Building a Fanbase That Lasts: 7 Moves Every Artist Should Make

Streams come and go. Fans stay. Ask Wizkid FC. If you want to last in this game, you need people who ride with you long-term. Here’s how to build them:

1. Engage → Reply to comments and DMs. That “he noticed me!” feeling is priceless.

2. Own a Story → Every great artist has a story: Wiz = Starboy, Burna = African Giant. What’s yours? Push it till it sticks.

3. Exclusive Drops → Use WhatsApp groups, Telegram, or private SoundCloud links to make your fans feel special.

4. Collabs → Don’t just chase Davido. Work with fellow upcomers. Shared fanbases = growth.

5. Consistency → You don’t need 10 tracks a week. But steady drops and content keep you alive in people’s minds.

6. Offline Grind → Campus shows, open mics, street events. Online hype fades, but live memories stick.

7. Merch Moments → Even small. Branded tees, caps, stickers. Fans love to “rep” you.
