Online Music Promotion | Common Mistakes

Here are a few tips on what you shouldn't do in the beginning of your online music promotion ventures.

1. Pay for promotion

-most websites will charge you around $50,000 to put your banner or advertisement on their site for just a week.

As crazy as all of that sounds, I was actually going to pay for it. When you're starting out DO NOT spend thousands on top of thousands on this kind of stuff. That money will come later.

2. Buy hundreds of e-books because the more you buy, the more you won't want to read them.

-if you want to learn a Internet music promotion, buy one book at a time. It's nice to have an abundance of information however, the more piles of books you make the more you'll look at the stack and realize how much work it is to read all of them.

This causes your subconscious mind to become lazy and tired before you even begin.

3. Ignore your e-mails and messages from fans.

-why do people do this? Obviously, because they don't want to waste too much time on one fan so they just completely ignore all of them lol.

I'm not even going to get too deep into this, but, if a fan sends you a message explaining to you how much they like your music, that's your chance to take their enthusiasm and use it to market yourself.

Ask them if they wouldn't mind putting your banner, music, or even video on their web page.

Offer them a percentage of revenue for the sales they generate, and you just gave them a job and you've also made yourself more money.

Basically I learned a lot about online music promotion and here is a list of things you can do right now.

1. Check out TheAmazingMusicFormula.com because there is a TON of information you can learn there to help you

2. You can use Myxer.com to sell your ring tones on any webpage you want

3. You can use Soundstation to sell your albums on any website you want

4. Get your fans to put these ringtone and album stores on their page!!

If you're really serious about online music promotion, getting radio play, bringing buyers to your webpages instead of people that just want free music, go to TheAmazingMusicFormula.com.

No need to wait for books in the mail if the information is available right at your computer. I hope this information was helpful.
