Internet music promotion is a great way to generate extra streams of income for your business and in general. When it’s done incorrectly, it can become a devastating feeling because you put in so much hard work and nothing to show for it. When it’s done correctly, the feeling is the exact opposite and you actually put in less hard work and more smart work to make huge amounts of extra money online.
Websites
Great websites to start with include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, and similar websites to those. Uploading music and videos to websites such as these and many other similar sites will give you a great chance of being discovered. Although I’ve only mentioned a few websites where you can practice your Internet music promotion techniques, this is not where you should stop because the more sites you upload to, the more exposure you receive. Myxer is a good site for selling ring tones and Sound Station is a good site for selling your albums. These are just a few websites that I utilize, but it’s just the beginning and there’s thousands more out there.
Build a Website
If you are aware of anyone who knows how to create websites, call them now. Your Internet music promotion efforts shouldn’t be limited to just MySpace. A website is an essential asset to your music business because, it shows professionalism and it builds more trust in your customers than a social networking page would.
Website SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
Optimizing your webpages will cause them to show up in search engines over many other results. One way to optimize your pages are to create more relevant pages linking back to your target page. Another way would be to add hyperlinks to your page linking to other relevant sites. One last way to optimize them would be to add high search volume key phrases into your text content, preferably one phrase per 100 words but make sure not to go over 3 times every 100.
Recap
Start by creating a music page on a regular social networking site, in the meantime find someone who can help you build your own websites, and in the end optimize all of them. These are just a few brief internet music promotion techniques that aren’t too difficult to try for yourself.
