You have heard enough about how you should promote your music here and there. Ways to get your mp3′s out there and how to possibly get heard through internet music. So for sure there are many ways to network online and get your music or your band some attention. But there are some things that are always going to go back to basics. Yes the internet is one massively incredible tool for promoting your music and for just about anything else on earth. But lets not forget that the people who will be your fan base and the people who will purchase your music and share their love for your talent through word of mouth, are real to life people and not just a screen name or a log in on your fan site.
Remember while you are creating your music that you are also creating relationships. Some people take music very deeply and close to their heart and if your words and your tunes move someone, you have indeed created a relationship with them through music. Make sure you don’t bore your fans with the same repetitive riffs or lyrics. Keeping your music fresh will not only gain you long lasting loyal fans, but will also help to build your fan base as newer generations hear the messages in your music.
So although playing music is no doubt a passion for any musician. It can also turn into a business. You need to understand how to run your business without losing the human touch and personal relationship side of the music. Allowing your fans the most access to you through social networking and other online means can create a following that could last a lifetime. Imagine how different it would be if the Grateful Dead following began in this technological age. Yeah, that is pretty huge!
