The biggest lie in the music industry:
"You have to be a full-time influencer."
Today, I will show you 7 viral Reel ideas you can make in 30 seconds to less.
Now, you can spend your precious time in the studio, not stressing over content.
Ready? 🔥
1️⃣ Record your DAW & tell a story with text.
💡 Pro tip: Make the video a perfect 8 bar loop of the chorus of your song, so that it loops when replayed and people can easily rewatch it.
2️⃣ Simple "About Me" Reel to find your audience.
💡 Pro tip: Act like you're sitting across from the person watching the video and introduce yourself. Take a sip of coffee or do some sort of movement in the video to add a visual hook that grabs people's attention.
3️⃣ Remix a popular song to sound like "Winter".
💡 Pro tip: Set the mood to make the video look like it's winter. Wear a hoodie or film outside or next to a window on a darker, cloudy day.
4️⃣ Set your phone down and mention legendary artists in your text hook that sound like your song.
💡 Pro tip: Vibe out to your song: groove, lipsync the lyrics, dance, etc. Pretend like you're showing the song to a good friend in the studio.
5️⃣ Lipsync or perform your song in the car.
💡 Pro tip: Set your phone behind the steering wheel, so it adds depth to the video.
6️⃣ Give a sneak peek of your song in the studio.
💡 Pro tip: Move back and forth in the video between you and the DAW to make the video more engaging + add text hooks which tell a story like the ones in this reference video.
7️⃣ A relatable and simple video you can film at work.
💡 Pro tip: You don't have to actually play your music out loud; you can add it later in your editor. Just film yourself reacting and add room above your head while filming, so you can add the text later.
💯 Takeaways
- You don't have to spend hours on content to go viral.
- All you need to film is your phone, not expensive camera gear or lighting.
- Creating relatable stories in your videos will connect with more people.
