If your are like me you want to get the word out on your music. Here are a few ways you can do that.

Tip 1:

Put out Youtube videos all the time, with GOOD CONTENT. Do a series or something to keep new videos coming, and make descriptions that links back to your site. Create a blog as well and publish your music and efforts. Always bring something fresh to the table, and constantly evolve. One step further is to get your own website and do a full-on marketing plan for you business. Connect with your fans directly, and answer every comment.

Tip 2:

Pass out printed flyers to the local scene or current location you are in. Get out there and make it happen. If you sitting around thinking about how to get out there. Just stop what your doing and go make it happen. Literally “Get Out There”!

Tip 3:

Local recording studios have the people you need to be around to learn and network your way into studio sessions. Situations that arise by being in the right place and the right time are important in this business. They don’t happen often, but when they do, it is always in the studio. I can’t tell you how many times I have been at the right studio and the right time. It’s all about experience, so get in a studio and get some hands on experience. It is priceless. You never know who you will meet.

Tip 4:

Use Twitter correctly. It connects you to new people in your market if you use it right. Don’t just post dumb tweets. Use some cleverness, ask a question, interact with people. To get the most out of your efforts, use a search filter tool like HootSuite or TweetDeck. Monitor phrases and keywords in your nitch. For example, you could monitor the words “new music”, so when someone tweets “I want to listen to new music..” you will receive that tweet as an update and then you can reply to that person with a link to your music. They are looking for new music and you are providing it. It’s a win win and eliminates the spam aspect of internet marketing.

Tip 5:

Use email marketing to interact with your fans through a newsletter or some other type of update that they can follow. This usually goes right to their phone nowadays, and is the best way to retain fans.
