This is a paper on how to promote your band, over the past 12 months I have been in contact with a hundreds of bands looking to become famous in LA. Everyone wants to a hit! Well it all comes down to being discovered! You can be the best band in the world and if you don&;t market yourself right well good luck! Lets analysis fortune 500 companies. Take a look at there budgets They dump 35% to 65 % or more of their profits back into marketing and advertisements every year. Becoming and remaining number one requires a lot of work. Advancing to more and more new customers not only requires more and more marketing but keeping the old ones happy!
Wanting to Promote your band with Live performances and marketing new ideas well you have come to the right spot.
Once people have bought a bands CD and their tee shirt, and seen the band live now what? Note, promoting a band is a lot of more then just t-shirts and cd&;s hell anyone can do that! You need to promote in many ways, just look at fortune 500 companies they email, do giveaways, mini dvd discs promo&;s, cold calling, internet marketing etc. You must do at least 3 forms of promoting to get a response out of your audience. The newsiest one for bands is musicmp3 ringtones which we will get into later.
We will go over many ways of promoting your band:
1. Great item that I have seen so far are mini DVD discs called pocketreels. GOTO www.pocketreels.com for more info on how to pick them up. These mini dvds can go a far way just think what people would do if you handed them a mini dvd. They go crazy and they are super impressed! Place a nice video of your band on it and see how many new customers you receive at your next show!
2. Having a photograph or videoagrapher at your shows to help promote your band is a good thing. They can take pictures and or videos and upload the images or videos to your website which can boost mailing lists and a fan club! And then they may be compelled to come to your next show and bring more friends or soak in the opportunities for fame and the live music experience itself. For video or photographer outlets call PR Productions at 310-694-8350 for CALIFORNIA only. They have the best crews around but they are not cheap. Shoots start at $400 + editing.
3. That brings us to a mailing list, each visitor to your website you should be collecting their email address so you can send them useful information like when your next show is going to be.
4. Promoting your band is not easy so do your self a favor and get a good publicist to promote your band. A good one can get you in 3 to 4 magazines and newspapers in one month for free, of course you have to pay the publicist but it will be well worth it. It can range from $400 to $2000. Note you can do this part yourself if you know how to negotiate with editors.
5. Promote your band by creating a really cool website! Check out http://www.royacom.com to make yourself a website with a CMS system. CMS stands for Content Management system A good website will cost: starting at $1000 but it will have video, email list generators, photo section and best of all easy management. They are a little bit more then a regular website but the ROI
Or return on investment is greater then a plain website. You can change show times just like myspace and it makes it really easy for owners to manage so in the long run you save big!
6. Make a professional music video for your band or gig. This will help with promoting your band. High quality Video can be found at many locations for a crew with experience one west coast call 310-694-8350 for east coast goto the best New york production company click link or goto http://suitespotnyc.com/
7. Saving the best for last Another great way to promote your band is by making a mp3 ringtone, or polyphonic ringtonefor example you can download a nickelback ringtone and wow free advertising everytime someone calls that person and bam there is a song on your phone. You need help making your own mp3 or polyphonic ringtone please goto A-FREE-RINGTONE.COM By making a ringtone like nickelback you can have your song ringing all over the world!
Your goal is to continue to reach more and more locals. Develop more ways to attract people&;s attention. Always have something on you to promote yourself with.
Just for example. In an area with one million people, if you are getting less than 100 people to every show, perhaps you could be doing much more to reach more of the people in the community?
It’s tough out there, and you must be relentless every day to meet new people, shake hands and hand out your mini DVD discs or if you can&;t afford mini DVD discs get free business cards by click here and smile at people who are passing by you on the street and in stores when you are out shopping alone or with friends, in bars carousing. Go out and meet new people. Walk up to people, introduce yourself, Hi, my name is Scott I play at ___ ___ place on blank night. What do you do? Here is my promo disc (mini DVD) with my video or here is my business card with my website on it. You can download my mp3 ringtone (or my polyphonic ringtone) for free at this address. “ Hand them a card with the information on it. Note always test all information you hand out before hitting the road. Nothing is worse then a fan going home and something you handing them not working!
Have a stack of Mini DVD discs or business cards or flyers in your pocket at all times ready to hand out. Make sure on your Mini DVD, Business card or flyer you have your contact information, website, and the next local performance. You do this 20+ times per hour for 2-3 hours and then youre distributing at least 50 mini DVD discs or business cards or flyers in those 3 hours.
