Band Promotion

If you’re in a band and struggling with your band promotion strategies then this is the post for you because I’m going to be giving away some of the best ways to get your name out there and all for free with no strings attached.

So lets get started…

1. Old radio promo – I thought I would start this off with something oldshool that you may have done a lot more before the internet came about. Basically the idea is to get you music on radio station playlists which gives your band a massive push and can lead to some good promotion success. Now there are a lot of ways you can get your stuff on the radio but the two that I would like to point our here are Options 1: Send the stuff in yourself making sure you follow up and see if it has been listened to Option 2: Work with a radio plugger who will push the stuff for you and have a lot of contacts.
2. The YouTube method – You have a YouTube channel right? Well if not get one and start posting up videos each day of your band doing covers of other bands in your niche. When their fans go to search the track they will see your video and if it’s good they might join your list.
3. Email marketing – Ok this is a big one…Anything, and I mean anything you put out online should have a link back to your website where you can use a pop up to collect your new fan details like name and email address. This is so important because if you don’t do this your website is like a leaky bucket and the fans will be washed away.
4. Facebook advertising – This is some cutting edge stuff right here. What you want to do is start a facebook fan page then use facebook ads to drive people to the page who are into similar music to what you do. If you do this right it can give your band a whole bunch of new fans but you will have to spend a bit of cash to get started so make sure your campaign is profitable.

I hope that helped you guys, email me if you need more details on any of this stuff…
