Summary: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are the 'Triple Threat' when it comes to marketing your music online as an independent musician, but maybe it's time to think about other sites that may have been overlooked. As always, we encourage artists to only use the social networks that they ENJOY, but maybe Google+ or Pinterest could be useful to spread the word about your music. And what about that ever-present source of information: Wikipedia? Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices. We help bring indie and established acts to radio, and spread the word online, as well as develop their careers in today's ever-changing music business. This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' the broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists.
