Promote Your Music - Use The Real World

Add comment October 25th, 2006

I know quite a few musicians who promote their website and they promote their music in the real world. The trouble is that they like to keep the two completely separate!

Your site is a great way to promote your music on the Net but it is also a great way to keep in contact with people you meet at gigs etc. You should always mention your site when talking to people. You should always have your site address on your CDs, business cards, flyers or any other promotional material you have.

Once you have those new people visit your site you should always try to get them to sign up for yourВ  email list. That’s the best way to keep in contact. Getting them there in the first place is the hard part, don’t throw away you good work by letting them just leave and forget about you.

Use the real world to keep make contact and use your site/email list to keep it.

Independent Music - Keep It That Way

1 comment October 23rd, 2006

Since the dawn of the modern music industry, there has never been a better time to be an independent Artist. A few years ago there was a lot of hype about mp3 and how democratic music was becoming.

Looking back on it now, there is no doubt about the fact that mp3 caused a revolution but in its first few years that was more for the listener than for the bands and Artists. The Internet is still in its infancy and who knows what sort of digital revolutions lay in wait.

For now, the first really important one is happening. The average surfer is becoming very comfortable with using their credit card online so whether it be CDs, downloads or anything else, the potential customers really do exist in large numbers now!
