Multiply Your Fanbase with Social Networking and Web 2.0
The world of online independent music marketing is getting more confusing every day. Sometimes it's difficult for busy independent artists to quickly learn the tools and tricks that will help them reach new fans and industry contacts and keep in touch with their current fanbase.
My name is Max Lowe, and I've just published a brand new eBook about promoting your music online.
Back to Basics
Whether you're new to the MySpace phenomenon or you're disappointed with your profile's success so far and looking to focus on making a mark, I'll show you how to set up your MySpace profile properly with all the most important information. We'll make making friends a snap and help you understand how to network within the MySpace community. I'll tell you how you can make sure you're seen and heard on MySpace and help you use comments and bulletins to get the message out and promote shows, albums and tours. We'll talk about where MySpace fits into your overall promotion strategy and give you a quick crash course in avoiding spam and how make sure you're being polite to your friends.
Marketing Music Online
Once you get the basics and more under your belt we'll go beyond MySpace to use other social networks, blogging, groups and forums, viral marketing, YouTube Flickr, Squidoo, social bookmarking, widgets, and Technorati to promote your profile and your music.
I'll even let you in on the secrets major artists use to keep up with their thousands of friend requests and still keep growing.
The Secret to Success on MySpace
Finally, we'll discuss the future of social network marketing so that you can understand and explain why you MUST become skilled at promoting through MySpace, other social networks and other Web 2.0 services TODAY or risk being left behind in the next evolution of the internet.
