    How To Make A Sh*t Load of Content to Promote Your Music ft. Patrick Stafford #257

    Patrick Stafford is a videographer, content strategist, and worldbuilder who works hands-on with artists to shoot high-quality promo content in record time. His videos are tailored to the artist’s world, look high quality without breaking the bank, and consistently pull millions of views. In this episode, he breaks down his simple, repeatable, low-budget system for making a lot of content fast (like 50 reels in ~2 hours, seriously). We talk how much content to post per release, what metrics matter most, how to test different parts of your song to find the clip that converts, how alt accounts can help you reach brand new audiences, and much more.
