Fucking magnets! How do they work?
Some tips:
- Submit your music to stations that take solicited unsigned material - I know there are a couple on XM / Sirius as well as the Music Choice stations with your cable provider.
- Make a video (doesn't have to be big budget) and get it on YouTube and Vimeo.
- Record some YouTube videos of live performances and some behind-the-scenes of the band recording or just screwing around.
- Get yourself on Last.fm and link up your tunes on Blip.fm
- Consider joining Pump Audio
- Get your music on iTunes, CDBaby, EMusic, Rhapsody, etc (go through CDBABY)
- Do things that create a two-way relationship with your fans - meet ups, contests, etc.
- Join Twitter and tweet about shows, band announcements, interact with others in the twitterverse... but don't over tweet.
- Offer some free downloads of your music
- Create banners / badges that fans can download and put on their site that link back to yours
- Register a domain name for your band. Even if you don't have a proper website yet, forward your domain name to your FB page so people can easily find you online.
- Get a proper website
- Make a crazy video that goes viral and draws tons of attention to your band - in a good way... good luck with this one.
- Make friends and link up with bigger bands / artists that will expose you to their larger fan bases.
- There's more, but I'm tired of typing and you can figure out the rest.
Clearly, you've never heard of Tyler Ward.
I don't think you are doing any mistake you should not think like that.Promotion through social networking site is a best way.
I have the same problem, currently I only have some records on soundcloud and I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't have the means to make a youtube video. Unless I can use just a static image and sound but this seems kind of lame :/
