My friend Wende Bartley, a composer and sound artist, has just shared with me a fantastic business and promotion tool for bands, musicians and sound artists. It’s called ReverbNation. It has a range of great features that are available for the 40,000 artists, venues, labels, and managers who have already signed up for its services. Here are just a few of the features that can help you both promote and distribute your work:
- You have an artist profile page, where you can feature audio and video clips, and announce events you are doing.
- There’s a button centrally placed on your profile page that fans can click to get on your mailing list. You can then send them newsletters and email about your upcoming gigs, or music you are releasing.
- It links to your social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, as well as to your website.
- It allows you to distribute your music to itunes and all major stores.
Some of it’s service are free, and others are very reasonably priced; in fact I was amazed when I looked at them. Even if you are just starting out and have a non-existent budget it’s worth checking them out, by clicking here.
Also take a look at Wende’s site. You can listen to some wonderful compositions she has posted, based on her experiences visiting ancient sacred sites in Malta and Crete.
