Tips for Instagram Singers | Posting Singing Videos on Instagram

Posted on 27/05/2020 by TeenStar

Do you want to take your career to the next level from the palm of your hand and without even leaving home?

Posting singing videos on Instagram is a great way to showcase your talent, attract fans and become popular online. If you want to get noticed, gain followers and possibly even become Insta famous, we have some top tips for Instagram singers.

Social media is a great way for you to showcase your singing talent to your friends and fans. In this article, we’ll explain how to use it as a tool for engagement and boosting your fan base.

Tips for Instagram singers

Over a billion people use Instagram every month. That’s a digital ocean of potential fans, listeners and watchers. Instagram is huge. It’s no wonder there are so many singers on Instagram. People interact with the content far more than on any other social media network. In fact, research from 2016 showed that Instagram posts have 58% more engagement and sharing than Facebook ones do.

However, that doesn’t mean it‘ll be the right promotional source for you. You need to decide if the demographics of this social media platform suit you. Almost 70% of all users are female, and nearly 60% of all 18 to 30-year olds use it. If that’s your target market (and as a contemporary singer there’s a good chance it is), you need to start an Instagram singing account.

Singing on Instagram

Firstly, you need to know how to start singing, and what’s involved with posting videos on Instagram. It’s a relatively simple process.

We’ll tell you how you can start singing, make videos, get your video views up, use Instagram hashtags for singers, and more. Singers on Instagram use this platform to engage and boost their fanbase, and you could too.

How to sing on Instagram

By having a dedicated fanbase and followers, you can get your singing videos to spread far and wide to a huge audience. For singing videos or any other video for that matter, you need eyeballs on them. To best reach high viewing figures, you will need followers (and we have some tips on how to increase those lower down), but there are a few other things you can do to in the meantime.

Choose relevant singing hashtags (more about this later).
Optimise your video description and title so people know what it’s about.
Schedule your video post to publish at the peak time of the day.
Run Instagram video ads
Promote your Instagram account when you sing at open mic nights.
Be creative with your singing hashtags.
Join trending hashtags in your music niche.
Get involved with other singers and music conversations.
Interact with top influencers in your particular music niche.
Develop your own character and recognisable style.
Use inventive ways to get people to share your video content.
Add lyrics and other tagged content.

Posting singing videos on Instagram

Knowing the best times for posting your singing videos on Instagram could be the difference between your content spreading like wildfire or bombing with zero engagement. Research suggests that users are more active on Instagram between the hours of 8 and 9 in the morning on Monday and Wednesday. But that is a generalisation across all genres and users. So it might not be the right time for you and your audience.

We recommend you test out posting days and times. Then after you’ve done this a few times, look for patterns of engagement to help you come with the best time to schedule your videos.

IGTV and Instagram for singers

Connected to Instagram, is IGTV. You can watch live IGTV via Insta (look for the circle saying the person is ‘live’ on their profile. Or you can go to the IGTV app to browse content that’s of interest. The main benefit as a creator is that you can stream live and record much longer pieces than you can upload to your profile. Launched in 2018, it’s gaining momentum. So it’s well worth getting yourself on there.

Instagram for musicians

By showing you’re active on Instagram, your followers are more likely to interact and less likely to unfollow you. You don’t necessarily need to post every day, but posting a couple of photos a week gives your fan base an inside look into what you do when you’re not performing. So when you’re doing an open mic night or practising with your singing teacher, why not upload a picture or a video, that way fans can see the behind the scenes moments too. It’s also important to remember to interact with their posts as well as yours.

This is one of the most effective ways of using Instagram to your benefit. By tagging relevant phrases or words to your pictures, you are able to target the people who are interested in similar posts. For example, let’s say you’ve just sung at your local open mic night. Afterwards, why not upload your picture and use hashtags like #music, #openmic and #singer. That way you’re more likely to gain followers with similar interests and aspirations.

Is Instagram good for musicians?

