I agree that it makes a huge difference to personalise the posts. If you are able to offer some insight into who you are as an artist then it makes others more likely to engage with you.
Unfortunately a lot of musicians find this really hard. I am not saying this as an excuse for laziness. If one is adept at writing then it's hard to imagine that others cannot do so but it is a fact that many musicians are very introverted and effectively hide behind the music and really do struggle to expose themselves to the word in any other way.
Maybe that means that they will not be as effective as they could be on the platform but I think it's important that we don't exclude people for that reason.
I agree. It's not easy to lower those walls and step out into the spotlight. That's why so many hit the bottle and other things when it becomes impossible to step into the shadows when needed. I totally get it.
Yes it is a real shame isn't it.
Yeah. I do suggest people at least try though. Posting something the second time, but doing it the same way as the first time, will probably yield the same results, and if those results the first time weren't great, I wouldn't expect much of a difference the second time, and that artist or writer, whatever, isn't taking advantage of the opportunity a second chance gives them.
Yep I agree. I keep putting suggestions in our Discord so hopefully some will at least try.
