5 Music Marketing Tips EVERY Musician Can't Live Without! 1. Say Something Seriously, there is a massively huge world out there. In case you didn't get the memo, the economy sucks, people around the world are starving to death, corporations are raking in billions, and the media keeps shoving expensive crap down our throats.  So say something. Don't waste your talent, whether its in music, or art, or writing, or math, or whatever. Don't waste it. Use it. And make a freaking difference.  Musicians, there are thousands of songs out there about dum tweeny bop crushes and partying. Are we really that lame?

If I don't want someone to judge me based on my appearance, gender, or age, I can create a new avatar, an identity, all linked to a valid e-mail account and website which tout my achievements without giving away a single personal detail.

If you, or you, or you want to create a great piece of art, whether it is music, or visual art, or an ebook, all you have to do it create it and hit SEND. It doesn't matter if you are ten, or twenty, or one hundred and ten. It doesn't matter if you speak Spanish, or Mandarin, or Arabic. If the music is good, if you know what you are doing, you can share your creations with the world.  Even if your music is bad, someone is bound...

Music Insider: Why Every Band Needs a Blog  Every musician wants to make money with their music. Word-of-mouth marketing, paper fliers, and seedy managers are so last century. To make it today, every musician needs to become net-savvy and start a blog. First off, what is a band blog?   Think of a blog as an online journal, where your band can connect with music fans and chat about your latest gig, upcoming albums, last night's recording session, or where the band will be playing next week. Post band pics, free music downloads , and links to your latest albums. The key to blogging is to write new posts regularly (a few times a week) and to get fans to subscribe to your music blog .
