How to make money from music
J-World ntertainment has created a comprehensive social media and online promotion program designed for musicians. This program will grow your following on social media, and even start building up engagement.
1. Live Music Promotion
With everything moving more and more towards digital, it’s easy to forget about the value of the person-to-person interaction. These days, you can create great quality music, release it, distribute it, promote it, and even play live without ever leaving your room. But, just because you can release something entirely online doesn’t mean you should! In fact, these personal interactions are still extremely important in the music industry.
The live show is so much more than just performing. We can use gigs to promote your music, new album, or song. Tell your fans that you’ll be premiering a new song, or, if you want to go all out, we will tell them you’ll be playing the whole album at one show over the next month or two. The trick is not to tell anyone which is the lucky show – if your fans really want to hear the album early, they’ll have to come to all the shows. We could also use gigs to grow your fanbase in new cities, states, or countries. Work with a local established band and propose a headline swap – you’ll open for them in their home town and they’ll open for you in your home town. Just make sure you pick a band with a similar musical style.
2. Social Media
We all use social media. These days, if you’re not on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, it’s almost like you don’t exist. However, you may not be using social media to it’s full potential to promote your music. Social media is not a straight-up marketing platform. It’s really a catalyst for conversation and word-of-mouth marketing. About 80% of posts should be funny, conversational, and interesting, leaving about 20% for promotional material.
That’s not to say that conversational posts can’t be promotional! We know how to frame the content in interesting ways. For example, if you’re in the studio recording a new album, we will try sprinkling little updates on your social media. Tell a story about your studio experience that day, share a photo of the mix, or post a short teaser Vine of a song. If you’re out on tour, take photos at the venues or share short videos or photos of the audiences, we will share them for you. These things aren’t obviously promotional, but they still let fans know what’s going on.
3. Promoting on Your Website
Your website shouldn’t be a static thing. It should be ever adapting and changing to reflect new events in your career. Basically, you want your fans stopping by your website as often as possible. The more often they’re on your site, the more chances they have to buy an album, merch, tickets, or any other product you have available.
If you’re just starting out, you probably don’t have a lot of big updates other than the occasional album release and tour. Running a blog is a great solution. It’s fairly easy to set up a blog on the homepage of your website. Most website tools like Bandzoogle, and WordPress, have blog capabilities. We will Plan out blog posts at regular intervals like once or twice a week and share anything you think your fans would find interesting. This could be the inspirations behind certain songs, new lyrical ideas you’re working on, a funny story from the last band practice, or even a run-down of the gear you use.
4. Music Blogs
If we want to promote your music, it isn’t just about sharing things with your fans. we also want to reach out to new audiences and convert them to fans, and music blogs are a great way to do that. Bloggers are always looking for fresh, new content, and the cool thing is, there are a ton of smaller blogs that are totally within your reach as an indie artist. Blogs also tend to have a pretty niche following. This means that if your music is run on a blog, it’s guaranteed to be seen by people who already like the genre!
We will do some research, find blogs that cover your type of music, and send personal emails out to the bloggers. Are there any interesting stories about your new album, song, or tour? Having a unique story will definitely help you stand out from the thousands of other musicians releasing an album. We will Make it as easy as possible for them to cover your story and treat them like people. Remember, it’s all about establishing a relationship.
5. Collaborate with Other Musicians
Collaboration is an often overlooked aspect of music promotion. It’s a great way to get your music in front of another group of people and make new fans. You can collaborate on pretty much anything. We will make sure you collaborate with musicians whose fans would appreciate your music. Choose to work with bands in a similar genre or with similar fanbase demographics.
You could also work together on a song or album. If you don’t want to dedicate too much time, we will record a cover song or two together for you and release them on your YouTube channels. The key is to drive your fans to each other. If you create a song or video, link to each other’s websites. If it’s a gig, we will try to drive your fans to each other’s merch table to pick up a CD.
6. Email Marketing
Email list is an extremely valuable tool to promote your music. Unlike collaboration and blogs, email list is marketing to your current fan base. If someone signed up for your email list, they want to hear from you, so we will take advantage of it! Remember, emails should be driving your fans to your website, so you want to include links.
The obvious use of an email list is to let your fans know when you have an album coming out or a tour. You can also use your email list to send fans to your blog. Remember, you want to get your fans on your website as often as possible.
J-World is a record label working with the unsigned, emerging and popular artists. We work with the unsigned and emerging artist by producing a musical video for them in order to get familiar with the media and increase their fans base as well as monetizing the video to generate lots of revenue for them and helping them with the promotion until they get signed to a record label.
