As a musician to promote himself on the Internet

The easiest tool for promoting creativity is money. But not every novice musician has the necessary capital.

Another option is to link your destiny with the producer. True, the search for a patron does not always end with success, and cooperation with him often resembles bondage, which will be difficult to drag on with the years. And generally before you resort to such cardinal measures, try to test your music from an online audience. There will be listeners, critics, and, possibly, patrons of art.

The famous duo Hurts, placing on YouTube its debut clip "Wonderful Life" with a budget of a couple of tens of pounds sterling, won the hearts of a multi-million audience. The young star Alex Day by the age of 23 put together by the same platform many thousands of fans, and all thanks to the playful and uncomplicated video clips for their songs.

In the case of YouTube, it is not so important whether the clip will be expensive, whether there are special effects in it, for success, some kind of zest is needed. Read more about the viral video and create something like that.

Work with the site. Very soon the groups will need a site about the same as the rehearsal base. Search engines, if your site takes the first places, will help to find and useful links, and audience of listeners. But keep in mind that the site is a visiting card. Fill it with only interesting, useful content, add the ability to listen to tracks and watch videos, download or purchase, contact information.
