Ways to Promote Your Band

Promotion January 26th, 2008 - Written by: Justen Martian

People are always asking me some of the best ways on how to promote and give a band a real kick to get it’s name out there. I respond to them all in various ways, so I finally decided I needed to write an official source where I can point them to, and article on how to promote your Band. So, that is what this blog entry is all about.

Step 1 - Create a Myspace Music Profile
As you know Myspace is one of the top Social Networking sites on the net right now. So, all you have do is make a Myspace Band Profile, Upload a Pic, some of your tunes and a short bio. After that really all you have to is add friends and keep the profile updated. Also, adding a theme/layout to your Myspace really spices it up and makes it more attractive.

Step 2 - Create a Purvolume.com Artist Account
Purevolume is a lot like Myspace. Basicaly the same concept but not with some of the added features Myspace has such as bulletins, groups, etc. So you just upload a pic, music, and bio just like Myspace. Except with Purevolume, it doesn’t give you and option to customize your page as much as Myspace.

Step 3- Make a page on anyother social networking site you like
Here are some more sites you can make an Artist Account on:
HisHolySpace.com
Indietunes.com
iSOUND.com
MP3.com
ReverbNation.com
Shoutlife.com
Virb.com

To add another site to the list, leave us a comment with the site and we’ll add it.

    a couple of others are…

    http://www.shoutlife.com
    http://www.hisholyspace.com

    Even tho shoutlife & hisholyspace are cleaner and safer, I’ve gone back to myspace because really if you are trying to reach a spiritually lost commuinity, myspace is where it is most needed AND It is by far a bigger community too…I have seen some horrible images (accidently)on myspace, BUT I fugure myspace needs thee reppin’ Jesus ministry more-AMEN?! dUg-

    What prevents many folks from promoting their music is the fear of being labeled a “shameless self-promoter.” I don’t worry about that label, because, though I self-promote, I do it with plenty of shame.

    On, BTW, here’s my latest song:
