Shamelessly Promote Your Music

Using a music promotion website can help you digitally distribute your music.


Promoting your music requires a good deal of networking with other artists and developing a list of contacts and fans who consistently listen to your music. Every artist needs to starts somewhere, and networking online can make promoting your music a bit easier. Building connections with other artists can be a way to spread your name across the Internet in the musical community, thus bringing you new followers and fans as well as possible label opportunities.


Instructions


1. Create an artist profile on a music promotion site such as Myspace, Facebook, ReverbNation or SoundCloud. Simply sign up and fill out information such as band name, location and genre.


2. Upload your music files to the site by using the uploading tool. Each site will have a clearly marked uploading tool.


3. Follow other artists and begin making friends with whom to share your work. Musical exposure is all about networking with other people who share your interests. Engaging with others can help get your name out there.


4. Copy the links to your songs and send them to family and friends by email or through social networks.


5. Send your music to blogs in the form of a polite message. Most music promotion sites have groups or artist pages for blogs eager to promote new and upcoming artists.


6. Send your music to labels in the form of a polite message. Most music promotion sites have groups or artist pages for labels, and many are looking for new artists.


7. Perform live at social or school events. Doing so lets people hear your music and actually interact with you as an artist.
