Aims:

• Evidence audience engagement
• Show responses to audience opinions

In this blog I will be going to showcase the audience interaction with my posts as well as other different ways which I have been able to interact with the viewers, examples include stories with polls and ‘ask me anything?’ question as well as comment sections of the original posts.

Here above are example of the more dedicated and interactive viewers and followers who are willing to comment their opinions, thoughts and feelings, this gives me an idea of how people feel towards my product and so will be able to further my production and make specific changes along the way depending on the opinions of the viewers. If I am able to please and entertain my audience then I’m more likely to gain traction from more people as word spreads, that way I will be able to increase the number of fans, listeners and followers.

More evidence of audience interaction comes in the form of Instagram  stories and highlights reel:

These stories highlight the interaction between myself and viewers who want to know more about what is to come, for example; when is the music video coming out or more personal stuff such as favourite oasis song or favourite artist. These interactions add more to a social media page as it makes the viewer feel more included and as one with the opinion leader/artist. This over time increase the respect gained and will ultimately spread my account in a better light making it more likely to gain more traction for certain things and therefore will be able increase the publicity of the brand which will overtime be able to increase the levels of production.

These are highlights posts which indicate the different things which are happening in the life of myself as the artist which feedback more to the audience about the different upcoming events, for example performing at Reading and Leeds fest this would persuade them to buy tickets to show their support as well as being able to share it around and create and active audience from multiple opinions being shared around.

FINAL TAKEAWAY:

• Interacting with an audience is a strong way of increasing viewership and recognition, I have learnt that trying to publicise will more than likely increase the number of followers and will give artists a better chance at becoming bigger names, this comes with interacting and finding out about what they want to see as well.
• Using social media as a platform is better and a more effective way of spreading the word and making sure that the name gets out there.
