Platinum country artist Aaron Goodvin is creating A World for Good

Canadian country artist Aaron Goodvin has launched a campaign to raise money and awareness for six charities in partnership with A World For Good – a new online platform that lets artists engage and involve fans in their giving decisions. The Warner Music Canada and Reviver Records artist has selected charities related to causes that have impacted his life, and is asking his fans to vote for their favorite of the six non-profit organizations.

A World For Good is a platform that allows fans’ to determine how funds get distributed. When voting, a fan can also purchase an exclusive t-shirt saying Together we can make a world for good and featuring Aaron’s signature, with a portion of the proceeds going to the specific charity they have voted for. Fan votes determine the percentage of funds and time that Aaron will be giving to each charity in the coming year.

The six charities are: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, World Vision, MS Society of Canada, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, and Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. Aaron’s participation is the first time a music artist has participated in an A World For Good campaign. Aaron reflected on his involvement saying, “So many exciting things have been happening for me in my career. Because of that I have been looking for ways to help those who are facing challenges right now. A World For Good is a great way to do that and involve my fans who make it all happen for me. I hope that other artists will follow our lead.” Aaron’s A World For Good campaign can be seen at www.aworldforgood.com/a/aarongoodvin

Alberta native Aaron Goodvin has had an exciting year in Canada with four Top 10 singles, an extensive touring schedule, and a recent CCMA win for Songwriter of the Year for his platinum selling single “Lonely Drum,” the only platinum selling country single in Canada released in 2017 or 2018. Aaron’s sophomore album is scheduled for release in Canada on Warner Music Canada, and in the US and worldwide on Reviver Records in February and features his current Canadian single and fourth consecutive Top 10 hit “You Are.”

A World For Good is an online audience engagement and empowerment platform that lets celebrities support the causes their fans care about. This strengthens relationships between celebrities and their fans, and increases revenue opportunities and charitable activity.

Queen’s Iconic “Bohemian Rhapsody” Becomes The Most-Streamed Song From The 20th Century

“Bohemian Rhapsody”, the iconic single by British rock legends Queen, has officially become the world’s most-streamed song from the 20th Century, as well as the most-streamed Classic Rock song of all time. UMG’s teams around the world have actively promoted discovery across streaming platforms, physical reissues, merchandise and experiential programs to introduce “Bohemian Rhapsody” to new fans more than 40 years after it was first recorded. Today, the original song and official video for “Bohemian Rhapsody”, taken from Queen’s seminal 1975 album A Night At The Opera, surpassed 1.6 billion streams globally across all major streaming services.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is regularly cited as one of the greatest songs ever recorded. In 2004, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and Freddie Mercury’s vocal performance was named by the readers of Rolling Stone magazine as the best in rock history.

The instantly recognizable anthem also has been buoyed by the success of the biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody, which tells the incredible story of the band’s storied career. In just five weeks on release the film has become the highest grossing music biopic in history.

In a technology and social media-driven lifestyle today, it is natural to rarely find people with no social media accounts. There is at least a Tom, Dick and Harry who have their social media accounts on any one of the long lists of social apps in existence today thanks to the smart gadgets. Even businesses have begun to maintain their pages on all forms of social media, the most common being Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, YouTube etc. Even celebrities across the globe make use of the social media platform to interact with their fans.

In that process comes the question of maintaining a separate page. The more popular the celebrity is, the more is a requirement to maintain a page. Most countries have a celebrity-crazy fandom culture in existence today. So how do you increase your fan page followers and reach a wider audience?

Facebook Ads

The simplest of all methods as it mostly involves running advertisements consistently against your target audience. However, it involves quite some amount of money to boost your fan page. If not, the best alternative would be the organic growth. Using Facebook Ads can bring out several advantages. It is one of the fastest ways to increase the traffic to your page, is quite measurable and can also increase your customer attribution rate.

Organic Growth

This method involves reaching out to your audience without using any paid method. Be it any inspirational images, humorous and engaging content that the audience can relate to. That is a ‘slow and steady step’ to build your fanbase. How much ever large the fanbase is, unless there’s some engaging content, no one’s ever going to respond to the posts. So, in short, the three main fundamentals of organic growth on Facebook include:

Consistency
Knowledge
Authenticity

Build your authority on the FB page by attracting the right audience on to your fan page. It would not be much of a Herculean task, given it’s a celebrity fan page. Hence not much influencing work is required.

Analysing your audience could also help to build a target persona specifically for the social media account. Each social media account tends to have a different kind of audience. Like, say, what is applicable to Facebook may not apply to Twitter or Instagram. Having a strong posting strategy could also help. It can comprise a mix of the following steps-

Posting often to engage with your audience
Variety of content is a must (try to include more photos, links to the blog posts)
Mixing up your content combination
Also including images that are viral on the social platform could also help
