  Man. This was so encouraging. I have been going for six years straight no single viral moment just brick by brick and let me tell you. It is a slow painful process. But I am building something. I’m proud of. I love my music. I love my videos. I love my brand when the volcano finally blows. I’m going to be set up for life without a record deal without label support all from my own blood sweat and tears. Thank you so much for doing this video.

  TikTok's algorithm genuinely sucks now, and it has ever since it sold

  Hey Nick, thank you so much for your advice. Because of you, I recently crossed 50,000 monthly listeners. It might seem small to some people, but it means a lot to me.<br><br>I&apos;ve been following your advice for about three years now, consistently applying what you&apos;ve taught. In the beginning, it felt like nothing was happening, and there were times when I wondered if it was even working. But I kept going, and now I&apos;m finally seeing the results. The fruits are paying off, and things are starting to fall into place.<br><br>I just wanted to say thank you. Keep doing what you do. I&apos;m really looking forward to more of your work and everything you guys are building with Connor Price.<br><br>Peace.

  Please keep making these type of helping videos on YouTube, ive watched them all. Im Kevin Sommer on spotify and my biggest issue is trying to think of content to film that isnt boring lame and is linked to the music. Music content is the hardest to make i feel like because your video needs to relate to the song or it wont convert to streams. But my videos related to the music are so boring and hard to think of

  I don’t want my comment to be misunderstood. I think your video is excellent, and I agree with everything you said. At the same time, I think we should look at things from a slightly different perspective today.<br><br>No matter what we create, we should be grateful that we are able to create at all. We have hands that can play a guitar, legs that can carry us to a keyboard, a voice that can sing, and eyes that can read and experience the world around us. And even those who cannot see often find other ways to perceive, imagine, and create.<br><br>I think we should be grateful for every day we wake up and for the opportunity to create something in this moment. Many people never get the chance to reach this point, and many don’t wake up to experience another day. Everything beyond that may simply be a gift.<br><br>Whether our music goes viral or not, I believe what truly matters is appreciating that we are here on this planet, healthy enough to create, express ourselves, and share our art. Right now, there are countless people who would give anything to be able to pick up a guitar, play a song, or create something meaningful, instead of facing the possibility that tomorrow may never come.<br><br>That’s why I believe gratitude for the ability to create is one of the greatest gifts of all. ❤

  Tiktok sucks big time. They put &nbsp;all my songs in tiktok jail 200-300 views. The only way to get out is to pay them to promote my music.

  Been making music for 5+ years. About 10 months ago I started posting One Direction singing videos from my car, then live singing parties and performances at concert queues.<br><br>Now I&apos;m averaging 2.5M views per month across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, with over 8M total views in the last 10 months and only 10k followers.<br><br>Biggest lesson: it wasn&apos;t one viral moment. For 7 months I posted once a day. Now it&apos;s 3–5 times a day. Consistency compounds.
