15 Critical Marketing Mistakes That All Musicians Must Avoid. (MUST READ)

THIS IS A MUST READ!

By Jon Ostrow of MicControl.com

Musicians are entrepreneurs whether they want to believe it or not. By writing music under a band name, pen name or even just their own name, they have effectively created a brand that must be properly marketed if it is to thrive and flourish. But there-in lies a major problem: not all musicians know everything about marketing and they will eventually make some critical mistakes that lead to the demise of their short-lived venture. It is, however, the musicians who take the time to learn from past mistakes made by other musicians, and furthermore learn to correct these mistakes, that are the ones who build up the kind of influential brand that has lasting power.
These are 15 potentially crippling, yet ultimately avoidable marketing mistakes that are all too commonly made by the emerging music community, along with tips to help you as an artist to overcome and succeed in the best way possible:

How To Post A Perfect Press Kit On Your Website

Via Cyber PR Urban

I’m often amazed when I go to an artist’s website, and I look around, and I’m trying to find basic press information and I can’t. It seems that in the age of Twitter, Facebook, and Facebook Fan pages, and constantly focusing on your two-way conversations, we’ve forgotten the important basics.

Cyber PR President Ariel Hyatt breaks down the essential things you need to post your press kit on your website.

How To Post A Perfect Press Kit On Your Website

This is a revised excerpt from my book, Music Success in Nine Weeks, and it talks about an asset that no matter what we all face with new digital solutions, new platforms and apps that we’re going to be forced to learn, we should always remember: Your press kit. It’s up to you to post your press information clearly and succinctly, so that you’re easy to find and write about.

Posting an accessible press kit to share with journalists and new media makers ( bloggers, podcasters, etc.) is good common sense.

4 Steps to a Successful Music Career in 2011




Via Cyber PR Urban
 I’ve put together four steps to follow that will help you map out a successful social media marketing campaign to attack in 2011.
Step 1. Identify your goals.
Identify your specific goals on why your creating an online strategy Write them down! Usually physically writing something from pen to paper gives you a sense of responsibility. Post this up somewhere that you and your band can see it on a consistent basis. The worst thing you want to do is jump out of the gate blindly. That’s when you get overwhelmed, and frustrated. It always important to have a vision of what you want to achieve. This vision is really solidified by having actual visual representations of your goals.
Example:
  1. Have 100,000 plays on You Tube
  2. Increase online awareness
  3. Get more downloads on Itunes
  4. Build and grow my email list
