Five Ways to Promote Music on MySpace by: Ty Cohen If
you are just starting out in the music business, the word
budget probably doesn’t even apply to you. If there were
money coming in, then maybe a budget would be feasible,
but since there is not, you have to find a way to change
this. Luckily, MySpace
music exists. Bands have literally gone from zero
income from sales and shows to booking gigs all over the
country and selling CD’s like crazy. All from checking
out what MySpace
for musicians is really all about. Over the next few
minutes, the top five ways to promote your music on MySpace
will be explored and defined. Hopefully, this will give
you the information and boost you need to skyrocket your
career. And MySpace
music is where you need to start. First and absolutely
foremost, you need to create an artist page on MySpace
music. On this page, you need to include a killer
headline to grab people’s attention. Properly fill out
every section including your influences and what your
music sounds like. Be honest yet original. Add a killer
default photo and as many photos of the band or yourself
as possible. Finally, find some awesome codes that make
your MySpace
for musicians profile page fit your style. Secondly,
start building a massive, yet relevant friends list. Start
adding people in your local area that have similar musical
interests, hobbies, likes or other important matching
keywords. Slowly build outside your immediate area and
work throughout the country from there. If your goal is
to reach the world then do it! Thirdly, you have your
MySpace bulletins. You will quickly realize just how powerful
bulletins on MySpace
for bands are. Be effective and add an interesting,
eye-catching title. Post bulletins with relevant information
as often as possible. You want to stay fresh in the minds
of your fans. Next, create a MySpace
music group and invite people to subscribe to your
blog. This is a great way to attain fans and keep in close
contact with the ones you already have. Blog daily and
never fall behind or people will stop coming back for
more. Lastly, network with other bands! Take full advantage
of MySpace
for bands and other musicians. Meeting new people,
cross-promoting and networking is one of the best ways
to market yourself on MySpace
music. The more people you meet, the more connections
you have. And the more connections you have, the more
opportunities you will receive to book gigs, sell music
and hopefully get signed, if that is one of your goals.