You then go back to your car and re-stock. Grab something refreshing to drink, munch on a a sandwich, or whatever, and move on to the next part of town, or the next gathering of people. Or go to the next live gig, the next bar, the next scene etc. and you keep it going.
Once or twice a week, you hit Kinko&;s, or the copier next to your office desk and you photocopy flyers and any designs you&;ve created for promotion of your demos, etc. Better yet think ahead and goto gotprint.com much better deals then Kinko&;s. (EXAMPLE 5000 post cards for $99 full color first side!)
Sell yourself. Meet with people and sell yourself. They dont know what youre doing. And unless you sell yourself, they wont care about what youre doing. They want to care, but they depend upon YOU to make that happen. People want so badly to care about something besides there problems. They want something to believe in. Entertainment helps take them there. You can be that entertainer, that leader of willing people of all ages that helps them to believe that there just might be something in this world worth caring about. They want to listen to you, and they want you to tell them about something that really matters to you. So, stay informed and develop interests in topics that may be discussed, even debated. Maybe you are trying to make a difference in the world – one person and one performance at a time. People want to believe in this and they want to believe in you. so, get out there and make it happen.
Remember go armed for battle you would not go into a war forgetting your gun would you? Look at it this way you rather have a tank and machine gun with you when you goto war so do the same with life. Make sure you have mini dvd discs, your own ringtone songs, postcards with info, website and publicist! Good luck and most of all have fun with what you do! BLOG your experience at http://promote-band.blogspot.com/ Hope all this helps J

Initial Search Engine Placement:Tips to Get Listed on Search Engine
by: Ryen Kim
You can get listed on search engine within a week or maximum within 2 weeks without even submitting your URL. Moreover, it is widely said nowadays that letting the search engine ‘spider’ index your web site is better strategy than submitting URL. That is, don’t submit URL to search engines: instead, let search engines find your web site, because search engine values the site (which is found during usual crawling) more than the one crawled by submission.
How to let search engines find your home page?
It’s not difficult nor technical. In theory your site must be indexed on search engine without submitting your URL because search engine spider program will crawl your web site unless you totally hide your web site on the web. Tips are the techniques that force the search engines crawl your site so that your home page can be listed on search engine within a week just after you upload your HTML files on your host. There is one condition, though. Your web pages must have some contents. Don’t be panic. I believe almost every web site has decent content pages.
How to know your site is indexed or listed on search engine?
Before applying following tips, check weather your site is listed on search engines. To do that, type “site:your homepage address”, for example, “site:www.yourhome.com” without quote in the search box of Google, Yahoo! Search or MSN. If your site is indexed, you will see list of your web pages. If not and if you see something like “Your search … did not match any documents.”, your site is not listed yet.
If your site is listed, you don’t need to read this article further. You have to focus on how to improve your search engine ranking. . If you’re not indexed in search engine yet, apply following tips and you’ll be listed on search engine within a week or two.
1. Tip #1: Create RSS feed and add it to your My Yahoo and My MSN account
Whether you know about RSS or not doesn’t matter. Just create RSS feed of your web content pages or articles on your web site and I’ll show you how to create RSS feed and explain how to use it to make your home page get listed on search engines.
1) First, create RSS feed
You can create RSS feed with “FeedForAll” software (for Windows user) without any background knowledge of RSS. It enables you to create RSS feed and update your RSS feed whenever you add new contents to your web site without hassle.You can download free trial of “FeedForAll” at http://home-based-affiliate-business.com/download/ffasetup.exe or buy FeedForAll at http://store.esellerate.net/a.asp?c=1_SKU01552700679_AFL0426179760.
Another way to create RSS feed is:
- go to RSS Headliner:http://www.webdevtips.com/webdevtips/codegen/rss.shtml and choose the number of headlines you’d like to include in your RSS feed file.
- Then a form with boxes that you need to fill out-your web page title, your web page location (URL) and description of your web page-will be appeared. Enter the right information, then click the “Make The Code” button. You’ll notice that this is a bit tedious job but it’s the cost of free. 
- It only generates RSS version 0.91 but fortunately many of RSS reader can handle it. I checked its update function but unfortunately it didn’t work correctly (you may try, it didn’t work only for my case). This means probably whenever you update your site, you need update your RSS feed file manually.
* Copy the generated code to your favorite text editor and save it with extension xml, for example, mypages.xml.
* Upload it to your web site so that your RSS feed location can be for example “www.yourhome.com/mypages.xml.”
Now you’re half done. Let’s move to the real tip.
