POPULARITY
Today's society is composed of visually-oriented individuals, and music artists must look for new ways to get their work out there. To address this hole in the market, Jess Robert decided to start LyricVids.com. Joining Bree Noble, she shares how their freelance work snowballed into a full-blown company that provides lyric and animated videos. She breaks down how their services help music artists promote their songs, build their brand, and boost audience engagement with new yet familiar content. Jess also talks about her hopes for more female representation in the music industry, as well as the artists she loved working with, from Alicia Keys, Emily King, to Olivia Newton-John.
I spent $1500 on a lyric video for my new cover song of "In The End" by Linkin Park. I hired LyricVids.com who did a phenomenal job from start to finish. Use code: MANA for a discount Watch the lyric video they made for In The End: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vn0TPFFEOY
LyricVids.com co-founder Anthony Craparotta explains the WHAT and the WHY about Lyric Videos, talks about the inspiration for his rap moniker ILLVIBE [from A Tribe Called Quest], opening for Kehlani and Chris Brown in Croatia, turning an audio artpiece into a visual digitally animated asset, the utility of lyric videos for both current and legacy artists, the challenges of interpreting lyrics when the artist is currently in jail, the necessity of resuming cold calls & emails as he pursues his goal of breaking into the film & tv industries, and breaking news about the new ILLVIBE single dropping soon!

When you release a new song you need content to promote it. Lyric videos are a huge opportunity to promote your song – not just for hype, but for discoverability. We sit down with Anthony Craparotta (aka illvibe) of LyricVids.com on why lyric videos are an important part of your content strategy, where they fit in the mix with everything, and what they do for artists. What You'll Learn Why you should be making lyric videos for your songsWhy lyric videos are better than a music video on a small budgetWhere music videos fit into your music promotion mixWhy you need multiple "waves" of content for each songHow lyric videos help people "get in the door" with your bandWhy you need to view yourself as "Band CEO" and business owner -- About Music Business Mindset Music Business Mindset is the official podcast of Evergreen Records – a production company dedicated to helping independent artists grow.

Most freelance creatives face one large problem: they need more clients. This is the same problem Anthony Craparotta faced when he launched Lyricvids.com. Anthony offered an amazing service, but struggled to fill his calendar with paid work. Instead of sitting around, relying on “hope marketing”, he took marketing into his own hands and started emailing his ideal clients. These people had no idea he existed, but he was able to turn them from strangers into clients. Fast forward to 2018 and he was able to break 6 figures. The best part is that he's been able to double LyricVids income every year since then… all from cold emails. Learn more about growing from a small side hustle to a thriving freelance business with Anthony Craparotta on this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast!

iLLvibe is an acclaimed hip hop artist from Toronto, Canada, who also runs a lyric video company, LyricVids.com. He came on our radar after speaking at Future Music Forum in Barcelona, where he hosted a session called "The Importance of Musicians/Artists Thinking Like Content Creators". As someone who creates a lot of high-quality content for himself and others, Illy had much to say on this Music Growth Talks episode. He gave examples of when lyric videos come particularly handy, explained why filming a low budget music video can “brand you down”, and talked about reaching new fans through video on social media. He shared tips on using targeted ads and crafting your brand’s story, as well. Listen to the podcast in full to also learn why being an underdog can boost your growth, and what kind of call to acton to give to you superfans. ⏯ Go to http://dottedmusic.com/2018/podcast/mgt121-illvibe for the show notes and http://musicgrowthtalks.com to subscribe to the podcast.
