Re: WAYS TO SELL OUR SELVES: ONLINE
GET YOURSELF ON INDEPENDENT MUSICIAN WEBSITES
This takes a while, but it will increase your web traffic 10-fold and
generate much interest in your music if you write your profile decently.
There are hundreds of website services out there that allow you to create
a
profile, share some of your MP3s, write a bio, share pictures, etc. I only
use those that are free. My list is below. Just lick on the URL and go to
the home page where you can find a link to sign up. Or use my URL and
backspace to the .com. or domain suffic. As with CD release
communications,
I recommend having a bio and all your material ready before hand, that way
you can visit these sites, sign up, get your stuff uploaded, and get our
quickly.
