Hey folks, I'm back for our weekly ask me anything! looking forward to answering any questions you have. I'm tapped in for the next hour to help with whatever I can! Let's talk! For those who don't know, I'm doing this every Wednesday from 7- 8p EST

I have had some very significant success as an independent artist. I go by Derek Minor. On IG, I'm sitting at 137k organic followers. I've never bought any followers or engagement. I also went pretty inactive over a time and had sporadic posts. What I've noticed is no matter what I post, the amount of followers that I lose exceeds the ones that I gain. Even with really decent content. I'd love to know has anyone ever experienced that?

I’m sure this list could be inexhaustible but does anyone have or want to start a list of music reviewers on Tiktok/IG?

Hey guys so I've been on my campaign for my single for about 2 weeks and I was wondering if hashtags are still relevant? I'm not really getting much traction on Instagram reels or youtube shorts. On tiktok I'm hovering around the 200 to 500 views. After watching The tiktok toolbox courses I'm definitely aware that I need to approach my content very differently but I figured I'd ask and see what everyone else is doing.

So I planned on boosting a post with my song in it but FB Ad Manager says that you can't boost a song with copyrighted music in it. Have you all ran into that? How do we fix it or work around it?
