How to Self Promote Your Music

Unless you have major label money behind you, the ability to self promote your music is one of the most important skills you can have. When you don't have money to hire PR people to run media campaigns for you, it is up to you to make sure people know about the music you are making. Getting started can be a little overwhelming, however. These steps will help you start out on the right foot, to make sure all of the right people are standing up and taking notice of you.

Here's How:

I love piano music. I consider it very beautiful and initially intended for expression
the finest feelings and lines of human nature. Therefore also I begin reviews with this music.
For a start we will look what are AudioJungle's offers to us in an automatic mode:




Not bad... Seriously, quite not bad. Of corse, there're some things better, some - are worse. But it's my subjective opinion.

Now let's take a look at results of search "piano music" on AudioJungle. At once want to say - all these items are which I like.

Music Job: How to Sell the Music on the Internet

On the Internet there are resources on sale and purchase of music, sound effects, samples, loops and other audio-files. Essence these sites who consists in mediation between those wants to sell the music, and that who wants to buy this music.

Thus they help will meet to buyers and sellers of musical and sound files and to make the transaction on to sale and purchase. These resources are called as Audio-stocks (Stock Audio).
Audio-stocks - platforms of sale of author's music.

The audio-stock assumes all work on search of buyers of your music, and receptions of payments that as much as possible simplifies to the musician existence. The owner of audio-files needs to be registered only in audio-drains and to send there on sale the pieces of music. And its music will be on sale without days off and day and night! Involves that the same musical compositions can be on sale tens and hundreds times without your participation.

In total that from you it is required to create it a musical track, or sound effect, to publish it in an audio-drain, to enter the key words and all! Further, sometimes come and look how many ran money. You ask “what to do in free time?”. That want that and do, can lie on a sofa, and can do the following composition, for increase in earnings.

Many musicians don't understand as there is a process of sale of audio-files, doubt that someone will want to buy them music, they think that it is unreal. Actually it much more simply than to sell music in the real world. To you not it is necessary to look for clients, to pester agencies, to do other unnecessary movements … Only ponder … On audio-drains monthly come million buyers from all over the world! It is a great lot of the people!

Best Internet Music Sites

I think that  there are enough of people on the Internet which like to listen to music online. For this purpose the services MOG, Pandora and Spotufy are the most suitable. Between these services there are enough features and a variety of tunes to satisfy almost everyone.

But which is the best, and for what? Let's take a look.

Pandora is a US-only automated radio and recommendation service. Their service is built around the Music Genome Project, in which any given song is represented by a list of 400 attributes ("genes") of musical characteristics. When a song is presented to a Pandora user, they can indicate whether they like it with a thumbs up or down, and the service takes that into account for future recommendations.
Pandora has Apple and Android app versions, and has two subscription options: free with advertisements and a 40-hour cap, and paid.
Pros: We've found the recommendations system works really well, and have even discovered some new favorite bands that way. The service plays you types of songs you'll like in any genre you want, so it's a good way to explore. The preset radio stations are also worth a look.
Cons: Can't control which songs you listen to, which is a bummer if you really do just want to hear one artist or album and not similar types of music. If you listen to the service every day for a while, songs start to repeat, or recommendations get a little wonky (along the lines of playing Disney radio stars near the end of a hip hop mix).

Spotify is a Europe-only music streaming service with a wide variety of music from major and independent labels. Currently they offer about 13 million tracks, with about 10,000 added each day.
Spotify has free and paid subscription options, and plays through a dedicated player available on every OS as well as Android and Apple phones (with a premium account).
Pros: We have been massively impressed by the sheer amount of music available on this service; Spotify has just about every track you'd ever want to listen to. They also have a really great playlist-making and -sharing setup, which is as easy as copy and pasting a link. Playlists can also be edited by groups of people.
Cons: Obviously being Europe-only (and only Sweden, Spain, Norway, Finland, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom at that) is problematic. This worked for us while we were traveling back and forth between continents a lot, because logging in from a European IP lasts for about two weeks before it checks where you are again. Supposedly they're going to release in the US some time in 2011.
There are some other problems with content restriction from record company licensing, and they've recently announced free users won't be able to listen to as many tracks as before, or as many times.

MOG is a paid subscription and social music service. MOG has no regional restriction as far as we're aware, and because it's paid there are no ads. The music catalogue is 10 million songs so far, and includes full albums. Users can either queue songs and albums, or listen to more from the same or similar artists.
Subscriptions are $5/month for web and Roku channel access, and $10/month for listening through those as well as apps. Users can download songs to the app for offline listening. New users get a 14 day free trial.
Pros: MOG seems to be the best of the Pandora and Spotify worlds; listen to whomever you want and when, and build playlists like Spotify offers, or have slightly-less-accurate-than-Pandora radio-listening options.
Cons: If you're willing to fork out the cash, it's a pretty good deal, but paid still has a hard time standing up to free. Similar artists can be a bit random at times.
