The holidays are near and we are the Black media now. The Black media revolution already manifested and this holiday season, we are going to create our own Black holiday media using the self-ecosystem and hyper-Blackness to create the most expansive and diverse Black holiday media offerings ever.

In this article, let’s discuss how to create a music album and a photo book for the holiday season. There are some awesome advantages such as promoting your artist for the holiday, expand on this project every holiday season, and recurring revenue and brand recognition every year.

We are going to cover how to create a holiday theme, music and photo book production, and to take to market.

Holiday Theme

The first thing to establish is the holiday theme we want to product holiday content. The most common theme is the season of giving. Other themes are celebrating Black love during a joyful time of the year. It is also the time for family and friends to gather.

New themes that we will be introducing is a man begging his baby momma to let him see his kids this holiday. Or the feminist lonely during the holiday and frustrated she don’t have a man. We do have a song on a Passport Bro going to spend his Christmas in Cartagena.

But let’s not forget to celebrate the birth of the newborn King, Santa Claus, Winter wonderland, and celebrating the season of joy.

Music Production

For Black holiday music, our production style is 1970s Philly sound, 1960s Detroit sound, 1990s Neosoul, Reggaeton, and FBA-Delineated Afrobeat.

We are going to make around 35-50 songs using both Suno and ElevenLabs Music, and recommend you make the same number of songs. This is to help you have a long stream of songs so you can create your own radio station or 35 days of singles to release from Thanksgiving to New Years.

Photo Book Production

The photo book should be a companion to the album and possible a printed coffee table book for your fans to set out during the holiday season.  It features your artist in holiday scenes to celebrate the season and be a keepsake.

Some of the themes we are using is ice skating at the rink, hanging out with reindeer sleigh, helping Santa and the elves since we can do fantasy with an AI character, decorating the holiday tree, and cooking pork chitterlings in the sink while wearing a bonnet.

Marketing the Holiday Media

There are plenty of ways to market your artist during the holiday season. One way is to create a chillhop-style video for YouTube and loop a scene of your artist signing holiday cards like the photo above. Then you can provide a link to the photo book and album to purchase.

You can also promote your holiday media on social media by having video snippets of your artist telling everybody happy holidays while they are skating, having a snowball fight, shopping at the mall, and so on. Have them act out real-world experiences or they can hang out in the North Pole with polar bears wearing holiday scarves.

Other ways are to promote on a streaming music platform as a podcast and play on demand. This allows people to play the music during Thanksgiving dinner and during holiday parties.

Monetization and Selling

We recommend due to the short notice is to simply create a web site for your AI artist and sell the holiday media from your web site. You create a link to your web site and they can purchase a download package of the album and photobook as two separate downloads.

Another option is to stream the music from your web site and view the photo book as a photo gallery on the web site as a 30-day subscription price.

This is a beautiful opportunity because you can create your own interpretation of Black holiday music based on your self-ecosystem. That allow us to enjoy unique Black media during the holidays and don’t have to listen to the same set of songs as before. And you can make money during this season with your artist and promote them to gather more fans for the regular music.
