Using Twitter To Keep Fans Informed
Twitter is a constantly growing Social Network, and is being used more everyday by people. I have seen where bands & artists have started to jump on the bandwagon and use Twitter to help keep their fans informed. There is so much you can do with twitter from posting Pictures, Video, News, and Random Thoughts.
Pictures (Twitpic)
Basically what Twitpic does, is let you share pictures via Twitter. You can either upload the pictures via the website or from your mobile phone. Where this could come in handy in a band/musician standpoint is, posting pictures from your shows and random places you go on Tour. http://twitpic.com/
Video (TwitVid)
The easiest and quickest way to share videos on Twitter from your phone or computer. Also, you can share videos in Realtime. Post those funny moments from tour, or clips from your show. As well as video from in the studio. Another way of sharing content on Twitter. http://www.twitvid.com/
News & Random Thoughts
Post upcoming shows, album releases and other band news and your fans will get the updates to their either on the web or phone depending on how they have it set up. As well as share random thoughts such as where your going to eat dinner at, and maube even some random facts abut members in the band. All of that can be done via the Twitter interface of from your phone.
So as you can see, Twitter can be used to gain fans and keep current fans informed on whats going on with you. It’s the best thing to use for a mobile fan club also, since it’s FREE! So if you don’t already have a twitter, than you should make one. It’s one valuable tool your going to want to use. If you do use Twitter, well Tweet on!
