Tag shapes
The tags that work in music have a shape.
The genre
Somebody looking for new music is looking for a kind of new music. #newmusic is not a kind of anything.
The city or the scene
A local live scene has an audience that turns up to things, which is the audience worth having.
The influence
Naming who you sound like is a search other people are already making, and it puts you inside it.
The common mistake
Tagging #newmusic and nothing about the genre, which puts a track in front of everybody and therefore nobody.
Five for one post
A starting five for a music post.
- 1#musicBroad: files the post under the right subject
- 2#songwriterMiddle: where most of the finding happens
- 3#producerMiddle: where most of the finding happens
- 4#indiemusicSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
- 5#unsignedartistSpecific: where a smaller account is seen
When tags will not help: A genre tag cannot help a clip that does not say what the song is. Name the track and where to hear it.
In Synclify
Measure them on your own posts.
A saved block of tags never tells you which of them worked. Synclify reads how each tag did across your own posts and writes a set for each new post before it goes out.
Measured on your account's own results, never on a topic average.
How each tag did on your last 30 posts
Sample account- #homeworkout
- #kettlebellflow
- #fitnessmotivation
- #morningmobility
- #fitness
Next post's set keeps the three that found people and swaps the two that did not.
Other topics
All twenty topics, and how crowding decides what a tag can do.
Better hashtags measured, then written.
