Looking Into The Future of Internet Marketing

In the old days, when a new artist wantedto promote their masterpiece, they sent their demo tape to the major music companies or radio stations, but nowadays the approach has changed. 

If you pay close attention to the music industry, you might realise that some of the big hits or popular musician were originated from the Net, particularly MySpace the social Networking site.

Don Newton, the President and Founder of the Independent Internet Musician’s Association has this to say:

Online music promotion, while still in it’s infancy, is becoming a force to be reckoned with by not only the major record companies, but other online artist.  The vast possibilities that exist for creating a buzz, and establishing a fan base for your music are endless.

There has actually never been a better time to get started in online music promotion than right now. And the fact that so many established artists are currently using this means as their primary marketing and distribution system only lends weight to the argument.

When you consider that a major recording artist has to sell somewhere around 3 million CDs just to break even, and an independent label can sell about 10,000 and the artist makes just as much, well, the choice really isn’t that much of a choice anymore now is it?

Add to all this the newest thing, digital downloads, and you have a brand new market ready to explode for the independent artist out there who has enough get up and go to take a crack at it.

The future is yours independent musician. Let’s make the most of it.
