Marketing My Music

I know the title of this essay looks a tiny bit bizarre but stick with me and I am going to explain all. In this post you may learn the no1 way you can increase your fan base and build a successful music career…starting at the moment.

Once I stopped listening to Music selling Gurus who had not done anything in the music game and started to follow and learn ninja abilities from folk who were actually making millions of bucks online, everything became far easier.

Now all I am doing is copy what these blokes do to make so much cash then transfer it to my music.

So here they are , the top 2 things musicians can find out about promoting from the old school web marketers…

Free Traffic is Best.

For the music marketeer you truly want to be going after a free traffic model in your business. The cause of this is that most indie music artists are on a restricted budget and if you’re spending cash everyday on advertising you’ll doubtless go into Chapter 11.

The best way I know to get free traffic to your site is to post a video to YouTube everyday of your group covering a current chart hit. If you keep at this it’s warranted free traffic for life!

If you think your band is rubbish?

I find the reason lots of bands and artists fail to make any progress in their career is that they do not believe in their own music and think that there’s no way on earth that they could ever make it in the music business compared to other artists like lady Gaga and such.

But if you’re rubbish that’s's OK, just admit it becuase i have a secret sauce you can add to your music which will leave you ten times before most other artist if you just implement it every day.

The strategy goes like this….

So the simplest way to become great in music is to spend half an hour every day writing new stuff. I am going into the toilet with my iPhone and get the ideas down on tape without editing anything out. I just sing and play whatever on earth is in my head and set my iPhone timer to half and hour in order that I don’t have to keep consistently looking at my watch.

Doing this I have more songs than I know what to do with and after a month I am able to really notice that the quality of my music is so much better than when I started.

It’s cheesy but I think every great vocalist or guitar player started off being rubbish and because they practiced every day they where able to bring the standard of their stuff up to standard.

Last thoughts.

I could go on all day about these new music promoting tactics but I should finish this articles here. The main thing you need to take away from this is that you’ve got to become a student of promoting and work on your promotions every day.
