Facebook: “There’s a New Currency. It’s the Number of People Sharing Your Music…”
January 31st, 2012
The question now is whether this social currency translates into actual currency, ie, the kind you can spend. ”I think there’s a new currency that’s emerging in the music industry, which is how many people have shared a given song or a given artist on Facebook,” said Facebook vice president of Partnerships Dan Rose at Midem on Monday. ”This currency is going to become the new way that people talk whether the music blowing up, and we’re just at the beginning of that now.”

January 31st, 2012

Overwhelmed? by Jerry W. Henry
January 28th, 2012
Where is it written that music artists had to be on every social network? There are a huge number of services, tools and networks designed for musicians on the Internet. They all have their unique merits. Trying to keep each up to date is a monumental task. No wonder so many of you are telling me that you are overwhelmed. It’s not a good place to be. It will affect your career.
The only way these Internet offerings are going to help, is for you to get organized. The DIY approach to your career requires organization. In my opinion your website and email list is priority one. Then comes Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. After you have mastered these four then take on another.
You are right in using online resources to help you engage with your fan base. Your future will be determined by your direct-to-fan marketing. Be smart; know that it’s all about one-on-one fan building. Be creative!
Great music will find its audience. Are you ready for the challenge?