Social media takes a bit of effort to maintain, but the benefits are well worth it. The beauty of Insta is you can spy on other performers to see what they’re doing, what works well, what doesn’t and pick up some promotional tips. You can use live formats for an exciting, dynamic approach to your videos.

Once you’ve got a wider fan base, then why not interact even more with your followers by running a competition? Contests are a brilliant way of spreading the word with very little effort. The best way to run a contest is to do the following:

Make uploading a picture essential, that way the hashtag can be searched by other entrants.
Create a hashtag all people who enter must use.
Make a rule that all entrants must be following you, that way you’ve built more fan base.
Make sure the prize is relevant to you as a singer.
Upload a prize winner’s post, so other entrants can see you’ve chosen a winner

This one strategy is how some of the most popular Instagram singers got noticed on their way to becoming famous, with their singing video views going through the roof. Which brings us onto…

How to become a famous singer on Instagram

The most successful up and coming singers on Instagram try to reply to fans and friends regularly to show their appreciation for their comments and support. By showing you are active on Instagram, your followers are more likely to interact and less likely to unfollow you.

You don’t necessarily need to post every day, but posting a couple of photos and singing videos a week gives your fanbase an inside look into what you do when you’re not performing. It’s also important to have a great bio. This is the description of you as an artist.

It’s not all about you though. It’s also important to remember to interact with their posts as well as yours. This can gain you huge respect and help accelerate you towards possibly becoming a famous singer on Instagram.

And remember to always interact with your followers. If you don’t reply to their messages or simply thank them for a comment, it’s unlikely they’ll continue to take notice of you. So make sure you reply to fans and friends regularly to show your appreciation for their comments and support, even if it’s just to say thank you.

We publish singing and promotional tips on a weekly basis. Many of those will be posted to our social media accounts, including our Teenstar Instagram account. Be sure you follow us and interact.

If you prefer to read it online, you have full access here:

I’m really excited to show you how I’ve been able to get over 100K listens/views on some of my songs. This has led to many opportunities and amazing new studio clients.

Take my song I Can’t Say ILY as an example. I went from a few hundred views to over 100k views in about a month!

In this exclusive guide, I will unleash my secrets and tell you to step by step how to do it yourself.

Please keep in mind, there’s no magic pill. It takes hard work and creativity. However, this will get you there much faster than how I had to do it (trial and error)!

Okay, let’s get started.

1. CREATE SHARE-WORTHY CONTENT

The first step to make your music go viral is to have something share-worthy! It has to be either so good people can’t help but share (like Beyonce), or have a media component tied to it that appeals to your audience.

Think about Old Town Road by Lil Nas X, the song went viral and his music career sky-rocketed. He had an innovative song since he mixed country and trap, but just releasing the song wouldn’t have been enough.

Lil Nas X made about 100 different memes with his song in the background prior to the song taking off. One of the memes caught the attention of a Tik-Tok influencer and before you know it the entire world knew about it!

You have to get creative. What is something everyone is talking about right now in the media? Think about ways to leverage that with your creation.

Here are some steps towards getting your content shared:

Get your song recorded, mixed and mastered by someone who can make it sound amazing sonically, or learn how to do it yourself. If you want to save some money and you know how to produce, create the beat and then just get your vocals professionally recorded.

I produce many songs from scratch with my clients, but I also have a lot of clients that bring me a backing track and then I record, mix and produce their vocals and master their entire song.

Contact Jony Studios if you’d like to have your song recorded, mixed and mastered by a professional.

It just has to be at a level where people can truly enjoy listening to it over and over again. Bon Iver recorded his entire debut album in a cabin with a $100 mic (a Shure SM57) and won two Grammys!

The point is to CONNECT with the people you want listening to your music. Video is perfect for this.

Is it funny, is it shocking, is it really emotional?! Then take your song and ask yourself: what can I add to the video portion to make it something worth sharing. Also, controversy works, just be careful because if it is done in an untasteful manner, it can have a severe impact on your brand image.

