The current artist paradigm is as follows: Engage people to become your fans and then engage those fans to become ‘superfans’, the idea being that superfans are prepared to give you lots of money for what you do.

Increasing your engagement should be a top priority.

1) Show loyalty to your fans. Maybe start a fan community and give them access to unique stuff.

5) Always interact and respond on your social networks.
