Independent Music Promotion Tips

This is very easy to do. If you have a music video it's even better. But if you don't you can use programs like Windows Movie Maker to create a "video" with still pictures and your audio. If you have a windows computer it already comes with that program. Upload your music on Youtube and link to it from your Facebook account.

2. Promote your music and yourself on Facebook

Facebook should be a big part of your independent music promotion. As an independent artiste a Facebook account is a must, whether you like FB or not. Hundreds of millions of people are Facebook users. It is very easy to set up a Facebook account if you don't have one as yet. Just go to Facebook.com and sign up. If you already have an FB account, you need to update it regularly. In addition to your regular account you need to set up an artist Page. With a regular account you're only allowed 5,000 friends but with a Page any number of people could become a fan. Link to your artiste page from from your main account.

3. Set up your own website

It is even more important to set up your own website. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other social networks can delete your pages and information at their discretion because it is their site. Not so with your own website. You need to learn the right way to set up a website. Just having a website for having a website sake makes no sense. You need to learn how to build a website that gets a lot of traffic. For this I recommend SBI 2.0. Click here to learn more about SBI 2.0.
