Promote Your Band On Myspace

Myspace is by far the best site to get your bands name (and more importantly, your songs) out there. At one point %90 of my bands gigs were coming from Myspace. That is because we worked hard to build our network of fans and some of those fans happened to be booking agents.

Building your network just means building your friends list. The more friends you have, the more visits to your bands profile page. If you send people requests, comments or messages, then you are going to have some of those people check you out. If you have a nice page with no friends, then who is ever going to check it out? A&R reps also surf myspace to find the “next big thing” so increasing your friends list increases your chance of one of them finding you.

A good way to build your network is to figure out what kind of audience you want to target and search for them on the myspace search page. The resulsts are the people you want to send requests to. Make up a short note to send with the request telling them something about your band. Try to be interesting and original as this will increase the amount of people who will view your bands page.

Another way is to use a friend adding sites like Adder Demon . These sites have made it faster and easier to add friends, which give you points. The more points you have, the more friend requests you get from other people. The only thing I don’t like about this is that you have no way of targeting your potential friends.

If you would like a quicker and easier way to grow and target your bands network of friends I would suggest using Friend Blaster Pro. This tool will do all of the work for you giving you more time work on more important things going on with your band.

Friend Blaster Pro is a software that allows you to gather mass amounts of friend ID’s (your targeted audience) and instantly send out requests, comments, and messages to them at an extremely fast rate. Once you have gathered your ID’s you put it on auto pilot and let the software do the rest. I have easily sent out 200 messages in 10 – 15 minutes with this program. The only thing you have to worry about are filling out the captcha codes that come up every once in a while.

Numbers Matter – The more plays and profile views you have, the more “popular” you are deemed by potential visitors/listeners. Being seen as “popular” increases your chance of somebody viewing your page, listening to your songs, and even buying your cd’s and mp3’s. A&R reps and booking agents won’t take the time to view your site unless you have atleast 100,000 views because they want bands that can bring a crowd to there shows because after all, they are putting on the show to make money. So with that said get your network going and socialize on myspace, because the more people you add and talk to, the more your numbers increase.

Plays Increaser? Now this is something that I would not use myself, but so many people are using them that I must talk about them. Plays increasers are a program that will actually use a bot to increase your song plays and profile views on your myspace page. They even allow you to select which songs get plays, how many plays they get, and you can use different proxy servers through their program to mimic visits from around the world. It also works with Youtube and Soundclick. If you have any interest in that then you can check it out at Band Plays .

Need a website for your band?

Band Website Theme is a great way to get your band a website up and running even if you have little or no programming experience.  This is an inexpensive way to get a fully functional professional website up and running in an instant rather than paying a programmer hundreds of dollars and waiting weeks or months for your website.  If you promote your site right and get some merch and songs available for download then your Band Website Theme will quickly pay for itself.
