EVER WONDERED WHY SOME GOSPEL MUSICIANS IN SOME BIG CHURCHES OR MINISTRIES GETS WIDE PUBLICITY AND ALSO MAKE IT BIG?
One of the reasons among several others is what I call THE POWER OF UNITY. From personal discovery via social media, If Sinach releases a song today, Frank Edward,Joe Praise,Eben and Ada just to mention but a few will all share the song on their social media and other platforms thereby making her to reach thousands and millions of people even before spending any dime on publicity. Which means if you know any of the Ministers and follow them up then you must know the rest. Don't get it wrong because promoting one another hasn't stopped them from shinning and making it big and the truth is, helping someone achieve his or her goals will not stop you from achieving yours.
We must put selfishness aside as gospel music ministers and help one another.
There are so many other gospel singers I only got to know about because some big music ministers I followed on social media shared their works on their sites, spoke or wrote about them.
You may be very anointed and your songs can be very good and anointed as well but the truth is you still need people to help you spread the message.
DO THE CLEVER MATHS OF UNITY PROMOTION
Let's assume you're working cordially with about ten music ministers in your Church or locality and all of you own a facebook account of 1000 friends each and any of you wish to promote a song one single individual can only reach 1000 friends immediately except if it's through paid ads but if all of you share it on your profiles as a way of helping a colleague, about ten thousand 10,000 people will be reached immediately without spending any money on paid advert and any like,comment or sharing by friends would increase the number of people reached. Now if this is achieved on facebook alone then imagine what will happen if it is also done on other platforms like YouTube,Instagram and Twitter etc. Those gospel musicians may also invite one another when they have concerts and other important functions thereby exposing one another to a larger audience and fans which is also a great plus in the music industry.
Now, is this not better than working alone and claiming local champion or even better than some paid adverts? No wonder the bible says one shall chase a thousand and two shall chase ten thousand.
If you're a gospel minister reading this and wish to partner with me on such please add me on FB on www.facebook.com/Chukwunedum.dafe after all no nobody rejects good things

WHY YOU NEED TO REACH A WIDER AUDIENCE.
The more people you reach the more you get the gospel across and win more souls or raise true worshippers for God and the truth is that you can't reach everyone alone no matter how connected anointed and wealthy you are. Paid adverts and publicity will only go as far as the organizers can reach. It's possible for DSTV, SAMSUNG, CNN, APPLE and other big names to run adverts without you knowing except someone brought it to your knowledge.

YOUR BENEFITS AND GAIN
Everyone reached may not buy your music immediately but then must have been able to reach out to them and gain some recognition as well as minister to them in one way or the other.
Your name may possibly not be a household name yet but at least you will not be a minor or totally unpopular.
If you google some artist names on the net right now you may not get any tangible result apart from their profiles on facebook or few social medias they belong to and that was my own case before 2016. Now, you probably may not have known or heard of Fidelis C.Dafe before now or any of his works like THANK YOU LORD or LOVE IS THE WAY but you can't google or search the net right now for Fidelis C.Dafe without getting several details and how to get his songs on several sites where either free or paid downloads or streaming is done.
These few achievements and still counting was made between 2016 and 2018 and I'm yet to spend any big money on any paid publicity apart the few radio stations that aired the songs in 2017 and about #13,000 I spent in putting my songs on two sites for easy download.

MY GAIN AND BENEFITS
I've been able to reach people I don't even know at places I've not been to. I got a message on my Facebook in 2017 from a lady who says she's from Malaysia telling me she loves one of my songs So Much-Fidelis C.Dafe Ft.James Ben that she wish to teach her Church Choir but wanted to know the meaning of some words on the song lyrics like Mowadupe Olorun mi.
I also got a mail that same year from someone whom I believed might be from China asking for my permissions to use my songs to post items on YouTube which I granted and he used Thank You Lord and Lord I Bow .
Now, I've not met them personally or made any money from side but I'm glad the message is spreading which should be the first goal of any true music minister. Now, think many others like that.

MORE BENEFITS STILL COUNTING
As I write,right now I've got few unique regular listeners in few States in USA like
California via online music digital stores like Spotify and apple music the last time I checked one of the music apps and more people will definitely join as time goes on not forgetting several others in some other countries and this will continue as long as I remain on those digital stores and this has also left some cents and dollars dropping on the accounts till they are eventually matured for withdrawals.

WHEN I EVENTUALLY DECIDE TO GO BIG ?
The little achievements above would be of additional advantage when I'm ready to go big by spending a good amount of money on publicities,marketing and tours as well as putting my songs on big sites and shooting musical videos.

WHAT MORE ?
Work with other music ministers in your own locality, share ideas and resources together if possible to help one another. Some people are so selfish that they can't even give a minute to another music minister in their own organized concerts or Church programs not to talk about featuring others in their songs.
Some other people may not even honour invitations if offered on for some reasons best known to them.
Please don't belong to such class and you can as well separate yourself from them if you are one.
Join or create groups on your social media and work with other gospel artists. Sharing ideas and resources would go a long way in helping you gain a better musical career and experiences.
