I've been researching the customer journeys of other music producers on IG.
One of the biggest pieces that got me from the point of liking/following to regularly engaging and eventually supporting is that at some point these artists established enough trust and credibility that I no longer felt like a skeptic.
One way they do this is through collaboration with other successful artists and engaging with each other's communities.
Has anyone found a successful strategy for connecting/collaborating with other creators? Specifically when you've had less of your own following/credibility?
