There are many ways to market yourself as a new music artist. Now that the internet and the myspace.com craze has started, it is pretty easy to get publicity. I'm gonna tell you a few ways to use your myspace account to get publicity. First you have to have your music for sale. Try CDbaby.com or lulu.com, cafepress.com. All of these sites have the ability to sell your cd directly to your customers. Then you link your myspace to those accounts. Here are a few ways to bring traffic to your myspace. Oh! Here is a tip. Buy the URL of your group or band, lets say www.Hopeband.com and forward it to your myspace account. So when people put in your band site it takes them to your myspace. Very inexpensive and easy to do. Ok! Here it goes.
1- Send press releases on your group(www.prweb.com) If you upgrade and pay for the service about $100 you can get a large distribution and around 20-30,000 people will view your press release. A great way to get an article in a website or magazine also.
2- Get flyers printed up and hand them out on the street with your band url on it.
