EP Promotional Planning

Today I have been completely focused on planning the promotional schedule for my EP release.

I have now finished all of the actual music that is being released, so everything else is going to be related to promotional content.

I have tried lots of different styles for promoting the songs that I have been releasing on the last few months. However, for the EP and the final song I really wanted to focus on what the song means to me, and the mantra that is part of its lyrics.

As with everyone else is doing now, I used ChatGPT to help me sort this plan out.

I use it in a way where I provide rough ideas and content and it helps me refine them and flesh them out. Then I will take the parts that I like and work on them myself some more.

A few months ago I brain dumped a big block of text of what this song does mean to me, and why I want to share it into the world.

I then put this prompt into ChatGPT

So it used just what I had written, but re-ordered and segmented it into 12 thematically consistent snippets. So this is going to be the basis for some of my promo material.

Then I wanted to create some ideas based on the mantra that forms some of the lyrics in the song, so I gave ChatGPT this prompt.

And this gave me a large selection of ideas, some which were quite interesting, some which I'm definitely not going to use.

Then one last prompt to see what the order it best thought I should post these.

With every response it gave I always end up editing it and changing things around. I find for me personally it can just help speed up the process for some parts.

I then added everything in to my Gantt chart and re-arranged it until it made sense for me and wha tI wanted to achieve.

So this is basically a summary of everything I'm going to be working on for the next month or so.

Re-purposing content

I also have all the footage from when I wrote the song because I did it almost completely live on twitch stream.

So I want to take the highlights of these streams and create some material that shows the process live in action.

This is quite laborious as there are about 7 3-hour long videos of me writing and producing the song.

Today I made it through 1 of them just highlighting some clips that I think would work well.

This is what that list looks like.

So I've got a lot more time to dedicate to doing that.

While I was going through this first video I thought it might be a good idea to actually create a huge post documenting the entire process for this song as well. I don't know if I will end up doing that because it will be an extreme amonut of work but let's see what happens.
