Howdy Folks I know you've heard this a million times but it's worth repeating as long as there are some out still not engaging their Fan Basses and Supporters correctly, With the multitude of social media tools at our disposal some are being used and most are being used incorrectly.
Doing your postings across your timelines on your social media's are a great tool but while posting get's fans attention responding to comments they post will do more for you repore with them and keep them engaged with your specific brand, and tho many of you do reply to posting and comments on your timelines not all do, HOW LONG REALLY DOSE IT TAKE YOU TO AT THE LEAST PUT A SMILEY FACE :-) OR THANK YOU. My biggest pet peeve is Live Streaming the ultimate in fan engagement, Those playing your Music or posting your Podcast is the ultimate way to engage you audience you neglect to reply to comments on them which in my case just pisses me off.
There are thousands of Artist and Businesses out their fighting for the attention of New fans or clients why make it easy for them by alienating yours because you failed to respond to comments they are making on your social media postings and livestreams. Your fans are your best advertisement you have and all it cost is a few moments of your time, remember A&R People and Record Labels look at this as well as your ability to be consistent, professional and a great work ethic not just good but GREAT. I've seen and personally been involved with those whom start out interacting with supporters and fans and once they get the attention of the Industry they forget and neglect what got them to the place and places there in at this moment, although your fans and supporters can be your biggest asset they can also become your demise if neglected, and give them credit they get your touring and have thousands and thousands of fans and will understand if it takes a day or two for you to reply to there comments, the important part is that you REPLY.
I have a few that I follow who could easily say " I'm To Busy" but instead say there's nothing more important than no matter what their doing they will drop everything to reply or respond personally via phone call or video conferencing. So How Busy Are you?
