Author: I believe to sell your music online is one of the smartest decisions you’ll ever make. The internet allows anyone to reach a wide audience, sometimes very quickly.
When you promote your music online there are two things you must focus on;
* getting people to come to your website (traffic)
* building relationships with your fans
Persistence pays, you know. Use these simple strategies and start immediately on the road to success.
1) The most important ’secret’
Build your mailing list!
Most people don’t realise the power of a mailing list. A properly built and managed list, alone, can lead you to money and exposure!
Imagine what you could do with email addresses of thousands of fans…
2) Use YouTube and other video sites
Video hosting sites can give you quite a bit of exposure. If you want quick results however, you could try covering current hits.
You may not like it but some artists get millions of views this way. Also use websites like Tubemogul.com to submit to all major video sites at once.
3) Build your fan base before releasing you album
If you already have an album out, that’s fine, but I strongly recommend this approach: develop a strong relationship with your fans first.
That way you will save yourself a lot of disappointment. I know too many artists who spend a lot of money on recording and have nobody who wants to buy their CD…
4) List your album on CD Baby
The cool thing about CD baby is most of the visitors are there to buy CDs!
If you sell a good number of your CDs in a short time, you could get featured on their front page, giving you further exposure!
CD Baby is the best place on the internet to sell your music.
5) This secret could get you thousands of fans
If you can build a website with stuff your fans are interested in you could potentially gain thousands of fans!
Even business are using this strategy now. Content based websites can also make you quite a bit of money – which is another plus.
6) Play live… from your home!
If you have access to a webcam you could organise a concert and get your fans to watch it on their PCs.
The best thing is you could do it for free. Visit Mogulus.com and find out how you could set up a show for the whole world to watch.
7) Write articles
I know it sounds funny but hear me out. The way you (and thousands of others) got to know me by reading this article, this same way, new fans can get to meet you.
Article marketing is a really powerful way of getting new fans, who could end up buying your music
Promoting your music on the internet is not difficult. You too can sell your music online.
There are even more strategies out there. Remember to keep learning – the internet keeps changing. But most importantly; focus on satisfying your fan base and they will treat you good as well.

It is so admired that some people kit out their entire homes with it.
