Thanks Rockbandpromotion, the key for all of us here is to get more exposure and being creative to distinguish ourselves from the other carbon copy music operations

True, Jai, we have to provide that emotional value. Its funny to me that many people assume that its only big operations that may neglect certain fans because they have so many fans they don't care about losing a couple of fans here and there.

I've seen small indie bands do the same thing and its not because they are so famous. They just lack the basic understanding that actually talking to fans will pay off. I've seen good things come from taking time to get to know some fans. Great music marketers even mention the importance of getting 1000 true fans, earning you good sales. Spend time with 1000 fans and see what happens.

Hey mmdndoza, yes, I've seen similar posts and others that expand the concept to say "people by into people not products or services first." Meaning, there is no emotional tie-in to a product or service - these things are just objects or actions with no emotional value... but the person, organization (artist, group, label in the music industry), or company representatives has a personality that can spark emotional commitment, interest, or satisfaction. To the music industry this is huge because an artist or it's marketing arm (street team, blogging team, social networking team, etc.) needs to be that emotional personality that can spark emotions with potential fans that will cause them to take the desired action - buy merchandise/CDs, go to shows, blog about the artist, or tell others about this "great new artist/group I heard!"

Great string we have going here!
Peace,
Jai

This is some really great advice mate. It really does help to promote your articles and content with social networking sites for a band blog, because the more people you get to your site, the more chance theyll listen to your music and become a fan!

Thanks Jai, great point on thinking about commenting as a singular activity. I read an interesting Blogging PDF that stated people buy with emotion and justify with logic. Commenting is another way to get to know fans and bloggers by building loyalty.
