BIG BIG TIP: focus on the author you’re championing. Let us know who you are and share your links, but try not to make this an overt sales pitch for your page. I suspect that would backfire. If you can get subscriptions for yourself, great, but those who don’t subscribe to you right away—you want them leaving your article with positive thoughts about how you lifted up another artist. Those good vibes translate into subscriptions as they see you again in their feed. I’m not saying you won’t get subscriptions directly from this, but I am saying don’t push so hard for yourself that you leave a bad taste in the readers’ mouth.

I want this to benefit everyone, and if this continues, you may find yourself with a champion of your own.

Remember, the dates listed are suggestions, and publishing months aren’t guaranteed. You are welcome to submit earlier, I will publish earlier if there is an opportunity.
