Social networking bridges the gap between you and your fans, and can also be a great way of getting your name out of your bedroom and into the industry. Here are some top tips for utilising networking sites to your absolute advantage.
1. Remember to Tweet! Twitter is short but sweet, whether it’s for a new song, upcoming gig, or just what you had for lunch, your fans will know in just 140 words.
2.The events function in Facebook is quick and easy. Let your fans know where and when you’re playing with minimal effort – an update will automatically appear on their homepage.
3. MySpace is great for giving your fans a sneak peak of your tracks, but remember it is far more valuable to have your own website.
4. Post videos on YouTube of you playing live, but be selective – only post your best performances. Backstage videos also go down well.
Stay tuned to the blog as I’ll be looking at each of these in more detail, starting with Twitter next week…
