· The cheapest and most effective way of marketing your music is by not doing it at all. Rather, it's by getting other people to do it for you: The easiest way to do this is by causing people to know about you by word of mouth. For example if you reach one person then they can talk about you and invite you to their gigs.
· But I became a fan and started telling my friends about them when Larry Kirwan, the lead singer of Black 47, emailed me back: through blogs such as Myspace people are able to find out more about you and your band not only through your page but because you are able to comment them back, making them feel a sort of personal connection because not every band takes the time to do this
· Although exposure is critical to success in the entertainment business, the high cost of traditional marketing has made generating widespread publicity beyond the reach of many independent artists, labels and emerging companies: To overcome this many online companies have opened up in order to cater for those independent artists trying to distribute their music to the public. For example there is the Billboard and Vocus Music and Entertainment SEO Press Release Service which was launched on the 24th October 2006.
