For artists, bands, and producers

A release, as a run of posts.

Build a release into a run of posts, keep posting between releases, and turn listeners into people who turn up.

The problem

What holds musicians back.

  • Everything goes quiet between releases.

  • A song gets one post and is then forgotten.

  • Followers listen online but never come to a show.

In Synclify

How Synclify helps.

01

A release as a sequence

Announcement, snippet, release day and the weeks after, planned together and scheduled to the minute rather than remembered one post at a time.

02

One track, many posts

A single track becomes reel scripts, carousels and captions in your own voice, so the quiet weeks have something in them.

03

The link, sent for you

Somebody comments the word and the link to listen arrives in their DMs, paced when Smart Delay is on, so it never reads as a bot.

The number worth watching

Shares, and saves on snippets

Music travels by one person sending it to another, which is exactly what a share is. A saved snippet is somebody meaning to come back and hear the whole thing, and both matter more than a follower who scrolled past.
Asked

Which snippets did people share?

Answered

The chorus snippet, sent on far more than anything else this month. The studio clips stayed with your followers. Want the release week planned around it?

A week that works

Four music posts worth making this week.

  • Monday reelFifteen seconds of a song being written or rehearsed, with the lyric on screen.
  • Wednesday postUpcoming shows with dates, cities and a ticket link.
  • Friday reelThe chorus of the new release, performed live rather than over the studio track.
  • Sunday storyA clip from the weekend's show, filmed from the crowd.

Two mistakes that cost music accounts the most

Posting only on release day.

Post the making of the song in the weeks before. The release lands on people who already care.

Using your own track without saying what it is.

Name the song and where to hear it on screen. People hear a clip and want to find it.