2. FIND YOUR TARGET MARKET AND AIM TOWARDS THEM

When you first start out nobody knows you! The one thing you do know is that your music is influenced by other musicians. The key is to study the super fans of the artists similar to your music that are at the level you want to be at. Write a detailed profile of the commonalities between them. Is there a common age range? Do they go to school or work? Are they single or married? etc.

You can find all of this information from Instagram/Facebook/Twitter. Data is power… remember that. If you can get into the minds of your potential soon to be fans, you will be able to locate and connect with them through your content.

3. TELL YOUR STORY AND BE 100% AUTHENTIC

Be real! Talk about your flaws, your weaknesses, your struggles, your happiness and your success. People connect with other people, not objects. When you show your human side you build a real relationship with your audience.

To be honest, I still struggle with this. It’s hard for me to be vulnerable to social media and I think this has had an impact on my growth. The times I’ve talked directly to my iPhone camera and put myself fully out there on my Instagram stories it ended up getting the most engagement.

Look at Cardi B for example, she is who she is and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks of her. That’s why people either love her or hate her. It’s a lot better to be polarizing and unapologetically yourself, then so passive that no one will ever remember you.

Do you know anyone who doesn’t like watching movies or tv shows? Mean either. It’s because we love a good story! Show the climb, be honest about your obstacles, create suspense, celebrate your victories. Take your future fans on a journey they don’t want to miss. Let them in on the action and watch as you create a movement that will launch you to success!

4. NETWORK WITH INFLUENCERS AND ADD VALUE TO THEM

The Internet has given you access to a lot of people that can take you to the next level. The fact that you’re reading this means you have access to me. We are connected! You can even come to record a song or even send me a mix to master from across the world!

It’s crazy when you think about it, and most people rarely utilize the Internet for their growth. Instead, they just spend countless hours watching Netflix and funny prank videos.

All the songwriters, music label execs, musicians, and business owners are on social media! You can reach out to them. One step you can take now to connect with others is to create a LinkedIn account for your music brand.

You can view mine here as an example. Through LinkedIn and other social media platforms, you can find playlist curators and a lot of people in the industry that can help you expedite your growth. The opportunities are endless.

In order to create meaningful connections when networking (either online or in-person) you must ADD VALUE first! No one owes you anything. If you just ask someone who doesn’t know you to do something for you, you can expect no response or a block.

You want to learn more about them to see how you can make their life easier, without expecting anything in return. Do you have a skill they could benefit from? Do they have a problem you can fix?

Those are the type of questions you should be asking yourself.

When you serve others, the doors of opportunity unlock and abundance will come flowing into your life like never before. I’m writing this free article for you currently at a Starbucks at 9:39 PM after a full day of work because I’m passionate about helping you!

This energizes me and allows me to meet amazing people while doing what I love.

Start shifting your mindset from “What can I get” to “How can I serve” and just watch what happens. Everything will start clicking into place.

5. GROWTH HACK YOUR WAY TO FAME

You can do all of the above and still have just your mom checking out your music haha. I’m exaggerating, but in order to fuel the fire, you need to harness the power of digital marketing!

You already know what I’m talking about.

You must have seen those ads everywhere on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Google. In order to go viral, you need to find the people that can resonate with your brand. Once you have your target market (as mentioned above) you can use that information to target them wherever they are online.

There are a lot of great strategies I have used that have created an impact, but to tell you all about them here would be too much reading! Schedule a music growth training session with me here and I can tell you all about it. I look forward to meeting you.

6. DON’T CONCENTRATE ONLY ON THE ENDGAME

If you focus all of your energy on the endgame (the really big ones), it will immediately affect your overall success.

Focusing entirely on the big finish is like dreaming of winning the lottery. You start to lose focus on the finer details and get discouraged when the outcome is not like what you expected it to be.

An example of this type of thinking would be to dream of getting in Rolling Stone while ignoring the massive number of publications willing to sign you and help you succeed.

Remember: to get to your endgame/final goal, there are many steps you need to achieve first. Concentrate on them and success will follow you.

