Facebook is a good place to promote yourself. You should try to make
yourself available to the people that like the type of music you?re in to
weather on line or in person. You will need a mailing list so that you can
stay in touch with the people who like you enough to follow your music.
Looking for the people that like your kind of music and letting them check
you out is a very good way to start.
May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
Music soft sacred and soulful

Hi Darren!
Strange you should aske. It is more or less the same questions i ask any
company when calling them on the job. the phone is mostly just as silent as
the list at the moment.
We have our own homepage. We pay to be found on the most used maschines when
someone browse for information, We have a good network. We only have
reaktive sales or what ever..
The problem with PR is that it takes just as much time as you put into it.
But as an artist it takes up from your performance to get to involved with
PR. A company can pay fore it. they can even get others to make the contact.
but somewhere down the line you can try to think about how others known
artists do it and try to use the ones that is in the more cheep end.
a lot of rock artists smashed there instruments. Pretty expensive PR. and
you need a paper on the sput to make it work.
Others smashed there hotel rooms. That also takes energy out of the
performance and is also in the expensive end. But here you can increase the
value by getting to cord
a quick person may also think now, hey what good will that do to me. So it
is a matter of status. where am i at the moment and what is my target for
the nearest future and mayby also on a more longer sight. Before this
becomes a much to long mail. than you may try to think about what is the
longer perspective off what you want to do with your music. Divide it into
steps and take one at the time.
I am not premoding my music yet. Still working on the second step. getting
Sonar to work for me was the first, assuming that you have materiel to start
with. Now i am starting up finding people to work with. I am a very bad
singer so that is the third step on my list. If the materiel end up to be a
product i am proude of i will take it to the nexst steps of going public.
my own homepage. Jobs and a lot of talking, with i am very good at. Here you
will need a good story. All news and tv stations look for them. Hopefully a
record company thinks this is just what they need. But in other cases it is
the long way around. Need to go public. get some jobs and maybe compose fore
someone or for a task. If the demo is ready for production i may take it to
a tv station or in your case Darren. to company's producing nature films
where they need som bacground. But it is a lot of talking and you need to be
consistent to make it. My impression is when i call a company you get
somewhere about the third phone call. But you need a reason to call every
time. so be creative.
Hope it helps a bit but it is somthing just as difficult as making music.
Take care!
Dennis

Emne: [ddots-l] OT: How do you promote yourself?
Hi folks.
Interested to hear your thoughts on this one, and it's a pretty basic
question.
What do you personally do to promote yourself?
How do you get yourself more fans, customers, whatever you wish to call it.
How do you keep in touch with them?
Do you use social media to its fullest potential?
OK, I'll leave the floor open.
I'll cross post this to MidiMag for more input.
Cheers
Darren
