Social Music: 5 Essential Tools for Marketing Your Band
The Social Music series is supported by BLive Share, a platform for online music sharing and host of the Groove Armada mini album.
Up until this point in our Social Music series we’ve focused on the fans, providing you with the top recommendation services, best free iPhone apps, the best places to build a playlist and find concerts, and a showdown between Last.fm and Slacker. Now we want to share the music love with musicians, artists, and bands looking to explore social media as a way to promote their work and connect with their fanbase.
Besides the obvious sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, musicians should leverage the opportunities available to them via the sites listed here. We’ve found five amazing sites offering better self-promotion opportunities, meaningful ways to connect with fans, more ways to avoid starving for your art, and resources to help book more gigs.
