Artist Blog: Attract Fans, Not Visitors

MP3 Blogs can cause significant music and event ticket sales. If the MP3 blog community embraces the artist, they could potentially have thousands talking about the artist and providing MP3s of their songs to hundreds of thousands of music fans. A great way to get the word out is by a real grass roots campaign of music fans talking about the artist. With the Internet, they have a vehicle to communicate with the world.

MP3 Music Blogs: An Invaluable Medium

Over the past few years, music blogs have become an invaluable medium for new artists to garner positive internet exposure. By establishing personal relationships with blogs that are most relevant to their particular sound/genre, new artists have the opportunity to reach vast, unexpected audiences.

Producing unique and high-quality content is the foremost concern for any artist looking to attract more fans and increase their brand awareness. Artists should take advantage of all available media resources -- YouTube, Facebook, Myspace, blogs, message boards, etc. In a day and age where new acts emerge left and right, it is fundamentally essential that you have your name out in the vast web domain. Otherwise prospective fans outside of your town or inner-circle will not have any reason to know about what you do.

Since artists and bloggers continue to develop a keen professionalism in promotion and content delivery, utilizing the web space and social media tools effectively will allow you to distinguish yourself from other artists. Remember that bloggers with significant traffic are constantly bombarded with all kinds of press materials from bands big and small, and are much more inclined to post about something that comes off as natural and personal, rather than manufactured.

Viral Marketing The Artist's Music

Once a connection with a like-minded blogger is made, the artist's content can spread like wildfire, producing what’s known as a viral effect, where one source with an audience disseminates the information to countless others, much like a virus. And when that happens, it can become a vital and rewarding aspect of your own online media campaign.
