The great Bard once said, "If music be the food of love, play on";
and so it did since time immemorial, where some played and others
listened, all in the name of love. Promoting music, especially created
by individual musicians, was quite difficult in the old days because
of the huge amount of monetary investment that was needed for this
kind of promotion. However, individual musicians these days no
longer have to search for monetary backing to promote their music,
thanks to the advent of technology and the extensive popularity
of the internet.
With
the popularity of the net, promoting music, whether for a band or
individual musicians, has become very easy, especially through sites
like YouTube or various social media sites like MySpace, Facebook,
Twitter etc. These video sharing and social networking sites allow
the individual musician to post and share his or her piece of music
by simply becoming a member of the site. Becoming a member allows
you to promote yourself and gain fans or followers, who will later
be your patrons, at least as far as your music is concerned. However,
the downside of active and instantaneous promotion of your music
has one major drawback-which is piracy. Due to the increased
availability of music online, it is obvious that the incidences
of piracy will increase, which only leads to a decrease in revenue
of the individual musician.
A simple way to curtail abject and outright piracy is to create
your own website and make your music available on your site, while
promoting the site through various social media websites and channels.
Various interactive, user friendly software are available today,
which make it easy to create your own Flash
music MP3 player for your website. Such players allow you to
play your own music online, while restricting the download and
distribution by unwarranted means and methods. Additionally,
it is easy to link your player and the songs to various payment
channels, including credit card, PayPal and the like. Since
various types of music player skins are available with these
software, you can even choose the one that matches the look of your
website.
With the use of music player software, it is possible to restrict
the listening to a sample of your song, making it inevitable but
to buy the entire song, if someone wants to enjoy it. Additionally,
since using these software require no special knowledge regarding
programming or coding on your part, they have become the best companion
for most musicians. ![]() |