7. SEEK POPULARITY NOT MONEY

Don’t only concentrate on earning from your music. Focus more on gaining popularity on various platforms, generate a fan base and a following before you seek an income.

The more popular you are the more your fan base will keep increasing thus increasing your sales.

8. REWARD YOUR FANS

Fans always love to be contacted by the band or the singer. Make it a habit to randomly reward your followers/fans. This will show how much you care about them and shows them how you go above and beyond for your followers, making them feel appreciated.

A good way to reward fans is by sending them a personal email, sending them free digital copies of your albums, setting up a meet and greets with a few lucky fans, etc.

Not only will this strategy generate a loyal fan base for you but will also help in creating a word-of-mouth advertising for your album/songs.

9. USE YOUR CONNECTIONS

Always make sure to keep track of all your connections on a Microsoft Excel Document.

It should contain the names, roles (family, friend, blogger, fan, etc. ) and email IDs of everyone you know and can connect with when a new album/song comes out. Try to keep them in touch with everything noteworthy that’s happening in your professional life.

This will increase the number of people your song reaches out to since your connections will be able to share your news with their loved ones and followers as well. Always make sure you keep updating your list. Note down every new ally you connect with and add them on the list as well.

10. COLLABORATE

The way to go viral is to find new fans. When you collaborate with other artists, it exposes your own songs to their fan base as well, thus increasing your followers drastically and immediately.

Make sure to have your social media account and website tagged and mentioned whenever you collaborate with someone. It is the best way to generate organic followers you don’t have to pay for.

11. USE INSTAGRAM LIVE

Instagram Live is an amazing tool you can use to engage with your followers and be extremely candid with them. Since the video is live, your followers can ask you questions immediately and can see the ‘real you’ without any filters or assumptions.

This is also a great tool used to advertise any new songs/albums, share exciting news and generate a buzz about any upcoming news.

According to research done by LiveStream.com, 80% of followers would rather watch a live stream than read a blog or social media post.

12. MAKE AN INSTAGRAM COUNTDOWN

Hype up your fans every time you have a song dropping to make them excited.

Prepare visual teasers for your fans and flood your story with these updates along with the countdown bar instagram has.

You can start promoting your song as soon as a month in advance but it is recommended to do so 10-14 days before the release date. Big musicians in the industry right now use this strategy to get their fans excited. They use close-up shots from their video, post descriptions and even post teasers from the song itself!

13. GET YOUR SONG ON A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST

Spotify has become a powerful tool for musicians and artists.

Not only will it expose your song to millions of people in one platform, but it can also help create a fan base for you. The way to do that is by getting your song on a Spotify playlist. And by Spotify playlist, I mean the playlists made by Spotify or by any major label.

There are a few ways to get your music noticed by some of these playlists:

Create a Spotify for Artists Account. Not only will this verify you instantly, but it will also provide you with analytics and notifications whenever your song is added to a playlist.
Direct your fans to your Spotify account by sharing a link on your social media and website. This will generate traffic on your Spotify page thus increasing the number of plays.

This is important because Spotify uses data such as plays, durations, the number of people listening to your song, etc. to decide the songs that go into a playlist. It’s important to be active on Spotify to get on a playlist.

You can contact individuals who own playlists and request them to include your song on their playlist as well.
You also have the option of submitting your song through your Spotify for Artists Account for consideration for the Spotify Playlists. There are only a few conditions before you submit your song:

14. CREATE A PROFESSIONAL-LOOKING VIDEO

Create a professional-looking video to go along with your song. This will not only give your fans something to look at while listening to your music but in some cases can also provide them with more in-depth content for your song.

Making a professional-looking video is not that difficult. All you need to do is get the right background, get a professional microphone and video camera and lastly, make sure to record your audio first and then your video.

Also, do remember to make your video SEO friendly. Make sure to use a lot of keywords and phrases that will get your video on someone's search results. The way to do this is to create a good video heading that clearly states the song’s name, album’s name and singer’s name and to use a lot of keywords in the description box.

