I love using Soundcloud to discover new music and also promote my own music as well. Discovering music has been a pleasant surprise to me. I have been lucky to find some gems in the rough and started to realize why I like it so much: It’s all about the music. Use this platform with tact and engage. I enjoy how music is the focal point, followed by comments and your interaction. It definitely has a Twitter feel to it with its news feed, but its refreshing that its not spammy, just music you follow and/or people you get to know. The 3 articles I found definitely stress the fundamentals, as well as encouraging a behavior that contributes to audience expansion, not marketing noise.

Don’t worry, I am not asking you to buy anything. What I could use is a little social help. Would you mind doing some of these things to make our site visible, we appreciate you taking the time to read this and help.
Managing multiple projects became a crazy task to deal with. I was launching other sites with friends and customers and having good success with helping them establish their presence online. When times got busy, some personal projects got neglected due to just organization and I knew that is not what really represented me.
While grinding it out in the lab on my endless quest of effective music promotion, Hip Hop Distribution’s identity came alive. The title of this article is the new tag line for this project: Online marketing for blogging musicians. This is a defining step for me since it has a centralized focus on my mission as a blogging musician.
While working with new bands recently, I’ve encountered the same question over and over again: I want to get started on my music promotion, I don’t have a website but I want to get started making online sales. I’m not a blogger but I want to spread the word, what do you reccomend?
The interesting part to this question is that each band or artist was involved in completely different scenarios. Some bands were already performing and needed to setup immediate sites for email capture and promoting new shows. Other artists were a “one man band” and wanted to take their music and test the waters. With each I replied: Set your own pace according to your goals.
