Do you have a website for your music?

The problem with most unknown artists is that they don’t want to invest in order to get known. It’s like they never heard the saying “it takes money, to make money.” One of the best ways to do this is to create a website to market their music. It is almost a given that companies and artists have websites that fans and more importantly A&R’s can visit. By having a professional looking website artists gain instant credibility and this credibility will get you one step closer to your goal. Here are a few elements that should be incorporated on your website. All of it can be done for as little as $500:

1) Contact Information: Make yourself easily accessible. If someone likes your music and wants to offer a way for you to make money off your music you better make sure you can be easily contacted.

2) SEO Ready: SEO or Search Engine Optimization is an organic way to make your website appear near or at the top of a search engine like Google when someone types in certain keywords. Cater to your local audience. For example if you are from Honolulu, Hawaii, make sure that you place text all over your site referring to your market. When someone searches for “Singers Honolulu” you want to be at the top.

3) Bio: Create a brief description of your brand and your music. People like to put artists in boxes (he sounds like 2Pac) put yourself in a box so others don’t have too.

4) Music: People need to hear your product.

5) Video: is very important as many people spend hours of their time watching videos online. If you have a show, create a video and display it on your site or add a pictures show your songs.

6) Links: You should link your website to your other social networking sites like twitter, Facebook and Myspace. You should also trade links with other popular websites that your target market frequents. This should increase traffic on your website and also increase your SEO.

7) Blog: A blog is a great way to keep people engaged. If you do interesting this and are always active people will follow. Once you have a “following” you will be more attractive to record labels.

Find a Producer

There is one universal and vital component that every rapper and singer needs in order to create a song. They need music. Unfortunately, most artists do not know how to compose and/or create music; therefore they need someone who does a producer.

It is fine to start out using instrumentals that have already been used by other artists but all artists who have every made it have done it by creating their own sound and they had a producer to help them. Snoop had Dr. Dre, Missy had Timbaland, and Janet Jackson had Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam. Who do you have?

I know what you are going to say “producers cost money.” Yes, good producers do cost money but if you have the talent something can always be worked out. Also there are plenty of unknown producers who are trying to find a talented artist just like you to feature on their music. All you need to do is find them.

Sure it’s easy to find producers online on bulletin boards or chat rooms but is much easier to build a true relationship with someone if you find a producer that lives in your city. Find someone who is excited about your talent and who will help promote you in exchange for credit on the track. A good producer will also already be working with other artists they you might be able to collaborate with you and the best producers will make you better than you already are.

So I know it’s easier to download the instrumentals from your favorite tracks and create your own songs but it’s much more rewarding to find a producer and create your own sound that you can market.

Buying Music on Myspace

Myspace Music who would pay for it? Every artist who wants to "make it" knows that they should put their music on myspace.com. This is a good promotion tool but who will buy your music?

Many artists have a lot a of fans on their myspace but out of your 1,456 friends who would actually pay money to get your money on their ipod? I wouldn't think there would be that many.

Myspace thinks it can get people to pay for music off of their site, what do you think? Will people pay to download unknown artist's music?
