This is for all the bands...
If you say you are going to do something, such as a video diary of your tour, or of rehearsals maybe even while recording your next album, then Do It! Those little steps will spark interest but if you only ever do it once and blow it off then what the hell are you doing? I understand your personal life may get in the way but guess what? You want this "job", this "life" as a musician then make time to engage your fans or potential fans. Unfortunately its not just "play music and they will come", people have to actually find out about you, wheither word of mouth or other.
I've noticed my favorite band has taken social media by storm. So much so that I'm nearly dizzy and having trouble following them on all the outlets they are posting on. But I love the fact that all the band members are posting.
If you have a quirky sense of humor run with it. Use it as a way to draw the fans in. Use twitter hashtags to your advantage. See what is already trending and work with it or run with the old standbys #music #newmusic #musicmonday #tunesTuesday #FollowFriday
Just don't give up and don't expect the followers to come over night. Your effort is no longer just making the music you have to socialize too!
Once again just my two cents... Take it as you will.
