rap is the music produces Kerensky and
Curtis keen beats dot-com and today we
need to talk about this brand new IG
update called IG TV that allows you as
rappers and producers and everybody to
upload videos that are long within one
minute
almost up to 10 minutes let's talk about
it rap is the music producers it's very
important especially if you are
promoting your music to your social
media that you keep up to date with new
features you want to make sure that
you're one of the first ones that take
advantage of it when they drop one of
those features being IG TV which is an
extension of Instagram now you guys know
besides YouTube I use IG pretty
frequently I use it to bring in a new
audience I use it to drive traffic to my
beats tour to my music as an artist so
that being said you know that I'm gonna
always look for the updates and see if
there's something that I can take
full-on advantage of and this is
definitely a platform that I'm going to
have fun with IG TVs rather interesting
and once you see this walkthrough then
I'm gonna take you through you're gonna
realize just how much you can go ahead
and take advantage of if you decide to
jump on it right now so let's go ahead
and do a quick walkthrough let's go to
the cell phone okay so the way that I
GTV works is pretty simple as you can
see I've already updated judging by that
particular icon that's in the corner
that's the IG TV icon now if you don't
see on your Instagram what you want to
do is go over to your apps if you're
using an Android of course that's gonna
be your Google Play now once you type in
Instagram like I already did here you'll
see an option that says update now I
already updated mine so obviously I'm
not gonna do that again but once you do
that go ahead and click open once you
click open you're gonna go ahead and see
this icon up here in the corner click on
it and you were going to access I G TV
now I took the initiative of actually
getting their app that they have that's
separate from Instagram although it's
still linked to your Instagram and
basically access that you download it
and open it up and once you open up the
app you'll pretty much see that it has
the same options that you can find right
there within your Instagram but it's
good to know there's another app for it
in case you want to use it and access it
from there so we're gonna go back to
Instagram once you're back in Instagram
once again you're gonna see that icon
you click
on it and then you can go ahead and
browse through some suggested content
that instagrams suggest for you the next
one is people that you're following
people that you're following on the
Instagram whoever posts a video within
their particular channel because you
have to create an actual channel
quote/unquote channel for your Instagram
in order to have access to the IG TV
features the next tab there's a popular
tab obviously using Kim Kardashian and
anybody else who has a gazillion
followers and the next option is to
continue watching so that you can watch
the videos that you pretty much left off
from your last session now in order to
upload a video super easy click here on
your icon then click on this plus button
now I already made a video that
specifically for this format and when I
say specifically what I mean is that you
must make sure that it's a vertical
video now on Instagram obviously you can
look inside the stories and see that it
has its own size the size being 1080p by
920 so basically you're just flipping
the landscapes Asya video now already
prepared a video specifically for this
example once you go ahead and select
your video you can put a title in will
put welcome video we can put a
description and then once you complete
that you have the option to make this
particular post visible on your Facebook
page we're not gonna do that here so
we're just gonna go ahead and post this
specifically on our Instagram so as you
can see that video is 126 you can go
ahead and play that and preview it so as
you can see we uploaded a video for
longer than a minute they'll allow you
to basically have between 1 minute and
10 minutes of video that you can upload
now from there I'm sure that there's
other tiers that they have created for
people who have a larger amount of
followers and you'll be able to upload
eventually one hour of content but for
right now this is definitely something
that you want to look into is something
that I'm definitely gonna take advantage
of and kind of repurpose my YouTube
material specifically on Instagram so
rappers and producers as you can see
it's super easy to set up you don't have
to use the other app that comes along
with it you can use it straight from
your Instagram what do I suggest when
you first get on there just do a welcome
video do something that's a little bit
different rappers and producers your
audience know that you rap and that you
make beats let's not use this extra
platform to push down the same content
down the same channel when you have a
new feature like this that pops up you
have an opportunity to break up
pattern and show people another side of
you as you can see from that video that
I just uploaded is just basically me
being a goofball me just being funny and
welcoming so people want to watch more
of my videos and I suggest you do the
same thing I don't even think that you
need to necessarily take advantage of
the 10 minutes out the gate I think it's
important that you do a quick little
message something that's what they're
used to and then gradually extend the
time of your video over time it's gonna
be very important that you start making
sure that your videos are vertical for
this sizing on the cellphone and make
sure their HD once again that is 1080 by
1920 it's the flip of a landscape and
make sure you're posting things that are
actually interesting that could make
somebody want to stay on their phone for
that long watching your videos also too
just like in any social media be
engaging watch other people's videos see
how they utilize it definitely go follow
somebody like a Gary Vee cuz you know he
bought to make that platform his b2 cuz
he don't play around he's always
beasting like that but I think you
should definitely go follow some folks
that are utilizing it in very creative
ways but take advantage of this right
now
don't wait four months from now so the
only users clunky beautiful don't be
that person be the person that takes
advantage of it fails right now and then
becomes a leader within that platform
just simply because you were one of the
first ones to use it so my friends
definitely enjoy yourself and please go
