Gather Your Superfans with youbloomConnect
How to Create an Online Community of Fans Using youbloom’s Concepts. One of the most magical aspects of being a performer is having a devout fanbase that believes in you and gives you support. This is, unfortunately, the hardest thing to develop when starting out on your journey. As artists, our passion is honing our craft and creating new works, but this is all for nothing if we can’t build a fanbase that supports a career. Luckily, the internet has made this whole process easier, giving niche acts easy access to fans from around the globe. youbloom is here to share our insights, and this blog will show you how our philosophies translate to a dedicated fanbase and thriving performance career. One of youbloom’s inspirations is Kevin Kelly. He speaks to the importance of honing in on your niche in his 2008 essay, “Thousand True Fans.” As the title suggests, Kelly believes that one thousand superfans can support an artist’s career. His hypothesis is that if 1,000 people spend $100 on an artist in a year, that artist will take home $100,000 in profits. youbloom believes in this philosophy, and is devoted to making it a reality for our artists. You can find Kelly’s essay here. There are several metrics available on the Connect dashboard. With an artist account, you can access information about your fans’ streaming data. With the fan’s permission, youbloom will show you where your fans are streaming from as well as their social media information. This will help you develop a branding strategy, and if enough fans are located in one city, a Show Creator can be contacted to set up an event in that area! Even if your fans are scattered across the globe, youbloom’s analytics are critical for connecting you with your true fans in order to develop that thriving career that Kevin Kelly writes about. youbloom’s belief in the 1,000 superfan concept has guided our operations and helped us push small artists into the spotlight.
