Want Press? Make It Easy for Journalists and Bloggers to Write About You
Source:
HypeBot
Musicians' websites, despite the relative ease in coming up with a list of what they should have and what they should do, are a weird hybrid when you step back and look at who's being served.

In a previous post I spoke about developing a strategy for fan engagement. One of the best tools that we encourage Bandzoogle members to use to engage with their fans is a blog. A blog is essentially a web log, an online journal where you can post entries and where your fans can leave comments. Blog posts can be used to announce news (album, tour, etc.), document experiences (recording, touring, etc.), or offer anecdotes from your personal life (passions outside ...

Sick of all this nonsense everybody keeps yelling in your ear about social media marketing while you're busy tuning your guitar?

Drowned in Sound Founder Sean Adams: 'The Slow Death of MP3 Blogging'
Source:
HypeBot
Guest post by Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm.

If writing about music is like “dancing about architecture," as ...

TuneCore CEO Jeff Price responds: Before I say another word, yes, I know I'm rising to the bait. I know this response means more eyeballs for Digital Music News—a semi-legitimate music industry blog that tends to be sensational to drive eyeballs. I know that Paul Resnikoff's constant personal attacks on TuneCore and me are a goad and good for his web traffic. Okay, sometimes the only way to refute a gambit is to accept it. If this means more people ...
