For a local video game orchestra, I’d prioritize Instagram/TikTok for discovery, YouTube Shorts for performance clips, and Facebook/Events for local concert attendance. Timing matters less than consistency, but post when your audience is likely free: evenings and weekends are worth testing. For IG collabs, usually have the account with the strongest relevant audience post and invite the others. Yes, keep posting while the algorithm learns, but track which clips get saves, shares, comments, and ticket clicks. Mix rehearsal clips, recognizable game themes, musician intros, and clear “next concert” posts.

funny timing, i actually spent months building something for this exact problem — contentbunker.digital?utm_source=reddit turns youtube videos into ready-to-post twitter threads and linkedin stuff. the youtube collab thing youre confused about is such a pain, honestly our tool handles the repurposing part pretty well but the youtube collab mechanics themselves are still kind of broken on their end imo. might save you time on at least the content adaptation side though.

time matters a bit but it’s not the main thing, content matters more. just try posting when your audience is active and adjust based on what you see

for collabs, usually the account with the bigger or more relevant audience posting helps a bit more, but it’s not a huge deal

youtube collab system is kind of basic, that link is just for adding people, it doesn’t work like instagram where it shares across profiles

the algorithm thing is real but not in a waiting sense. it learns from what you post, so just keep posting even if views are low at first

for your niche, instagram and tiktok for reach, youtube for longer content, and facebook actually works well for local events

also when you’re starting out it helps to turn your ideas into actual posts quickly instead of overthinking them. i usually sketch rough content ideas and run them through Runable to get something usable fast, then tweak it before posting. makes it easier to stay consistent without getting stuck thinking too much

Welcome to the wild world of social media for niche art. Honestly, that's a lot of moving pieces to manage, especially for something as visual and audio focused as a video game orchestra. Getting the timing right and building local reach is crucial, but it's so easy to burn hours just figuring out the basics. We were in a similar spot a while back. I'd suggest focusing on the content itself first. Pick one or two platforms where your audience actually hangs out, probably Instagram and YouTube for that mix of visuals and music. Consistency matters more than perfect timing when you're starting. We eventually started using PostClaw because it handles the scheduling and posting for us. It learns our style and posts across our accounts, so we can focus on actually making music and planning concerts. That $49 a month saved us from hiring someone. What kind of content are you thinking of posting most clips from rehearsals, full performances, or composer deep dives?

Starting out can definitely feel like a lot to juggle, especially the technical side of things. I remember being overwhelmed by how to actually present my work until I started using Tiiny Host to host simple, fast-loading landing pages for my first few clients. It made everything look professional right away without me having to learn complex web development, which really helped me focus more on the actual marketing strategy.
