Happy New Year to all bands and musicians out there those starting the year with a new Music Marketing Campaign. I hope you’re selling lots of CD’s I do, but remember to have a back up plan for your business model; I’ve found it’s only getting harder to sell recordings. People still want to spend money where they see creativity and are inspired, but don’t limit that to your recordings.

What I’m really pushing artists to do right now is sell affiliate
products because the returns from commissions are more generous than CD’s and sell better, so it only makes sense, Sell your CD too, sell whatever fans will buy basically, stay innovative. It is the basic idea of Music Marketing Campaign. Use an email newsletter as well as a blog and social network promotions to push various propositions to your fans. It’s important to have many avenues open and have a variety of purchase options available so you can see what your fans are really interested in purchasing.

Kurb promotions are always happy to start with the basic online promotion, but I am interested in the email list you’ve already established. This is main strategy of Music Marketing Campaign. Have you got a strategy to engage this audience, and are you thinking about what you want to happen when we start driving traffic?

We can work towards pushing the album but I think the best ways to be sure that you’re connecting with that traffic is to offer some kind of free download or set up some kind of situation where the fans will want to return so that you continue to have opportunities to interact with them and sell them the album or related propositions. Basically have you got material ready for social networks blogs and newsletters? When traffic arrives on your website, myspace etc. what is the main outcome you’re looking for?

Because rather than have them arrive and go away again we need to be pushing toward a specific direction for fans to act, and if we don’t make that clear and straightforward we won’t be able to bring them to a point of engagement where they are ready to spend money. In some Music Marketing Campaigns we might want to pay attention to
how you can earn in the short term so artists can make money from music related business quickly to cover their initial investment.

This usually for me involves focusing on 1 product or service
combination that we can push at $100+ because it’s much easier to sell 1 x $100 product than it is to sell 100 x $1.
But at the same time I feel you’re pushing toward a earnest connection with fans, I think you’ve got the right attitude and appeal, which means although you need to support yourself the best path may be slowly building up those “real” connections to your fans and me helping you with technology so you can retain that intimate, personal
connected vibe with your fans while still keeping yourself viable as a professional.

It’s a hard road but in the future of the music business it may be the only one. Marketing and promotions can only do so much, and connection between the fan and the artist is now essential to building a business. Getting everything for your Music Marketing Campaign in order and accentuating your artist brand now could set you up for sustaining
momentum long term. Generating income short term although is another excellent way of maintaining momentum long term! If you are interesting in Music and want to know more about it then visit us at: www.MusicMarketingManagement.com

If you’re trying to Sell Your Music Online and get into music marketing and you want to try and sell something online, it’s got to be a real big deal. A bunch of songs won’t do it for even $9. And, get close to the customer. Customers especially fans can be demanding, but that doesn’t mean you should sterilize the whole sales process. If you can help people who buy the product with free advice than they feel they’ve got their moneys worth, and as I said, everyone’s different. Writing a quick email to make some suggestions to a fan or customer, I feel I’ve delivered value.

I’m quite experienced in Music Marketing and promoting novel acts because my background is in marketing and branding, which is all about translating unique experiences into value for audiences, and making their enjoyment and your recognition into a source of income online.

It’s important when artists understand that they are personally committed to their art that professional support is probably required to determine whether there’s a realistic market for what you offer, or more precisely in my field, to determine whether this can be developed into a source of income through new online business models and marketing methods.

From a sales perspective, you need a strong sales pitch on your site so to speak, but perhaps before we investigate that it would be worth examining your basic business models. I don’t know how viable driving sales and revenue with a CD in this era so we’d want to look at what you can offer in broader depth.In terms of promotion we have plenty of methods and techniques that would compliment your emerging brand but we’d have to assess what we’d need to do pronounce that brand – really take that tone from your blog and make it present.

I always say to artists we can do our promotion and drive fans but there needs to be something there for them to engage with, you’ve got your email list, now you need to drive sign ups with content that connects. Thats why this branding and development of content for your audience is so important. Online you have to have a consistent presence in order to build a consistent fanbase, then you can create revenue by servicing that fanbase in multiple ways including CD sales.

With $600 we could do a fair bit in 3 months, I’d suggest a makeover for your site, and developing your blog as a platform, and promoting that through search engines. I would also use an online advertising campaign to drive email sign ups – this becomes more effective once your whole sales process has matured – but we’d also have to develop your email management process to work in with your business model.

So there’d be a lot of written content development and editing required but we’d also look at how we can use video to meet our needs, and perhaps work on creating a video for the purpose of driving

propositions such as email sign ups and sales relevant to our primary business model (whether thats selling CD’s or otherwise).

Youtube and Myspace promotion we’d have to discuss whether these were suitable.

Basically it depends whether you want simple online promotions or you need us to get involved with branding and content creation also.

I know your basic content is strong but have you got the capacity to engage a building fanbase with regular weekly content?

So your basic $200 p/month covers the promotion you’re talking about, social networks, and search through Google. I’ll also discuss recommended strategies for online advertising which I suggest an

additional budget of $50 p/month for.

But what will happen when social and search visitors begin to arrive?

Have you got free content we can offer to push email sign ups?

And will you need support in delivery weekly content through the social portals and your blog?

If you and/or the artists can contribute regular blog posts, video content and interactive/viral concepts, great, but you may need regular content developed (blogs, video, interactive/viral elements) and branding support to engage fans.I think once you’ve got your head around outsourcing and having guys overseas do all the promotion for you, that’s pretty much half of learning Music Marketing how to sell your music online. But you want to know which sites I use where I do everything and how I do it so it all works out. Once you know that stuff, well you’ve already got the edge over the guy who is completely DIY.

Now you just need to work out how to make money. I can’t promise anything there but I can give you plenty of ideas to Sell Your Music Online and some of them work for me, I’m sure one or two will work for you. You just have to be ready for it take a couple of years. That’s life. For more log onto: http://www.musicmarketingmanagement.com

keywords.

Now Music Marketing services is also something I love to promote through article marketing and that being all very well and good, for now I’m going to detach from that because that’s the point of my new direction in article marketing – as long as I mention the keywords which in this case happens to be Music Marketing services about 3 or 4 times in the article and it has that same keyword phrase in the title,
that way in Google’s eyes once it indexes the articles and their links, the article as far as they know, is all about the best Music Marketing services available worldwide.

But of course it’s not! Because I do this same Music Marketing routine every week and I hate having to think about decent stuff to say when really let’s just face it, we want the link, I just want to write the first thing that comes into my head and there’s plenty of things in my head to write about that’s what makes it so interesting, yes now I
can write about anything.  I was going to write about something crude as an exercise in things I wouldn’t even write on my artist blog. But I’m too tired to be honest and I’m actually not just thinking of a way to talk about Colour
Copying Auckland and how cheap my service is but whether I could use a phrase in every article I publish so that diehard story hunters can cinder my articles and marvel at my bizarre mind.

Wow wee, it’s a lot more marvelous I assure of had I not been so sleepy but I kind of did like this idea so I just decided to find out how quickly I could write while choosing out a few fast ones like you’ll be amazed by our Auckland color copying services when you need urgent services and of course I should mention the graphic design services
available?

No, because I’m here to write about what I want to write about – Colour copying is nice, but a nice young lady is nicer, trust me. It’s not even Colour Copying it’s actually Music Marketing services. What a fail. I guess sit helps when writing an article to actually discuss the subject. So time to finish up, what have we learned? Not much, and not that it matters because we’re just here to write the requisite amount of words for marketing this article on online Music Marketing services, get in touch with Kurb if you need any help in this area our service is very reasonable.
