Music Promoters on Their Way to Commencement & Best Practices


As far as my knowledge is concerned, website should be designed. For online music promotions a functional website is an absolute necessity before launching business. A list of services should be drawn. The types of services, company will offer online should be decided upon and a pricing method and an online network should be created. Two main components of online music promotions are music and audience. Company introduction and making contacts is a must. An introduction letter should be sent to each contact on the list of potential clients and fans. Client’s materials have to be collected. Upon receiving new clients, all digital versions of client’s videos, music, mp3s, photographs, reviews, events calendars and photos or descriptions of any applicable items of merchandise need to be requested. Music and videos should be added.

Let me be frank that every band has to be on MySpace unless they’re rebels, but putting together own YouTube channel, getting and using a Facebook fan page, signing up for ReverbNation and using their widgets, Twittering, posting pictures to Flickr … surely all that stuff cannot be done, but some of it should be done, and even more than one of it. For starting online music promotions, there are actually a lot of ways to do it. However, it is important that you have to be ready and well-prepared for everything. Keep in mind that even while starting online or in own little ways, it is important to think big.

Guidelines for Independent Internet Music Promotions


As far as my knowledge is concerned, music website should be kept on topic. How to promote your music to the online audience is a fairly simple process. Whilst background information in the Bio may be useful if targeting a certain type of fan and wanting them to feel an affinity, it is not helpful to post the latest updates on Swine Flu, or other non music related information on the website. Visitors will have probably found the website from another online source and are expecting it to deliver what they came there for the music, so it should be ensured the content of the bands website contains relevant information that serves the visitors expectations.

Let me be frank that there is nothing that turns off fans and potential sales than a misplaced ego. Whilst it’s important to be confident, getting high and mighty about how great the music is, when that dodgy vocal music haven't even mixed, mastered or fixed that makes to look silly period. It should be ensured that everything about the music really lives up to how it is presented online, otherwise the world will take the advice and just walk on by. Sites such as Nimbit, Website Music Player, Reverbnation shop widgets, or other online storefronts too should be tried out which could help drive sales. Because there is a need for online music promotions work, which is to be manageable and one need to be selective about the sites used, and at the top of the list should be the sites where people like the fans congregate.