Bonus Tip: Keep Learning and Investing in Your Growth

In order to make your music go viral you must keep learning and growing. You should always devote time to better yourself, this can sky rocket your success. Anyone you look up to in the music industry has learned as much as they can and continue to do so to improve. Whether it’s signing up for an online course or buying a book and taking notes on an aspect you want to master, there is no greater way to accelerate your career as an artist / music producer.

Music in Stories, short videos and replies with songs: Instagram will launch new features in Russia

June 22, 2021

Instagram has announced the launch of new features in Russia. Users will have access to a TikTok-like Reels video service and a music sticker in Stories. With it, you can add music to your stories and answer questions with songs. Russian Facebook users will be able to pin it in the profile header so that it plays when the page is opened

Starting June 23, Russian Instagram users will begin accessing Reels, a platform for short videos, the company said.

Finished reading here

With Reels, you can shoot and edit videos up to 30 seconds long, apply AR effects to them, and use the green screen effect to change the background. In Reels, you can add music from the app's library or choose from trends or recommendations. Users will also be able to create their own original audio, and if their account is public, other users will be able to use this audio in their videos.

Videos created with the new feature can be shared as Stories or Posts, limiting the audience if desired.

The battle for buzzers: how Instagram wants to take over the TikTok audience

In addition, Facebook and Instagram are also launching a new music sticker in Stories. To add music to your Stories, you will need to follow these steps:

open the camera in the application, select a photo or video from the gallery, click on the sticker icon and select the Music sticker;
find any song from the library, select a fragment, add the name of the artist and the name of the song. If the composition has lyrics, it will automatically appear on the screen;
click on a sticker to change the text style and animation. The sticker can be moved, rotated and resized.

With the release of the music sticker, Instagram and Facebook users will be able to answer questions in Stories with songs. In addition, Facebook users will be able to add their favorite track to the Hobbies / Interests section and pin it to the profile header - it will be played every time someone decides to visit this user's profile.

“Reinventing TikTok is unlikely to succeed”: what’s wrong with YouTube and Facebook’s short video services

Instagram began to roll out the Reels feature around the world in an attempt to attract the TikTok audience. In Russia, the short video format is gaining popularity - VKontakte is already developing its own clone of TikTok - the service is called Clips. In addition, in the fall of 2020, the head of the Ministry of Education, Sergey Kravtsov, announced joint plans with Mail.ru Group to develop an educational network for Russian schoolchildren, similar to TikTok.

How to add music to video on Instagram + 10 services

Today's article will answer in detail the important question - how to put music on video for Instagram. How not to get banned and avoid blocking publications? What apps and music tracks can I use? Where to find and download the best copyrighted music? About all this - below, and at the end of the article you will find a special life hack!

MUSTHAVE services for your Instagram!

TapLike - Instagram promotion. Buying followers, likes, story views, comments. Quality Audience! 100% service safety guarantee!

Instahero - instant cleaning of Instagram account from bots! Do a profile analysis for free!

Why add music to stories and videos?

Music definitely makes the content more dynamic and alive. A good composition can hold attention and evoke certain emotions in the subscriber. Have you ever seen high-quality video content without music?

Of course, a certain percentage of people keep their phones on silent. But we are targeting the entire audience.

Official music in stories via sticker

The English-speaking part of the audience has long been able to use the official compositions from the Instagram library as audio stickers.

This format is not yet available in Russia. Already, users can see the audio sticker widget directly when shooting stories.

The main problem is that the stories shot in this way will be silent for your subscribers :) Changing the IP to a foreign one will not help either, since your subscribers from Russia will have a Russian IP. The audio sticker attachment feature is likely to be activated in the near future.

Add music to your posts/stories in apps

There are several trusted useful services that will help your story and posts get the most interest from others. It is important not to forget that the current Instagram policy allows the use of licensed music that does not violate the copyrights of performers and their representatives. Therefore, the review will not contain dubious applications, the use of which can lead to restrictions on your account.

InShot (IOS/Android applications)

One of the best video editors that combines colossal functionality for a mobile application, a clear interface and its own library of licensed songs. Used by a large number of users for more than a year.

