When you show your human side, you build a genuine bond with your audience.

Honestly, I struggle with this too. It’s hard for me to get vulnerable on social media, and I think it’s affected my growth. But you know what? The times I’ve talked straight to my iPhone camera and bared it all on my Instagram stories, it got the most love.

Take Davido as an example. He is just himself, and he doesn’t care what anyone thinks. That’s why people either love him or hate him. It’s better to be polarizing and unapologetically you than being so passive that no one even remembers you.

Think about it, man. Who doesn’t love a good story in movies or TV shows? I can’t think of anyone. It’s ’cause we’re all suckers for a good journey! Share your climb, be real about your struggles, create suspense, and celebrate your victories. Take your future fans on an epic adventure they won’t wanna miss. Let ’em in on the action, and watch as you build a movement that catapults you to success!

4. CREATE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH INFLUENCERS

The Internet has provided us with unprecedented access to a vast network of individuals who can potentially propel us to the next level. The fact that you are currently reading this signifies our connection. It is remarkable to consider the possibilities, yet many individuals underutilize the Internet for their personal growth, instead spending countless hours on activities such as binge-watching Netflix or watching comedic prank videos.

In truth, songwriters, music label executives, musicians, and business owners alike are actively present on social media platforms. This presents an opportunity for you to reach out and connect with them. One practical step to initiate such connections is to create a LinkedIn account for your music brand, as demonstrated in my own profile.

Through LinkedIn and other social media channels, you can identify playlist curators and other industry professionals who can potentially accelerate your growth. The opportunities are vast and diverse.

When engaging in networking, whether online or in-person, it is essential to prioritize adding value to others before seeking personal gain. It is not appropriate to make demands of those who do not know you or expect favors without reciprocation. Instead, take the time to understand and learn more about the individuals you are connecting with, and consider how you can be of service to them without any expectations in return. Do you possess a skill that could be of benefit to them? Can you assist in solving a problem they may have?

By adopting a mindset of service and placing the needs of others before your own, you will unlock doors of opportunity and experience abundance in ways you may not have anticipated.

Consider shifting your mindset from a focus on personal gain to one of service, and observe how the pieces start falling into place. Everything is about adding value and serving others. You have the ability to make meaningful connections and achieve success.

5. DO NOT HURRY FOR RESULTS, BE PERSISTENT WITH EXCELLENCE AT EVERY STEP.

Focusing on results is similar to a person dreaming of winning a lottery, which does not happen every day. This will only make you lose focus and be discouraged when your numbers are low on engagement or streaming numbers.
So persistence with excellence at every bit of step will speak for you, and success will eventually follow you.

6. ASPIRE FOR FAME NOT MONEY

Get your attention more on being famous on various social media platforms, and garner a solid fan base and this following would bring you income.  The bigger you get with your fanbase, the more your income would increase.
