Music Promotion In A World Where Myspace Interest Is Dwindling
Promoting your band has never been an easy job but the arrival of myspace a few years ago made things a lot easier. Being able to select people to add to your bands page, being able to message them or write on their bulletin board meant that we could promote music like never before. Unfortunately, it seems the time when people went to myspace to find new music is now coming to end.
Its not necessarily because people don’t want to find your band on there any more, its partly to do with the functionality of the search being drastically reduced. So what do we need to do to get our music heard in the current climate?
Twitter and Facebook have recently become the new myspace for getting the word out to masses of people at once but how much time do we have to work on each and make sure we have the people on there that matter?
It seems that 1 website in particular is starting to address these problems. www.musicfinity.com offers free and paid accounts to users but instead of waiting for people to find your page actively promotes it through networks and direct mail. This means your music gets out to a completely new crowd.
This site does more than that though, it gives you all the tools to be able to manage your band online. They source gigs for your band and give you the means to send your music to labels and publishers through the site.
There is even an affiliate scheme which means you can earn recording time for each fan you get to sign up and for each transaction you make on the site.
Is this the new way to take your music forward? Only time will tell but with the business statement that they want to ‘help bands and artists realise their vision and make a living from their music’, maybe it is.
You can sign your band up for free at www.musicfinity.net. www.musicfinity.com.
