In this workshop, Steffen Geldner will go into some of the most relevant tools when it comes to current digital music marketing: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and streaming services. Steffen will show how the channels’ algorithms work and how you can optimize your content: How do I post YouTube Links on Facebook? Why am I not getting as much engagement as I should? What are successful musicians and their marketing teams doing differently? When and how should I share my content? How do I get into playlists on Spotify?
