First, what is an Amplify Hotsheet Submission?
A Hotsheet submission is the easiest way to get people talking about what your working on. Think of it a a mini press release. But really it doesn’t have to be much more than what you would post on social media. It’s something you want others to share with their followers to help them discover your art or learn more about you.
What makes a great submission?
Well, anything really! You just want to help your fans find new and engaging info about your music. Here’s just a list of some great examples for Hotsheet submissions:
- “Here’s a photo of us working on a song in the studio”
- “I have a new track coming out on 1/1/2020”
- “We just dropped a new video at this link”
- “The band bought some sweet track suits and are planning a trip to Sweden!
- “We’ve got a cool show coming up” (Though you should also post the event”
- “I’ve got a great new collaboration with…”
How To Make Your Submission Truly Awesome!
So, now that we know what you got going on you’ll want to help your news be shared by other musicians, businesses and OkSessions. The best way to do that is make sure to include good links, and content. Videos and photos make awesome submissions because they are so easily shareable. But feel free to write a good title for how you’d like to be shared. Include good tags for your accounts so you can be found easy.
Bonus points? Sure!
For an even better approach, let us know in advance of the release of new materials and the community can work together to promote. For example
