Talking about is a pre-save campaign so We have the three-step strategy to get a Fan if you don't understand this then You'll miss it there's three steps that Are essential but in the first step There are three categories inside this First step the first step is that you're Going to be getting email I actually was Building my email list and I thought to Myself uh this isn't going to do much a Couple months went by I wasn't making Very much money and then one day I was Driving home from Southern California And I was going to a restaurant I think It was Taco Bell it wasn't a restaurant Wasn't anything fancy because I didn't Have much money in my wallet and I just Need to get some food And I was kind of struggling I was like Hopefully I can even like pay for gas to Get home I don't even know if I had a Credit card at this time I think it was 18. and when I got to talk about I'm Like okay hopefully I have some money in My bank account I look and I was Expecting 30 bucks out of nowhere I had About 800 bucks in my bank account And this changed everything for me I was Like I can actually get some Taco Bell And it was a moment where I was like Whoa what I'm doing online is actually Working and why because I was selling a Product online I was I was sending it to My email list and I didn't think much of
It I hadn't checked my bank account but What was happening was people were going And buying my merch simply because they Were buying my product simply because I Sent them emails now like I said I mean that was a big moment for me I Realized this actually works and I got Some talk about the best Taco Bell I've Ever had in my life and I got to drive Home and actually pay for gas right so When I was first starting online and Trying to grow a business the first Thing that everybody told me to do was Build an email list and at first you Know I thought this is probably not that Big of a deal uh but I'll just do what They say and I had some mentors that Said just try and build an email list And whatever it is that you're offering Whether it's music whether it's products Whether it's merchandise uh any type of Product you'll have some people that you Can send some some Uh traffic you can send some some people To go buy your product Now here's the thing like I said there's Three parts of this email thing right There's three types of traffic three Types of people that listen to your Music they're either going to be paid Meaning you paid for some promotion to Get them to see your music maybe you Paid on Facebook maybe you paid on Instagram maybe you paid on Spotify to
Get them to listen to your music That's the first one so these are the People that you paid advertisements for You sent out you know a radio ad or Whatever and they walked into your store Essentially Number two right is organic these are The people that you don't really control But you have your store you know let's Use the store as an example in the town And people walk by your store and they Just happen to walk in your store it's Not a lot of control but you can get Some people to come in the door it's Like when you post some content online Maybe you get some views maybe you don't It's all organic and if they follow you Again maybe it shows them that's content Your songs maybe it doesn't But here's traffic that you own right This is the third type of traffic that You know for certain you don't have to Pay any money to get you know they're Going to walk in the store because you Can contact them directly and that is Your email list okay so your email list Is so essential it's that uh use the Other types of traffic let the organic Grow pay for media for getting people to Listen to your music but when it comes To the traffic that you own and getting Your email list built up that's going to Be your ride or die fans that's going to Be the people that are ready to check
Out your product and they're hearing Directly from you and the open rate what They're actually going to see based on What you put out into the into the email Inbox is going to be way more uh Prevalent they're gonna see it it's not Going to be maybe gets shown through the Algorithm on Instagram or maybe it Doesn't it's gonna get shown right so That's a huge part of this three-step Process so when you run a pre-save Campaign three things are going to Happen in this three-step process number One they're going to save the song to The playlist That's part of a pre-save when they when They sign into Spotify they save the Song to a playlist that's what a Pre-save is they're pre-saving it to Their playlist and they're also that's Number one they're also following you So when they sign into Spotify and They're pre-saving it's also Automatically following you Now the software that we use I like to Use tone Den I like to use Um one RPM there's a few different ones In the email list that you build it's Just going to go into a Google Sheets Just going to go into a spreadsheet an Excel sheet that says here's the first Name and here's the email and you can Take that and put it into a software Where you can email them later all right
So number one was the play or yeah the Playlist gets saved number two they Follow you number three you get their Email the playlist right we went over Email you want to build that the Playlist right this means that you're Going to get more streams the streams That come from playlist means every Person that adds a song to the playlist Other people listen to that playlist Anytime you get on a playlist others are Going to be listening to that playlist Not just the person that has their own Playlist yeah sometimes it's only one Person listening to playlist whether It's a label that's pre-saving your Playlist song which does happen or it's A regular person The streams and the royalty growth that You're going to come from uh get from The playlist is a strategy that you have To think about when you do your Marketings because they're putting it in Their playlist now they're going to play In their favorite playlist it's going to Grow the song number three is going to Be that you're going to gain so many Followers I remember when I was running My first pre-save campaign for an artist That was trying to Simply build her Email list it was super easy to set up We had to you know connect to Spotify we Had to find the distribution uh channel That we're using I think we used it was
Either CD Baby or it might have been Tone Dan I believe what happened was Every person that pre-saved it got on The email list got on the playlist or uh Added the song to their playlist and Became a follower and the follower count Started to grow drastically again this Is gonna build that audience all those Followers are gonna see your song When You release a new piece of content when You release new music on Spotify it's Already been saved in their playlist and They already follow you so it's going to Show them that new song even if it's not This release a different one that they Don't pre-save they're always going to See your new music because they're Following you it also means that if you Have more followers let's be honest That's social proof you're going to see More collaborations with artists that Will work with you because they'll see That this person has you you're going to Have more followers There's a few times where uh as soon as I passed a thousand subscribers on YouTube I got way more inquiries about people That wanted to uh wanted me to show Their brand now we're very very uh Careful about what brands we work with And we don't show you guys every single Brand because I want to make sure that We're only giving you the best one of
