Thanks to the advances in high speed internet, it is now much easier for people to be noticed by movie stars and producers, which can lead to a new career and ultimately untold riches. While there is no guarantee that you will ever be famous, your chances are higher if you put yourself online so that the world can see all of your talents.
Have you ever heard of Justin Bieber, Cody Simpson, Mia Rose, Julia Nunes or Dondria? All of these stars found fame through posting their videos online. If they can do it, why can’t you? The truth is that becoming famous is a mix of luck and talent. By creating streaming content online and getting it out to the masses, you can position yourself in a way that makes it possible for other artists and influential people to stumble upon your talents.
Start Broadcasting With a Content Delivery Network
If you are trying to get the word out about your music or other talents, you must create content that others want to view. Creating high quality audio and video content can help to build your fan base which can in turn lead to you being discovered for your talents.
While there are all sorts of sites that will host your content, you need to ensure that you are hosting with a company that can handle your growth as you become more popular. Using a content delivery network or CDN allows you to have a strong digital infrastructure that will be able to handle your growth. The last thing that you want is for your video to become wildly popular and your servers crash trying to deliver content to your rabid fans. Talk about a buzz kill!
With a CDN like TikiLIVE, you can focus on your talents and let us focus on delivering your content with absolutely no hiccups. Forget about buffering and streaming issues, TikiLIVE has state of the art infrastructure that can handle as many fans as you can find.
Build a Website
While broadcasting your streaming content online is important, having a website also gives you additional credibility. With popular content management platforms like WordPress, it is easier than ever to create a website with limited knowledge of HTML and other complicated coding languages. A platform like WordPress can get your site up and running in minutes. Use this platform to let people know what you are doing and where you are performing so that you can pique their interest and grow your fanbase.
TikiLIVE also allows you to embed your streaming content directly into your WordPress site. This allows your fans to view your content directly from your website as opposed to having to go to another streaming provider’s site. This keeps your fans on your site and provides a better opportunity to connect with them through other offerings that you may have.
Become Active on Social Media
No matter what demographic you are targeting, social media should be an important part of your overall marketing strategy. More and more people are using social media to track their favorite artists and movie stars, which makes it imperative for you to build your social media presence as quickly as possible. Begin by connecting with your fans and posting regular updates about what you are doing and where you are performing. This can allow your fans to connect with you on a personal level, which can create a loyal fan base.
One of the difficulties of social media is finding the time to share content on a consistent basis. With TikiLIVE, we help you solve this problem. Through our easy to use interface, you can post directly to many of the major social networks such as Google+, Facebook and Twitter. This allows you to instantly share your content with your fans. No longer will you be kicking yourself for forgetting to post to your social media accounts. TikiLIVE makes the process seamless.
Strong Mobile Presence
In years past when it came to online content, you were mostly concerned with PC users. Over the past few years there has been a seismic shift in terms of the device demographic of the average Internet user. In fact, in 2014 more people are accessing the Internet from mobile devices than from PCs. This means that if you are looking to build a loyal following you should put just as much effort, if not more, into reaching mobile users.
Thankfully, TikiLIVE is laser focused on the mobile experience. Through the utilization of HTML5, your users will receive a top-notch experience regardless of their device. Our technology allows our customers to view content on a variety of devices including tablets, mobile phones, computers and even televisions. We want to make sure that our customer’s content is available to as many people as possible and catering to mobile users is a big part of this process. Regardless of the type of device that your fans may use to access your content, rest easy knowing that they will be provided with a high quality user experience.
Monetization of Your Content
While this is probably the last thing on your mind, with TikiLIVE you can actually make money from your online content. Whether you want to charge people to view your live performances, past shows, or other “insider” content, TikiLIVE gives you a wealth of options to make money doing what you love. While this may not be as important to you now, as your fan base grows, TikiLIVE will be there to assist you every step of the way.
