[RePromoteYourMusic]

trying to get subscribers? here is your solution!

RePromoteYourMusic, is the place to be!

the rules are simple, you subscribe us and after we have 1000 subscribers we will start showing YOUR vids, to all our subscribers! doesnt matter what your videos are about, well promote them for you!

[ericphillipson]

@Crazysoulrecords Yeahhhh... I had the video aggregated through a site that sends out the videos for me and it did this. Now that the future of music marketing has changed I'm making new videos for current stuff.

[gymparasite]

what if people steal your beats or lyrics?

[katkal3]

@gymparasite that's why you gotta copyright your stuff.

[ericphillipson]

@katkal3 yes copyright everything

[ericphillipson]

@gymparasite beats can be tagged...copyright everything.

[ThatboyCubie]

Good shit man. I need this as I'm trynna get more of a buzz.

[ImSleepyHD]

better than expert village

[bstbstbst2010]

so play into the system??? the best music refuses to do that IMHO.

Check my channel for examples.

[ericphillipson]

@bstbstbst2010 Maybe better music...but if you aren't wanting to get yourself out there so people hear your better music then you're just sticking to a hobbie

[BirdeeBGMG]

[1999BlackDakotaRT]

[h2obender1]

if i didn't see your face i would've sworn that you were black

[karp821]

I'm impressed. You know what you're talking about. How do I know this? Because the things that I've done and you mentioned...have worked. The things I haven't done and you mentioned haven't worked...because I haven't done those things. Everything that has worked you said it in this video.........My 3 main influences are The Doors, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and thats why my project is called Via Her DNA. I've been able to relate to other people through this passion we share in musical taste.Thanks

[ericphillipson]

@karp821 Much appreciated! I also like the project name. Stay connected.

[damijoshua]

thanx man big ups on the advise i was gonna get it copyrighted i wrote the lyrics,laced the vocals and the studio did the instrumentals.did i do 100% of the work? i feel like i did since i paid for my studio time am i right with this? please reply.tx

[ericphillipson]

@damijoshua Studio did the instrumental. That would be a publishing thing you would want to look into. Bookstores have TONS of great books on music publishing that I would check out so you can get the most amount of money from your music.

[TenderCrusade]

What I like to do is keep the myspace band page simply for correspondence. That way when I put music out, people can go to my page and leave a message, and if they tell their friends about my music, then those people will have a few songs of mine to listen to, and if they like it and want to buy it, then that's the icing on the cake. Otherwise, it's very annoying when someone spams you with their music.

[ericphillipson]

@TenderCrusade Truth. Thanks for the comment! Stay connected!

[blaneclarkmusic]

I really appreciated the video and made numerous mental connections with your strategies that I'm going to employ. I'm trying to get the youtube music page started right now and get it started the right way. Thanks man.

[ericphillipson]

@blaneclarkmusic Nice, I'll be doing a new video for both youtube and twitter.

[pubess213]

[ericphillipson]

@pubess213 haha. Music is crack to some people.

[toshow1022]

[ericphillipson]

@SuperSilviodante Thanks for the comment!

[blackbeltbrown]

so true.

chk out my profile

[BigBaggaBlues]

@blackbeltbrown hahaha i like that, i dont think you were even listening

[gavin916freak]

this is great, I completely understand, Ive been fing up lately, be a PERSON, not a contract

[andym516]

Nice suggestions, but how is it possible to write a personal thank you message to 500 people.

[ericphillipson]

@andym516 You don't have to go back through to the people you've already added. More strategies to begin implementing. The problem with new ideas is people try to put them on past things. Don't focus on the past, just start doing things right coming forward.

[vmf007]

@andym516 easy, one person at a time ;)

[fabulosityforever]

Hey, that was great advice! Helped me alot! How do you get friends on myspace though? Friends who aren't already your personal friends... like new friends!

[MrEkins40]

that was good advice man appreciate the insight. check out my page if you got time and let me know what u think of my music

[FireFactsp]

I really like the way you talk - it straight forward

[StonedSociety]

This is so great! We tried to make a How To Promote Your Music-video as great at this...

[otusqueeky1]

I TOTALLY agree with you man! Thanks!

[Escrima88]

[6662sides2die666]

Dude im in a rock band and have been saying the same thing as you for over a year now. Everyone has it wrong and very few have it right. You said it brother. You know your shit. And for that I thank you.

[vee4vanessa]

[ericphillipson]

[Janoih]

Bless man word to that

[ericphillipson]

Appreciate it!

[Liildiice260]

yo man that is all true.,... all i ever do is tell ppl to check out my music, that is really good advice u gave

[ericphillipson]

Thanks for the comment!

[heylookitsmatty]

The best comment to me is ..How are you doing today? or.. Just thought I'd say hello :)

go from there

[ericphillipson]

Agreed! Taking time out to interact with fans is VERY important

[RASTATVREALTV]

THANKS FOR THE TIPS ERIC.....

[ericphillipson]

Thank you for your comments!

[subvertmag]

Hey Eric great video, its so refreshing to find someone telling musicians not to just send out emails begging people to go check out their page. I receive hundreds of requests a day not once has someone asked about ME or said something about what I'm doing and just been nice and friendly before giving me the hard sell. It just turns me off straight away.

Nice job dude!! Angel

[ericphillipson]

Appreciate it! Its easy to get brought into the monotony of social media interactions and look for a "quick fix" truth is though that slow and steady breeds longevity.

Thanks for your comment!

[DUMBITD0WN]

5 stars man

[ericphillipson]

Thanks!

[ShaQuanda229]

aye man dats sum real shit neva thought about it like that

[ericphillipson]

Thanks for your comment, be sure to message me if you have any questions

[KytesTV]

I'm glad I ran into this video. I just started a myspace music page, and I got a bunch of friend adders and mass messaging softwares and went crazy with them. You're right about building genuine relationships with people. I'll give that a shot.

Thanks a lot man!

quick question: do you think it's a good idea to link people to my soundclick page which has a bunch of beats on it? Because I don't have a website as of yet. I'm hoping to make one from any earnings I get from my music. 1.

[JRock005]

I agree. I myspace is just an online demo tape. I used to send mass message. It never worked. I only would get about 5 to 10 plays a day. But then I started actually talking to people and become "REAL" friends with people. I think Street Promotion is better than online. I also gave out free Mixtapes at open mics. I would always put my contact info on there. Now i get thousands of plays a day.

[brandonlamarmusic]

jrock- u were tellin the truth all the way until the end. lie.

[JRock005]

Actualy I really was getting thousands of plays a day.

6 months ago.

But I stopped making music because the industry is full of dogs.

[brandonlamarmusic]

fuck the industry...build your own fanbase.

[ericphillipson]

Record business is what everyone is upset with. Keep faith in the music industry as a whole, it is the one that is evolving. The record business is faltering and making no attempts at change.

[ericphillipson]

@brandonlamarmusic cosign

[avibenson]

very smart/thanx eric!!!

[ericphillipson]

There was actually more! This was a small portion, I just now saw the posted version. Will be releasing the more in depth parts shortly!

[Videogameguys]

how so i even add my own music on my page?

[Dagangstapapi]

Thanks for the chat!!