The application is available on Google Play and Itunes, the first installation gives a trial period of using the full functionality, which can really surprise you.

The interface is intuitive, it is very, very easy to figure out the procedure. In order to add music, click on create a new video.

Next, select the "Songs" item.

Here the library of performers opens, select the artist you like and the composition in the list inside.

InShot offers to copy the original title and artist so that users can optionally find the song they like while watching your video. Click "Use" and the music audio will be added to the video, after that you can trim the audio file to your liking, adjust the volume.

The screenshot below shows an incomplete list of what this program is capable of: working with an image (correcting colors, cropping unnecessary frames), effects, text inserts and emoji. It can be safely recommended for permanent use.

KineMaster (IOS/Android apps)

Another powerful video editor, the interface is somewhat more complicated, but it's easy to understand. Here you can use the chroma key, control the speed of the video and many other useful features.

KineMaster is convenient to work with videos for different platforms, when creating a new project, the application offers a choice of format: library, all sorts of sound effects are immediately presented.

VideoLeap (IOS/Android application)

This editor has advanced functionality and is constantly updated on the iOS platform, the Android version allows you to add only licensed tracks from the library on your device, which is quite inconvenient, because most often such compositions are only shareware.

MovAvi (IOS/Android app)

Application links are available on the official website.

An application with nice and clear functionality, a small part of the audio files from the library is free, the rest of the application will offer to pay for use in your video material.

The disclaimer makes it clear that all audio content is official and is completely legal on the platforms. The library is intelligently divided into sections, so the search for songs is noticeably easier. If you have the ability and desire to use paid tracks, this is definitely a very good choice.

Where can I find licensed music for Instagram? TOP ways!

The author of the article himself uses several proven ways to find the best licensed music without fear of restrictions from Instagram:

InShot Library

The application has a lot of high-quality songs for every taste, for which you don’t have to pay extra. And in general, this program has long been the flagship among video editors for the social network Instagram.

SoundCloud + Telegram bot

SoundCloud.com is a music social network that publishes millions of licensed songs available for use. Search for "License > Commercial Use".

The platform itself does not allow you to download songs in Mp3 format to your computer, but there are third-party services that allow you to quickly and easily download a song of interest. One of these services is the Telegram bot SoundCloud Downloader, you just need to send a link to the bot and then download the audio file.

YouTube Audio Library

The service from Google also prohibits the use of music that is not protected by copyright in videos, but it has a huge library of music with an extended license, these files can be used both for personal purposes and for commercial use. You can download music from YouTube using websites and various programs.

Other ways to find licensed music

In addition to the above methods, there are many more programs and libraries that you can use:

Facebook music library - a couple of thousand free songs and sound effects, you can find something suitable if you want;
StoryBeat - this application still allows you to add any hit tunes and Instagram skips such stories, but how it works, and most importantly - how long it will roll - is unknown;
if you need realistic sound effects, the soundtrack library from the BBC is the best fit, from the light noise of the surf and the crackle of a fire, to menacing natural phenomena, this format of musical accompaniment will definitely attract subscribers;
other audio services and applications such as VivaVideo, Timbeek, Vigo Video, Pic Music, Insta Video Mixer.

When posting posts and stories, Instagram checks the audio sequence for acceptability, and if the track or sound effect does not meet the general requirements of the platform, such content will not pass moderation or will be banned in the future. However, there is a kind of life hack, which was promised to be told at the beginning of the article.

Life hack - why won't Instagram ban you?

A small life hack. At the moment, Instagram does not analyze music in stories. If the post / IGTV video with licensed music is deleted instantly, then the story hangs quietly for the prescribed 24 hours. We can record music from any service/video using e.g. screen recording. This functionality is built into the iPhone, I'm sure on Android devices too.

Turn on screen recording and a music track that will be added to stories. When you record the desired fragment or the entire song, stop recording the screen. Then add the audio track from our recording to your story using the InShot app (there is an "import music from video" button).
