A Band Cannot Live on Facebook Alone...


With all the social media outlets springing, any given young band feels like they’re fighting a war on seemingly infinite fronts. But let’s assume that you’ve taken some good advice and are working hard to keep your social media accounts active, your fans engaged, and your career inching forward. So what have you been forgetting? Have you checked in with mission control lately? In other words, have you been putting similar effort into your own website? It far less needy than your Twitter account but even more important to keep an eye on. You need plenty of impressive visuals to catch the eye but minimal clutter to keep that same from getting restless. You also want to keep your website relevant with blogs, pictures, and up–to-date information and really rub it in the site visitor’s face that your band exists. And just like any other business, you need a strong call to action to create a sense of urgency and really challenge your fans to prove they like your music more than any of their friends.
