The Business of Music and Your Role In It Episode 2: The Social Breakdown

In this episode we target just a bit further on the topic of creating your internet presence. This time elaborating on the interactions for business purposes with the social websites. I like to talk about 4 category points in which I define and breakdown based on avenues. The 4 points explained are:

(1) Video Broadcasting sites - your visual avenue;
(2) Facebook - your business and professional avenue;
(3) MySpace - your party avenue; and
(4) Twitter - your update and damage control avenue.

Each point serves a different purpose when promoting and marketing your bands website.

At the end of the day, its all about effectively combing the social websites, building platforms for the ability for your current, and future, audience to interact with you via your website.

The more that you keep abreast in the knowledge of it, the more successful you will be able to stay on top of the game.

You're on point with that statement, Blockingz Entertainment. And there's enough out here where everybody can eat.

Hey, but that's the awesome thing about it, KingBillionaire. The principles of it can apply to whatever it is that you do.

Every site is my party avenue, but I'm not doing business.

Solid advice as always, especially about using quality mics. ;)
