Tools for using MySpace to promote/sell music

LMAOOOO.

Oddly enough, the link you provided, is to my myspace page.
I accidentally started a regular page, instead of a music page.
By the time i figured out i couldnt switch it, I had nearly 200 friends.
I plan on deleting it. but for now ill let it sit incase people actually read that blog and stumble on to my music page.

lol, it's a small world indeed.

Not quite, its to MY page

In other words, its a link to a blog. He thinks its his blog, I think its mine, you think its yours. I just tried it, it goes to my current blog, so everybody who clicks it will be taken to their blog.

...lol, I'm actually relieved to hear that.

Good info about CDbaby getting you CD on Itunes, looks like I'll finally have to set up that account!

Also, just a note about what a great tool myspace is: Me and the artist I produce, King Kan, were at a concert for a major artist and a group of 5 kids none of us had ever met or seen before came up and inquired if he was "King Kan"... It ended with him autographing shirts for them, which was pretty unexpected to say the least. And they had only seen the myspace page!

It definetly is an amazing fan base building tool, if worked correctly.

Myspace has gotten a band I work with pretty much all of their out of town gigs, and has really helped them network on a more local level. Been all over the midwest because of myspace, so the key is to have songs up there that are and sound good (or as good as they can given the circumstances.)
