Music Fans And The Internet Converge And Flourish

By admin on June 30, 2010

Virtually all established music artists maintain web sites – or their record company does it for them. Some use them as a personal connection for fans, by providing periodic blog entries. It’s a tool to sell a few CDs from past years, announce show dates and provide some connection for the fans. There are also hardcore fan sites, especially for veteran bands like the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, who have assembled twenty five or thirty years worth of fans. True also for musicians who have been gone for a long time; you can find many sites for Elvis and others for ground breaking rockers like Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly.

Many of the newer acts maintain web sites, but virtually all of the emerging musicians who are aggressive use multiple resources on the web. The biggest online phenomenon in the music business has been the emergence of MySpace and, to a lesser extent, other social networking sites such as Pandora and Pure Volume. For some bands, MySpace has supplanted the need for a personal website.

By the end of 2005 more than 600,000 bands were using MySpace to upload songs and videos, announce shows, promote albums and interact with fans. The reason? There are 50 million potential fans on MySpace, and many of them use the site to search for new music as well as established acts. MySpace has acted on the remarkable marriage of music, listeners and their web site by starting a record label.  Read more...

How To Get More Plays On Your Music Site To Get Noticed By Record labels And Get More Fans

By admin on June 24, 2010

Already on MySpace? Want to get more plays on your songs and rise to the top of the charts? Want to get your music heard by important record label executives and hundreds and possibly millions of people all over? In order to get more plays on your songs on your MySpace music site, you have to do a few things. Just like the top artists at the major record labels, running a consistent promotional campaign is key.


To be successful, you’ll have to maintain consistency to be sure your music gets attention, stands out, gets you the maximum number of listens, and reaches the most people in your MySpace fan base. Most importantly, you have to make sure that anyone who comes to your MySpace music page is listening to your music and telling their friends to come to your page to listen to your music. This shows those big music executives that your music is worth listening to, and that millions of people everywhere are doing just that — listening to it.


To keep new fans coming in on a regular basis, you’ll need to make sure that you are uploading different songs regularly. Keep updating your blog with stories about your music and funny or outrageous adventures, and keep rotating the profile picture on your MySpace music site. It’s something different that is going to get your page noticed over the rest of the musicians out there. Something new will have your fans returning to your page to read your band updates, look at your recently updated pictures, and tell their friends about your most recent awards, tour dates, or concert venues. Don’t be afraid to promote, promote, promote yourself to radio stations, news stations, and other media outlets like magazines or morning shows to get your sound heard. Let them know about how many plays and Views you are getting.  Read more...
