Marketing Yourself

What i do?

I am a wannabe artist and a upcoming producer, i currently do a level 3 course that helps me acheive skills and improve my ability to this course, over the past 2 years has developed my performing skills, my producing skills and my overall theory of music. I currently want to work on my producing skills and sound engineering skills so i can get knowledge not only on the practical side but also on the academic and technical side of the industry. The reason why i want to have this amount of knowledge on this side of the music industry is because i want to creat my own independent label and release all my work as a artist and a producer independently without any strings attached.

Marketing materials:

The people that would likely be my target fans are people who buy music and also enjoy experimental songs. I likely age of these target audience are about 16 - 28 years of age. The reason why is because
16 - 18 year olds would most likely get the parents money to buy my songs and 20 - 28 year olds would probably buy it then selves. Sources that i would mainly use to get my fan base increased is sound cloud, twitter, band camp, proffesional blog, wordpress, youtube, facebook and instagram .

Soundcloud:
Soundcloud is useful to share mp3 files for free so listeners can stream it for free from any where that has internet acess, its also useful to share high quality music with wave file.

Twitter:

Having a lot of followers on twitter means that you have a lot of people hearing what you have to say and whatever post that you post within the social network can be highly credited. A useful thing to do to promote me as an artist on twitter is to post links to other websites witch show off my skills as a producer and a artist or post about what time my ep is coming out and dates for tours and gigs.

Facebook:

Facebook is useful as a network that promotes other useful websites that promote items.

Bandcamp:

The good thing about band camp is tht band camp is specially made for upcoming artists and producers and its easy to post eps and albulms or songs for free on this site and if registered you can also get a profit from the sales, and the people buying the item can choose the amount they want to pay witch sometimes can be a sucess for the artist. I myself will be making a target to publish a ep on bandcamp as soon as possible.

Wordpress:

Wordpress is where i have my blog that links up every networking site that i have meaning that i have music from soundcloud, links to instagram, link to twitter, facebook.

Instagram:

Instagram is kind of new to the promiting business, its a great way to get me as an artist and producer closer to my fans, having pictures of day to day life helps people identify not only with your music but with day to day life, witch is very useful to attract new dedicated fans.
