Well I cannot tell a lie, when I found out all of the senators and congressmen such were tweeting I instantly felt, how uncool. That may have burned me of twitter for a bit. But in running my own business that is not music related I have found three things about twitter that I must share. 
- Twitter DOES serve a huge purpose in marketing
- Twitter DOES work in getting you attention
- People ARE watching their tweets
I didn’t really want it to be so. Indeed I wished for those who run Myspace or Facebook to win in the social media race. But twitter has its purpose and that one is a mobile one. Unfortunately not all of us are allotted plenty of free time to sit by the PC marketing ourselves. But with Twitter this can be done on the go. Load up your live links to song, videos and other online music promotion activity and utilize your short URL by tweeting them.
Although I didn’t want to admit it I have to say that with promoting something myself, nothing near as fun as songs and videos, and having had some great luck, I can only imagine what online music promotions can benefit if just sent to twitter as often as possible. Daily I have new people joining the followers list on my twitter. 
So
- Upload your video to Youtube
- Upload your songs to your site of choice
And then TWEET them. Daily, new material is always better. But keep tweeting. This WILL build your fan base and give you surprising results in a shorter time than you may be expecting.
