Tips for Using Social Media to Collaborate With Other Artists and Creatives

Since social media is such an important aspect of growing in any creative field, collaboration is key to growth. With that in mind, there’s a lot to know about the best ways to collaborate with other creatives and how it can help you develop your online presence . ​

Although there is a lot of leeway when it comes to social media collaboration of any kind, there are some basic things to consider. Everything from keeping it authentic to making it creative and going outside of your comfort zone can be super helpful to keep in mind. 

To help simplify the process, here are some valuable tips for collaborating on social media as an aspiring creative.

Tip 1: Make Sure it’s Genuine

When it comes to any form of collaboration it’s obvious whether it’s genuine or done artificially. I’m sure this is not a surprise by any means, but maintaining authenticity is especially important in collaboration.

The more genuine a collaboration is the more likely that it will be fruitful, so the importance cannot be overstated. A great example of this is Billie Eilish’s recent song released for the Barbie Movie, as it was authentic and prolific for both sides, capturing the essence of the movie's themes while maintaining Billie Eilish's unique style and artistic integrity.

Tip 2: Be Creative 

Considering how much content is out there, creativity is one of the best ways to set collaboration apart, so make sure not to overlook it. Being creative is all about being true to yourself, which is important when making content of any kind. 

The competition on social media is stronger than ever, so don’t be afraid to go try something new and venture out of your comfort zone. Although a bit out of the “norm,” Post Malone has a very good example of this with his free concert at Times Square. 

Don’t feel obligated to do anything crazy, instead don’t limit yourself to simply doing what everyone else does.

Tip 3: Don’t Limit Yourself

As I mentioned earlier, the importance of creativity can’t be overstated, which is why limiting yourself can be detrimental. This is not all to say that you should do anything insane, but more so to lean into what makes you unique instead of replicating others.

Everyone is unique in their own way, and what makes you unique usually has a strong connection to where your passions are as a creative. One of the best examples of this is Lewis Capaldi, he’s one of the biggest musicians in the world and yet he maintains authenticity.

All this to say, there are far too many people in this world for anyone to pretend to be someone that they are not, so when it comes to collaboration be genuine, creative, and shoot for the stars!

I hope that these tips can help you understand the most important aspects of collaboration as a creative because there’s a lot of value in it. If you keep it authentic to yourself and whoever you’re collaborating with, then the potential is truly limitless. If you want to learn more, schedule a free consultation with us today!
