An associate of mine (Jamille Luney) recently wrote a very
informative article for you, that deals with the subject of marketing
and selling your music to a wider audience. The article touches on a
lot of great tips and tricks that you can use to increase the amount of
sales and fans you get, so I am reposting bits of it here.
Continue To Sell Your Music Online!! I cannot emphasize this enough. However, market your music more offline. Why?
College Campuses & High Schools
Many of you don't know where to start. You're on a limited budget and
you want to hit as many people as possible. College campuses are your
best choice. You can target thousands of students at a time in one
location. High Schools are your second choice, but you have the hurdle
of the school board and principal to get around. Jill Scott started as
an indie artist on a small unknown indie label. At the time the label
owner did heavy marketing of Jill Scott on college campuses and college
radio. The rest is history and Jill Scott eventually crossed into more
mainstream markets and commercial radio. Her record label, Hidden Beach
Records, is still classified as indie but picked up major distribution
with other companies.
Be Unconventional
If you're conventional and traditional, you won't stand out. Try to
think of things nobody has done. Over ten years ago one man went to
local high schools and middle schools and handed out key chains of his
rap group with the phone number of the radio station so they could call
and request their music. Soon the song "Tootsee Roll" by 69 Boyz became
a hit. Please note, if you're going for the teeny bopper audience with
a song like "Tootsee Roll", success will probably be short lived (i.e.
69 Boyz). However, if you're an indie artist who wants a long term
future, go the college campus marketing route like Jill Scott. Jill
Scott's fans are loyal and deep like her. Artists tend to attract who
and what they are. Compare Soulja Boy fans to Jill Scott fans, huge
difference.
Bottom Line
Be fearless, aggressive and unconventional!!
This is a great article, the rest is up to you. There is no task to
small for you to overcome if you just believe how much you deserve it.
This article points out two perfect examples, Jill Scott and 69 Boys,
no matter what genre of music you may be in... You can do the same thing
that these artist have done, and even on a higher level...
