The difference between your cover photo and profile photo is that your profile image reveals up in user's feeds, whereas your cover photo only exists on your Facebook page.

1. Put your tour dates front and center
Your timeline photo is a great location to show exactly what you're presently working on in a billboard-style image. If you're touring a new album, create a compelling background with fragments of your cover art, and sprawl your trip dates throughout in a tidy, readable style.
The secret is to make it aesthetically appealing with traces of your music connected into the design. Just having the dates will not be enough. When Los Angeles-based singer BANKS went on tour with The Weeknd, she took fragments of her London EP cover and developed a very little, branded cover photo with her tour dates spread across her signature monochromatic image. The outcome is her EP art work being extended into her tour promotions through her cover image.
2. Develop a collage.
The dimensions for of a cover image are perfect for producing a collage of your band's experiences and successes. When Sigur Ros launched their 2012 world trip, they utilized fan photos discovered on Instagram through their hashtag #sigurroslive and made a sensational collage of various shots from their live shows around the world.
Their cover image was especially innovative because it took fan art and exposed it to their around the world following. Other collage ideas could be all of your albums to date or images of the band on the roadway.
3. Incorporate your profile photo.
This is a popular trend, generally since it's creative and visually pleasing. Social network users produce a scene with their cover picture and utilize their profile image to link to the scene.
It could be your lead vocalist holding a microphone in the profile photo, and the mic stand and the rest of the band performing in your cover photo. The secret to this trick is a smooth connection. The colors ought to be the same, and the sizing ought to be specific. This might take a little trial and mistake, so be sure to develop it and check it out initially.
4. Have a call-to-action.
Your cover photo is an excellent location to ask your fans to engage with your music. Sam Smith utilized his cover photo to ask his fans to choose him at the 2015 Brit Awards. He utilized the picture from his launching album with a clear call-to-action for his fans to vote for the album. And obviously, he put the link in the description.
Like I said in the past, your cover photo resembles your own social networks billboard. Do you have something to ask of your fans? Develop an innovative style with minimal text, inquire through your cover picture, and always put more guidelines in the description.
5. Promote a hashtag.
Hashtags are the linking points we follow to engage with fans. If you're hosting a live-stream of your brand-new album, develop a hashtag for followers to use while they stream. They can tag their photos and listening experience. Your cover photo is a great place to motivate your follows to use a trending hashtag that pertains to your music.
Perhaps it's the title of your brand-new album or your band's name with 2015 attached. Either way, come up with a catchy hashtag that will bring brand-new individuals to your music, as well as enable you to see who your fans are and how they engage with your music.
6. Showcase your audience.
Your cover photo is a terrific place to showcase your audience. This is especially efficient if the image is from behind the stage, so the audience can see what you see while you're playing live. One Direction took a photo from behind the phase at an enormous arena program; the entire crowd was illuminated, and fans tagged themselves in the photo. Offer your fans an opportunity to tag themselves so they can document their memories through your cover photo.
Discover one of the best live pictures from behind the phase-- and even an image you took from the stage yourself-- and develop it to fit your cover picture's dimensions (851x315). Showcasing your audience and the enjoyment of your live show is always favorable.
