Move to Where the Food is




Marketing Musician show

Summary: If you're hungry, you will have a much better chance of getting food if you move to where the food is. Likewise if you want to grow your audience online (let's say twitter, or facebook) you need to do the following: 1. Understand your audience. You can get to know them by starting a podcast, creating a poll with free websites like Polldaddy and Survey Monkey 2. Go to where yoru audience is. 3. Make friends with them. 4. After you have developed a relationship with them, tell them about your music. Kevin Mulryne started a podcast about Yes Music. He went to the official website of Yes. He followed people that followed the band YES. He commented on their Facebook page. Slowly the Word of mouth got out about his podcast, and he is continuing to build an audience.  You can do the same thing with your band. Think about your band and if there are bands that you sound like. You could go to the band's twitter and Facebook account (because if their fans like their music - and you sound kind of like them - then they may like you. Happy Easte everyone.
