Networking Your Music

Once the final recording has been made, all the band members are satisfied, and you've mastered your music then the next step is to market your music. It’s important to advertise your music otherwise no one will know that it even exists. The first method you could use would be to create a preview with only a couple songs and put it on a CD. Then you could distribute it by either selling it for about two dollars or just giving it away free as a promotional item. If making CDs is inconvenient, there another option.
     Social Networking sites are infested with millions of people a day which makes it the perfect way to get your music out there. Sites like MySpace Music and Reverb Nation are perfect for creating a page for your band where you and your fans can check you out at any time. On the page it will allow you to have a music player to holster your songs. Facebook is probably the most used site these days; however, it lacks the band page feature. The way to get around this is to make a group with the link to your page. Also people will definitely check it out if the link is posted as your status often enough.
