You can turn these ideas into songs, Vlogs, Q&A's, short form, or long form. Just be creative. You're an artist. Number one, why did you start making music? I made this idea number one because this is a question that's going to bring in the most fans, and it's a question you're going to have to keep answering throughout your whole career because people are always looking for something to connect to. So you need to go deep with your

answer: the deeper you go, the deeper the connection will be with others. Number two: what is your vision? This is another important question, so you need to take your time when answering this one. Because when you tell others your vision, they have to make a decision if they're going to join you on this journey or not. So your vision, AKA your plan, has to be attractive. Lay out the blueprint for where you want to take them. Number three: what's the number one lesson you've learned as an artist? You can tackle this question with something technical, like what you've learned using FL Studio, or something personal, like what you've learned about yourself. Number four: what's the biggest mistake you've made as an artist? This can be financially, creatively, business-wise, relationship-wise, etc. So like I said, there are many different ways you can answer these questions. Number five: show us your creative process. Walk us through the steps from start to the end of making a song or a beat. And you can even break down your process even more, make one.

video about beat selection or sound selection boom all right let's get it. Let's quick some Beats then you can make another video about your writing process. What are we going to call this Instagram?

[Music] number six who are your biggest Inspirations make content for each one and tell us how they affected you. number seven Studio or workspace tour show us your workspace and tell us the purpose of everything you use. number nine how do you handle negativity as an artist whether it's hate on social media or people in real life trying to discourage you how do you deal with it. number 10 what sacrifices have you made to get to where you are now again here's another question that the deeper you go the deeper the connection will be because this can be inspiring for someone who's in a similar situation as you. number 11 what are the biggest turning points in

your creative career. For example, for me, it was deciding to let go of music production and go all in on making video content that helps artists. Number 12: What are your favorite books, movies, songs, etc., and what have they taught you? This is one of those unlimited content ideas because you can make content for each book, movie, and song, or you can group them in categories and make a video on top five books that changed my life. Number 13: What do you wish you knew before becoming an artist? Again, this could be financially, creatively, mentally, etc. Number 14: How making music after X amount of years has changed you. These can be negative, positive, big, or small changes. Just be honest. We trust those who are real with us. Number 15: What pressure do you face as an artist? This can be pressure from society to be normal, pressure from your parents to get a regular job, any type of pressure you're facing because people want to know that you're fighting something, and pressure is a great enemy to fight because we can all relate. Number 16:

remix trending songs. Here's an idea that's a little more fun and less personal than our past ideas. Go on TikTok and Instagram, find the trending songs, and put your spin on them. Number 17: What habits have improved your creative process? For example, during the summer, this studio gets super hot because I didn't install any windows or AC when building it. Don't ask me why. So, to beat the heat, I started waking up earlier to make something before noon. That habit has stuck with me for two years, and that's why I'm able to make as much content as I do. Number 18: What skills do you still need to improve? People like to know that you're not perfect, that you're still a work in progress. This helps them see you more as a friend than as someone who's above them. Number 19: What's the worst creative idea you've ever had? Again, people like to know that you're not perfect, that you make mistakes, but also that you're willing to own up to them. Tell them how.

it turned out to be a terrible idea, and what you learned from it. Number 20: Show us your equipment. I can guarantee you receive comments about people asking about your mic, your instruments, your software, your camera, so here's your chance to answer them.

This will help people get to know you overall, not just as an artist. Show them what makes you unique. Number 25: React to your old songs or videos. This is your opportunity to make them laugh but also show them your progress. Number 26: What's the biggest

struggle you face as an artist. If you went to watch a movie about a character with no problems or struggles, you probably walk out that theater because it's boring. Struggles and overcoming them is what makes life interesting, so be vulnerable and honest. Number 27, who is your dream collab? This is your opportunity to get people to envision you working with a bigger artist. Number 28, get ready with me and then fill in the blank. For example, get ready with me before my performance. Then you can show them any routines, rituals, and even superstitions you do before performing. Number 29, what's the meaning behind your stage name? Did your grandma give you that nickname? My grandma called me Papa like I'm saying since a kid. Did you earn it on the basketball court? We'd love a good creation story. Number 30, explain your cover art. Many artists never explain their cover art and miss out on a big opportunity to help people connect with the song. Number 31, tell us about your hobbies. You're more than just a rapper or producer or singer here, so let

people get to know you by telling them and showing them your hobbies. Number 32, make a cover of a popular song. People already know these popular songs; however, they don't know you. You can put yourself in front of them by performing songs they already know. Number 33, explain your lyrics. Just Like Geniuses series verified talk us through each line, each hook, each verse, and then explain what it means. Number 34, show us footage from your performances. This one is a really easy content idea. Just set up your phone and camera and record your performance. Just show us the raw performance or cut up the clips into a video. Number 35, what is your biggest fear as an artist. Telling us or showing us what you fear makes you more of a human than an artist. It also helps people feel less alone because we all have fears. Number 36, clips of interviews or podcasts you've been on. These are other easy content ideas because you can just sit down and talk for hours and just cut up the clips. Number 37, behind the scenes footage.

humans are curious by Nature. we want to know what's happening behind the scenes, behind the curtains of an artist. so document all of it and then choose what you want to show us. number 38 fan appreciation posts. however, a lot of artists don't do it because those types of posts don't get a lot of likes or shares, but I promise this one will pay off in the long term. number 39 tutorials. we love those people who teach us something new or change the way we think, and tutorials are the best way to do that. you can make a tutorial on something technical like how to make a song, or something more personal like how you found your purpose. number 40 how do you overcome your fear of performing on stage. while this topic is directed towards musicians, it can resonate with so many others, like a student getting ready to present his project in front of his class. number 41 how do you handle creative block. again, this one can resonate with others as well, not just musicians, because we all feel stuck.

sometimes we all have blocks right in front of us so this question can help them overcome those blocks. Number 42: play your music for strangers and get their honest opinion. We all love raw and authentic content, that's why reality and prank shows are huge even though they're fake. Number 43: do unboxing and product reviews for gear that you use. Show people the products you believe in. It'll be like a friend's recommendation. Number 44: where and how do you find inspiration. Are you inspired by your city? Then you can make a vlog traveling around your city showing them your favorite spots. Are you inspired by older music? Then you can go to a record shop and dig into those crates. Number 45: unpopular opinions about fill in the blank. A lot of people have unpopular opinions but they're too scared to say them. Here's your chance to be a leader and express how you feel. Number 46: what are your biggest insecurities as an artist? I think you get it by now. We are more connected through our fears.

struggles. Our failures than our wins and accomplishments because it brings us comfort knowing others are going through the same thing. Number 47, play unreleased music. Play music that others have never heard before makes it feel exclusive and makes that person feel special that you shared it with them. Number 48, deconstruct a song like Geniuses deconstructed series break down your songs and beats. Number 49, ask your fans for topic ideas and turn them into songs. Asking your fans for something and rewarding them with a custom song builds trust and strengthens that connection with them. And finally, number 50, repurpose your content. The way social media works is that it shows your content to a certain amount of your followers so everything you make doesn't get seen by everyone. So don't be scared to post and even repurpose your content on other platforms. And those are 50 plus content ideas for artists but they can be used for almost any creative out there. I really hope these content ideas help and I'll catch you guys in the next.
