How to Market Your Music - Learn How to Have the Edge Over Competition

By Davis Carter

How to market your music can be an issue if you don't have the right training. The problem most people have with marketing their music in general is they have the wrong approach, and once they realize that approach doesn't work, they stop. I want to briefly help you with executing your strategies and perfecting them as you go along.

The Internet
The Internet is a great place to begin marketing your music because of so many different ways of marketing through the Internet. You can use social network sites such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, and many others. You can sign-up for websites like Myxer to sell your ringtones and Soundstation to sell your albums. Both of these websites allow you to embed your material directly on your social network pages and websites. A trick you can do that is very uncommonly done, is linking all of your social network sites back to a main website. This will make your website rank higher in search engines when people search for a specific genre. The reason this is uncommonly done is because people think all they need is one MySpace page or Facebook page and they'll be all set. If you want people to take you and your music seriously, you want to have a website and if you don't have a website, you will need an abundance of social network pages.

Out of Your Car
At first blush you may frown, but this is how many famous people began their career in the music industry. Moreover, back in the day they didn't have the Internet at their exposure as we do today, so, I would advise you to make use of both. If you're very timid about marketing your music in public and you go about it very bashfully, keep in mind that small actions create small results. Luckily for you, there is something called "smart work" that I prefer over "hard work." If one of your fans approach you and explain how much they enjoyed your music, they will more than likely be willing to help you promote it if you offer them a percentage of sales revenue. Having your fans work for you as affiliates is a great way of getting your music out strategically and fast.

Bonus Help
You don't want to continue putting off till tomorrow what should have been done three years ago. The problem with most people today, is that they're excellent at beginning something and horrible the finishing. They feel that if something doesn't work the first time around, they've failed. They have failed temporarily and short-term, therefore, this short-term failure should be a sign of what not to do the next time they try. Many people fail to see opportunities over their obstacles because they don't realize most opportunity comes in the form of obstacles. Now that you know this information in addition to how to market your music more effectively, take this opportunity now and run with it.
