Good advice. What is a good way for me to get more engagement on some of my songs. I composed transformative songs to accompany Tarot cards from a game. I have these songs on YouTube, so when I upload, I share here too. All these songs I perform on my piano and recorded and edited myself. I try to write a description about the particular piece, but I don't have much to say. However, I'm open to suggestions. I always tag them in music and tarot and dragonage.

Hmm.... it's tough, there's definitely no right answer to getting more attention for your music. It's a combination of a few factors, any of which can be the missing link depending on your situation: (1) Quality of Music (2) Connections / Friendships / Collabs with other likeminded musicians / your "scene" (3) Your Story / do people connect with you as a person / content outside of music Maybe try to combine your more in-depth tarot posts WITH the music posts? Going for one super in-depth awesome post each day, like a combination of music AND deep tarot analysis, could be enough to get your stuff a bit more traction. Overall at a glance it looks like you're doing a lot of the work that you need to do. I'm impressed with your activity on steem. Keep striving to make your content even better, especially focus on formatting and making it look good on steemit specifically. One last tip - pay a LOT of attention to your post title, first sentence, and first photo. Those are the things that people see from the topic list, so that's what they use to decide if they'll click on you or not. That stuff is like 50% of the battle, lol

Cool, thanks. I had noticed about the image early on, like thumbnails on YouTube. I tend to make sure my first sentence is something that will entice readers, like a tag line, or jumps right into it. Your idea of combining some of the analysis elements with the music is one that inspires me. Since my thumbnails are all very similar for those songs, maybe I can put the image of the card, write up a piece of my analysis, like the portion that is the narrative description of the card where I analyse every symbol in it. That way, it's not too much test for those who don't want to read too much, but allows for readers to be enticed. And I can still include the full transcript in separate posts, which is the transcript of what I say about that card in my videos. Thank you for those tips, it got my ideas flowing. Sometimes we simply need to bounce ideas to find the best solutions ;)
