Darth Vader’s Guide To Getting Your Fans To Engage
You don’t have to be able to perform Jedi mind tricks in order to get people to open up your emails, read your blog posts, or watch your videos. You just need a hook and a great headline. But often when we sit down to write our minds go blank and what comes out is more along the lines of… Ummmmm, check out my music?
Well, it doesn’t have to be that hard…
I found a handy little tool called Portent’s Content Idea Generator that takes all of the work out of coming up with content ideas and supplies you with a near endless supply of titillating headlines that are sure to get your fans to engage.
Why is engagement important? Because fans that are engaged buy music, come to shows, and tell their friends. In short, engagement is everything.
I made a short video for you guys that explains how the whole thing works and how it can help you as a musician…
And yep, in case you were wondering where I came up with the headline for this very blog post…
So if you’re reading this… Well, it’s fair to say that the tool works 🙂
The tool is completely free. Just go to MusicMarketingManifesto.com/titlemaker and play around with the tool and see what you come up with. Post your funniest headlines in the comments below, drop me some feedback, or just say hey for that matter 🙂

Is Te Darth Vadar answer above your first experience at “age gap” awareness” Funny. My step daughter asked me a few years ago if I have ever heard of “Bohemian and Rhapsody, I brought out the queen tape it originated on 🙂
Thanks Dave. Perhaps it was. But I’d like to think Darth Vader sort of transcends all age groups 🙂
Yeah Jhon,
I had the priveledge of working up at Lucas ranch years back for one of my mentors at the time he was working, Only gig that paid me for set up, pretty amazing stuff.
Good stuff
I may be needing a hand soon. Nothing is making sense so I think everything is working:) Just may need some direction.
