How Requesting by Fans Can Increase Your Reach

If you’re an emerging Artist, the one thing you may want to do to get your music out there to more people is collaboration and connection. Through youbloomConnect, not only can you interact with Fans in order to get requests to perform in your city, but you can also interact with other Artists signed up with youbloom to co-market with each other. 

Unlike Fans, where they can request any genre of music from anywhere, co-marketing from Artist to Artist tries to match you up with an Artist from a similar genre, Fanbase size, or travel radius (say within 100 miles for example). These matches are shared with Artists twice weekly and result in a social media takeover where they promote each other (and where possible, youbloom helps set up them performing together). 

While those matches do occur twice a week, eventually, there comes the time where it results  in a performance opportunity. It usually is around a month between announcing the performance and the show. This gives time for the Show Creator and Artists to complete set up as well as marketing to Fans. During this time, you can collaborate with other Artists in the exposure process, opening yourself to an entirely new Fanbase and increasing your opportunities for more live performances if the Fans of the other Artist want you to perform in their city. 

With youbloomConnect providing these connection opportunities for an Artist like you, live performance opportunities can be right there for you. In order to get started, apply to be a youbloom Artist today. 

Increase Exposure and Support of Artists with youbloomConnect  

As a Fan, with youbloomConnect, you can help increase exposure for Artists in many ways. To start off, youbloomConnect reaches out to an audience that loves live music performances, so it isn’t based on specific genres. It could be hyperpop, or just classic folk music. What does matter, and what could push expansion of the Artist’s Fanbase, is requesting them to play in your city. 

In order to set up a live performance to show more people your favorite Artists, you actually need to request the Artist to come to your city. youbloomConnect does have a hand in helping after the request comes in, but that responsibility is mainly given to the Show Creators. They are the ones who provide the opportunity for the Artist to set up their performances. This venue depends on what the city has available, but there really isn’t a limit on what can be used. But more on the Fan aspect. After the request is sent in, it may take some time for the request to result in a show for the Artist you’ve requested in your city. But youbloom updates you weekly through the entire process, along with putting you on to other Artists’ live performances. 

There’s a general Fandom of certain Artists, but there’s also those that are superFans. According to a report from Luminate, 15% of Fans in the US are superFans to particular Artists. This specific group of Fans spends 80% more than casual Fans on music, as well as spending money on vinyl and merch. This group of superFans are very loyal towards the Artists they support and would definitely want to see their favorite Artist live. 

The more people that request a certain Artist, the faster a request is able to result in a show and the performance can be set up. From there, the part of the Fan, aside from attending and of course promoting a show  to their community, is done.  You and your friends can enjoy live performances in your city just like that. If you’ve got an Artist you want to request to play in your city, sign up to youbloom.com and start bringing Artists you love to perform in your city.

Become a youbloom Show Creator to help promote independent artists and emerging artists with live shows.

The COVID-19 pandemic put a damper on live music, setting back small-scale independent artists and prohibiting music lovers from supporting these artists. One asset to emerge from social distancing was performing live concerts online. There were no concerts happening, artists turned to their own community to host intimate performances for their friends and family. They play for 10 to 20 people, the experience of performing live brought great opportunities for growth in popularity and skill. youbloom stands upon this philosophy that by working with the community to put on intimate live concerts, it opens a door for artists and their careers without the aid of bigger promoters and bookers. While online music streaming and social media may help fans find artists they like, many still seek out live music experiences to discover and engage with their favorite artists. youbloom provides a platform for indie artists to find gigs and fans to attend live shows. Fans may be able to discover their new favorite artists from youbloom’s live shows, but who is going to find the artists to play these shows? This is where you come in.
