How we would decide to promote our song

How would we promote our song?

-Join a social network MySpace and its ilk act as a one-stop band advert where you can upload anything you want: photos, songs, video, text and more. As a group we would limit ourrselfs to two or three social networks though, this is because we would not want to spread ourselves too thinly. As there are four members of the group, we would all be able to invite friends and peers to a group online to look and even " like" our video and give us feedback to help us for future references and for our final evaluation

-Get some good photos Top-notch imagery is crucial if you want to be noticed online. We shall try to present a uniform 'look' that fits with our music. We may even decided to hire an aspiring photographers about who will be willing to take press or live photos of our  band for little or no money. Before doing this we would need to plan out our outifits to ensure that our looks vibrant and eyecatching to the public. We would look online for inspiration from other bands who are in the rock genre, eg greenday, falloutboy etc. We would look at where they shot there album artwork and how they presented it eg font, colour schemes and themes.


-Set up a website We felt as a group when looking online at other inspirational rock artists eahc and every one of them had there own website to post on information and  new uncoming albums for the viewing public to look at. After looking at this we felt that having your own websit looks more professional to the music industry and companys. Websites are cheap to host and easy to build with a small budget on hand.  However as a larger group we would have to ensure to update it as often as your social network profile though.

-Keep our website/profile current  We would need to make sure that you post regular updates and news stories about ourselves and the band.  We would have to add new photos frequently and generally keep our profile looking busy. This way we will be seen as a serious, enthusiastic, up-and-coming act. Regular profile/website updates will also keep things interesting for returning fans.

- Get onto Youtube
Content is key, but good content is everything. These days there is no excuse for poor quality. Even iPhones have amazing video features that should allow you to put together an impressive HD live video. One member of my group could easily set up a yotube account in seconds for us to post up our new video by my band.We can show a slideshow of our band photos and post a song from our latest CD. It can be invaluable to become familiar with YouTube as an independent artist.  We shall use stock footage, footage of political figures or current events, something artistic or eye-catching – anything that represents the mood of our music or will potentially get people talking, and more importantly, spreading our virus. We can use relevant keywords to attract people to your video. Many bands have gained thousands of new fans by simply posting a slideshow or video on YouTube
