The rules and strategies that I use can help even the worst marketer of best music promotion services get the word out about that new sound. The first thing that I think about as an artist is branding. I know branding sounds a lot like a full throttle business tactic. I believe you have to recognize yourself as a brand if you're going to survive in this business. The fastest and best way to brand your music is to offer an experience to your customer. This could be a free Cd or DVD anything that gives the audience a taste of your music. Think of eating at a restaurant, don't you remember that experience for a long time. Then when you see that logo again, you remember that name. If the experience was good then you eat there again, if not you won't ever eat there again. You won't even recommend it to friends.

I know we're not talking about restaurants but compare that same scenario to promoting your best music promotion services . If you're any good the word spreads about you and doors open much faster for you. Doing shows and giving away your product at times can really help you move up the music promotion ladder. Another thing I do to promote my music is to come up with other products that get my name out there. I've produced short films and written books even though my main objective is selling my music. Doing other things just help you stand out as an artist and enhance your customer's experience with your brand. That's why you now see many rappers trying to get into films. What better way to sell more music than to get someone to stare at you on a screen for nearly two hours.

If you want to be successful promoting your music, you have to know how to stand out from the crowd. When you go to a club all eyes need to be on you. Get the DJ to shout you out, put your hand up to the crowd. If you want to be a star, then you need to act like a star. One of the main things you must do is advertise your music. I would suggest contacting music blogs and giving them a heads up about your music.

Here's a quick list:

1.) Make a video: You must have this because your competition probably has one.

2.) Contact music blogs and websites

3.) Mail your music to radio stations. Plus you'll need to pay them a visit.

4.) Do whatever it takes to get your music in the clubs.

5.) Get a local TV commercial on cable ads.

6.) Get flyers made that promote your website and downloads.

7.) Giveaway music but make the audience do something to get it to boost the experience and make the product more valuable otherwise it could just sit around unopened.

8.) Milk the social networks. Promote yourself for free and offer to benefit others.

Whenever I promote my music, I make sure I reach the right audience by finding out as much as I can about them. The first step is researching your market. How can you reach someone if you don't know how to find them? Go to Google and research keywords that your audience might search for to find what you have. Finally, find a way to network with others and help them promote their music. This way you link up with others that search for them and they also find you. I started a website for underground southern rappers since I myself am a southern rapper. I sell to their friends and they sell to my friends it's a win win situation.
