Top 10 Tips For Independent Music Artists To Promote Their Music

If you’re an independent music artist, any genre, and have desires to one day become famous and make tons of money and inherit the fame and popularity that comes with being a successful musician, take note:

1) Make a very good song. Many artists have built careers off of one hit song. It’s a realistic possibility. To be safe, make many songs in hopes that one catches on somewhere and gets you noticed.

2) Get your songs heard. You can submit your music to record labels, put them on MySpace pages, burn them on cd’s and sell them to the public, or solicit them to radio stations. Radio is very good because an audience of 1000’s can hear your masterpiece and maybe somehow influence the radio programmer to continue to spin your music.

3) Create a Facebook Fan Page. This is great for so many reasons because not only is Facebook the most popular social networking site but it puts you direct contact with your fans and has the ability to grow those fans at an enormous clip.

4) Create a static html page (personal webpage). This only needs to include a photo, a biography, and information about your music including sample mp3s and videos.

5) Create videos and post them on YouTube. You can easily lip sync or create some sort of slideshow with your audio behind it and place it on YouTube. This is also a great way to be seen in a performance point of view and a great way to gain more fans and subscribers.

6) Obviously create a MySpace page and upload your songs so that they play in a playlist as soon as a visitor comes across your page. This is a also a great tool because not only are you able to gain fans but there are good music business contacts residing on MySpace.

7) Get music websites, forums and blogs to post your music and provide reviews to their visitors. This is a good tactic because the sites have already created a following and trust with their visitors who are more likely to read whatever it is they suggest.

8) Create a Twitter account. Keep fans updated on what you’re doing and working on and invite their input.

9) Perform at as many clubs as you possibly can. Get your face and name out there. Interact with your fans, network with other musicians and industry heads, and possibly sell cd’s while you’re at it.

10) Use a Music Submission Service which will provide a bundle package which will hopefully provide all of the major services; web presence, airplay, social networking, and visibility. Urban Music 2000 Music Submission Service comes highly recommended.
