This is a challenge. Take it upon yourself to have at least 100 people who believe in you/your music and see by the end of the year you would be amazed. Other than chasing vanity, or metrics by asking anyone/everyone to “follow back”. You should give 100 persons a reason to bet on your music. They’ll tell others about you and followers will come.

In making themselves stand out one way or the other by reading and reviewing the latest trends in the music business. It’ll help your personality in the industry.

Anything could spring up when you spend more time with your contemporaries. Conversations can provide better perspectives on your dealings – art and Business of music.
