The first of our free resources for labels wishing to promote their music online

Following on from this article about commercial promotion options, if you've decided that you want to go it alone and promote yourself online, here's where to start.

You can contract external companies to take care of promotion for you, but let's face it -- nobody cares more about your release, your music, your business, than you do. With the internet, a bit of time, and a bit of nouse, you can accomplish a hell of a lot yourself. 

The following is a non-exhaustive list of electronic music forums (fora?) where you can post information about your release.

Before doing so, think about adding value to your post by including the following information:-

 

  • Including information on the artists, as well as the label
  • Do a bloody spellcheck before posting
  • Post a free track to a filehost like Zshare.net and invite people to download it for free
  • Make sure you're posting in the right place. Many forums have dedicated Music Promotion sections. Don't post in whichever section has the most views, it'll make you look like an idiot to the forum inhabitants (who are the very people you are targeting.)
  • Include a link to yor site's homepage. Periodically hit Google with the search term link:yourdomain.com to check any reposts or additional buzz on on your release. It's also worth setting up a Google Alert for [Album Title] [Album Artist] Label  to check what wider buzz is happening on the net
  • Be prepared for a boring evening or two
