The Beam Artist Guide

Step 1: Share Performance Data

Superfans love seeing how their support impacts your journey. Use The Beam’s performance data to connect:

  • Highlight Milestones: Share key achievements, like ranking in a Chart Season or growing your superfan base.
  • Show Gratitude: Let fans know how their engagement drives your success.
  • Create Conversations: Ask for fan input on how to improve or what they’d like to see next.

Pro Tip: Post screenshots or infographics of your data for easy, visual engagement.


Step 2: Use Existing Content Strategically

Repurpose what you already have to keep your fans engaged:

  • Reshare Highlights: Post old performance videos, interviews, or photos with a fresh caption.
  • Curate Playlists: Share your favorite tracks, including your own music and inspirations.
  • Feature Fan Content: Highlight posts, comments, or videos from your superfans.

Remember: Reusing content doesn’t mean recycling—it’s about presenting it in a way that feels new.


Step 3: Leverage Superfan Subscriptions

Superfan Subscriptions on The Beam are built for passive engagement:

  • Activate Fans with Data: Give superfans access to exclusive insights about your performance metrics.
  • Reward Loyalty: Celebrate your superfans in public posts to make them feel appreciated.
  • Promote Voting: Encourage superfans to help boost your ranking in Chart Seasons.

Step 4: Engage Through Q&A and Polls

Interaction is key to engagement, and you don’t need new content to create it:

  • Run Polls: Ask fans to vote on setlists, upcoming releases, or even their favorite tracks.
  • Host Q&A Sessions: Answer fan questions on social media or during live streams.
  • Gather Feedback: Use The Beam’s survey tools to learn what your fans love most.

Pro Tip: Keep questions and polls simple to encourage more responses.


Step 5: Celebrate Small Wins

Sharing your journey—even the small milestones—keeps fans engaged:

  • Celebrate Together: Acknowledge when you hit subscriber goals, reach a new chart position, or complete a gig.
  • Thank Fans Publicly: Simple shoutouts can go a long way in building loyalty.

Step 6: Stay Consistent and Authentic
