Have you wondered how to promote a show? Facebook Messenger offers a new and fun way to connect with your audience and keep them abreast of upcoming events. Watch and read on to learn how I use Messenger and ManyChat to engage with my audience and grow my business.
Today we talk about how to promote a show using Facebook Messenger and ManyChat. Many of us hang out on Facebook throughout the day, it’s on the cell phone, laptop and tablet. Sending messages through Messenger is an instant way to connect with people so it’s no surprise that musicians are using it to stay in contact with fans. If you don’t have a mailing list yet, consider using Facebook Messenger to grow your audience. If you’d like to learn more about how these programs work, be sure to sign up for my free workshop. You’ll be the first to know about it when we schedule it.
