Songwriting and Social Media
Hey, everybody!
Does anyone here know of a good tutorial or even a book that has some good information on utilizing social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) to further one's songwriting career? About the only thing I'm on right now is Sound Cloud and Facebook. I've read that I need to get familiar more with social media. I'm 51 and I feel like I need to start fresh with this technology that wasn't around 20 years ago. In other words: I need to catch up! Thanks, everyone!

Set up a Twitter, Facebook and similar accounts so you can connect SoundCloud to them to announce when you upload things at the very least.
SoundCloud itself is a very active social network - this article also goes into exploiting those aspects of your membership there.
That should get you started.

Re: Songwriting and Social Media
I have several of Bobby Owsinksi's books, and have gone to his seminars at AES in years past. he's a good writer and presenter.
My version of this book is "3.0" and is quite old by now; thanks for the link as I definitely plan to update to his latest "4.1" edition.

Re: Songwriting and Social Media
songwriting was a cornerstone for me at the beginning. But since I've started earning some extra money by writing for students, I've acquired great writing skills and now songwriting is not a problem for me anymore.
Re: Songwriting and Social Media
Bem, você pode começar a usar diferentes plataformas de mídia social. Quase todos eles têm um guia sobre como usá-lo. De um que eu posso recomendar é definitivamente olatcc. Eles têm diferentes guias que você pode precisar. Tenho certeza de que isso será útil para você.