2) Add your RSS feed to YOUR “My Yahoo!” and “My MSN”.
If you don’t have “My Yahoo!” and “My MSN” account, create them now. You can create them at “my.yahoo.com” and “my.msn.com” and they are free. After having these accounts, locate “add to My Yahoo!” and “MY MSN+” buttons linked with your RSS feed file on your web site. To locate those buttons, do the following.
- Go to “FeedBuner”: www.feedburner.com, and follow their instruction. Its service is free and it not only save your time but also gives you some benefits, for example, you can place amazon ads on your RSS feed file.
- Using your original RSS feed, FeedBuner will create RSS feed for My Yahoo! and My MSN. You can place either all the RSS feed buttons or only one xml button on your web site. It’s your choice.
Important thing for your web site getting listed on search engine is to use add to My Yahoo! and add to My MSN button and to add your RSS feed content to your own My Yahoo! and My MSN account.
- Also ask your friends to add your RSS feed to their accounts. This enhances the chance to get listed on search engines. I experienced, however. that without bothering my friend , that is, adding my home page RSS feed to only my own My Yahoo and My MSN, I could get listed in search engine within a week.
3) Why adding your RSS feed to your My Yahoo!” and My MSN account guarantees you to be indexed?
Within 24 hours after you add your RSS feed to your account, Yahoo! Search and MSN search engine will crawl your site. More than 90% certainty, your site will be indexed in Yahoo! Search and MSN. But it will take about a week or a bit more to be listed because there is a delay between crawling and indexing.
Now what can you do? Just wait? No, there is something more you can do. It’ll give you 100% certainty and furthermore help you to be listed on Google search engine. So, please keep on reading.
2. Tip #2: Post questions or opinions to the forum.
Subscribe to the forums that is relevant to your site theme. You can find lots of forums by typing “forum your-site-keyword” without quote in search box. Choose one or two forums that seem to have many members and to be active. When you register the forum, write down your home page address in the registration form (most of forums provide the box that you can fill with your home page address). And provide your home page link at signature box. One of ways to provide link is using “BBCode”, for example, “My home page:[url=http://www.myhome.com]My Home Target Keyword [/url]“. You can make a link by using HTML code if they allow.
After registering, post some questions or reply to other members posts.
Why is this good for you?
The search engines frequently crawl the forum sites and whenever they crawl those sites, they follow the links in forum as well. In search engine spider’s term they may say
What is this link? It’s not indexed one. I gotta check it!
So, the more post you do with your home page link in signature box, the better chance you get listed.
By doing this, together with Tip #1, you’ll be indexed in Yahoo! Search and MSN for sure. And this gives you higher chance to get listed on Google as well.
3. Tip #3 Use your blog to promote your home page.
It seems everybody is blogging. If you’re not in this trend, please consider stating blogging.
I presume your blog is listed on search engine (If not, following tip doesn’t help). Place your home page link in your blog. This helps your home page get listed on search engines with the same reason as Tip #2
This tip is actually about getting inbound link. Because you can control your blog, this is the easiest way to get inbound link. If you can have inbound links from other web sites, it not only assure you to be listed in search engine but also to improve search engine ranking. Whenever possible, try to get quality inbound link. It’s a great way to get targeted traffic, to improve search engine ranking and the only way to get listed on Teoma/Jeeves at this moment.
Using the above three tips, you will certainly achieve the initial search engine placement on Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN and probably other search engines. You even don’t need to submit your URL and moreover it’s not recommend nowadays. The initial search engine placement is easy and sure thing if you apply the above tips. .
If your home page doesn’t seem to get listed on search engine after a week…
If this is the case, something went wrong. Check following things:
do your links in forum, blog, and RSS feed file correctly direct to your page?
do you have any site construction on your home page?
are there any broken links in your web sites?
Correct the above problems, if any, then keep on posting and blogging and try to get inbound link. Also update your web site with new content, then ping your updated RSS feed to My Yahoo! and My MSN.
To ping to yahoo, go to
Ping-o-Matic: http://pingomatic.com/,
enter your home page title and home page address in ‘Blog Name’ box and ‘Blog Home Page’ box. (It says about “Blog” but don’t worry, You can submit as long as you have valid RSS feed.)
Then tick off the place you want ping. Don’t forget to tick off My Yahoo! and Moreover (for My MSN).
Click the ‘Submit Pings’.
That’s it! Hopefully, after correcting the problems and keep on applying the above tips, you may achieve initial search engine placement within another week.
