For music out, there are various ways to get your music heard. Some are the free ways or on the internet, one of the biggest places and easiest way to get your music across to people. MySpace, is an example, another great way. You are not charge to create an account or upload your music to your page.
All your friends can hear it and you gain fans. Side note, it is best to have someone good with HTML and encoding to help create your MySpace page. It makes it look more attractive and more official, that is true. My MySpace page has absolutely, just plain old, boring design on it. That is why I do not have any fan, I do not have any friends on MySpace.
I think I am the only person that have two friends on MySpace, even Tom would not add me as a friend on MySpace. I think I am the only person Tom has not befriended. Another great way iTunesm it might cost you if you upload officially, as in not a podcast, but you might be able to earn some money of it.
Another way that recently started is snowcap, it runs by MySpace and it does for your credit card but it does not charge. It is not the safest way to earn and learn the value of $0.99.00 per song, if you are not good with computers or anyone in your bans is, you can always burn your CD and make copies at work, school, street, garage sale or even your electronics and music shops.
There are many other ways, but preferably, it is the internet. Then again, with the internet, you do have to be careful about people stealing your music. It is very easy for some random guy to look you up and take the music and sell it himself, that is true. Again, if you are looking to market, your bands, Whitney rather have people stealing your music than not listening to it at all.
I am not advocating stealing; you know my stance on that. You can watch my videos on veracity subscriber. I am paying as much as I needed to pay to play by the system. So, I would be interested in talking to you guys a little further about that, how everybody uses the internet to market there music.
Step number four shows your venues. After you get noticed, you might get out for some local bars, you come at night, if you do not, it is not that enough people will just hear you or know you. It could be for a variety of reasons, maybe just having practice enough. Once again, there are many ways to get shows and earn $30.00 and all the beer you can drink.
This is created by a 13-year-old. Aleck, I do not think he leaves in the US. If so, I have to talk to his parent or guardian. If you want your shows, you are going to impress whoever you are going to play at. Not to mention, if you are good enough, they might refer you to other bars or places.
If your band buddies have a dad or dad’s friend that owns or works at a bar, then tell them. Most likely, they will have you come and play and earn some fans. Even if you offered a show and no money, it is still a good way to earn a good fan mates with the good fan bass you offered, eventually offered money because the fans and usual want to here some good music they enjoy and they tell people to come and see you.
Another way is to have your music scent to record label. They might pick you up and listen to it or just throw it in the trash, but send to a bunch or record labels. You may have a better chance to get heard, then if you just sent to one record label. Did the record label like what they hear?
They might give you a small contract, redefined print, to see what you are getting out of the deal. I just keep going to this, the idealistic way to this works, they book and show you perform and get paid, not a very simple process but some to read up for more detail if interested.
I think record labels are going to change what they do in this entire equation. I do not know if they are as important as they once were. You have a better chance of getting scene and pushing your own stuff out on the internet, then you go to anybody else and of course when it comes to contracts, you got to talk to a lawyer. You cannot just redefine print yourself and assume you got everything. Lawyers are expensive but what more expensive is getting caught in a deal that you are not sure off.
Step number five, here comes the bottom line in marketing. It is complex but it is simple if you think about it throughout this steps. He was given ways to market music but once you have a better, pretty fan base, at least a thousand people, it is time to decide whether you want a market products.
There are very simple ways to do this online including products for the band. We have talked about Sazle before. There is also CafePress, you can also get a mini store to post your bands web page. They are very common thing to do now a day. That is where you are likely to make some money too. Selling tissue and selling accessories. It is a little tricky because anybody could sell an accessory with your logo on it.
You have to figure out where do your hook is, where is it original, how can you prove that, what you got is original and that maybe comes down to trade mark or copyright and making sure that your fans are supporting you, not necessarily somebody else is taking your image in running with it.
So most of your time if you are with the company in a major ordeal with them. They will send a crew out to your show and sell your marketing stuff. You will get a variety and some extra cash on the side.
