2. Social Media
for Music

3. Right now their is a social media
resource for just about anything or
anybody, but lets focus on social
media for music in particular. Its not
a new concept, but the different
ways that social media sites go about
it is very interesting. The most
interesting part is that their is
definitely a lot of room for
innovation.

On MySpace
MySpace is attempting to re-
innovate themselves with
investments from people like Justin
Timberlake, but in most people’s
opinion the ship has sailed, and a
company that was thought to be the
future of social media was hit by the
wave called Facebook, washed
ashore and buried undersea.

5. MySpace for music was a great way
for bands to share a few songs, tour
dates, messages, and artwork to
potential and already established
fans. The only problem was that the
conversation was really a one way
street.

6. Although their was a wall for fans to
post comments, it seemed that it
was so flooded with content that
flowed in all directions that it was
largely ignored by both artists and
fans alike.

7. Social Media for Music |
On Facebook
There are thousands of social media
for music pages on Facebook that
you can easily click on in your
sidebar of your profile to become a
quick fan. Your friends will be
notified social media for music pages
that you rock out to when they see
the artists in their sidebar and click
on the link.

8. I’m sure that you’re fans of a lot of
these pages, but as the case with
MySpace forums, I feel that the
pages really go largely unread and
ignored. It is almost like a badge
that you wear, without much
interaction with the actual page.

9. However, its marketability for bands and
record labels is not a bad investment,
seeing that the social media for music
page is free and your audience is
worldwide, endless really. Its very easy
for hardcore fans to check your page for
tour updates, links to videos, and other
interesting stuff regarding your band’s
music.

10. Social Media for Music |
On Twitter
As of right now, I’d say that if I had to
choose one source for social media
for music, it would be Twitter hands
down. Following an artist on Twitter
gives you an insider’s view of a
musician’s life on the road and some
of these pages are just damn
entertaining.

11. I like social media for music on
Twitter because believe it or not, a
lot of these artists comment on fans
posts. When the post’s contain an @
with the artist’s name, you’d be
surprised how many artists post little
replies to the comments.

12. Social Media for Music |
On Yelp
Perhaps the latest social media for
music game player would be
Yelp. Already famous for user
reviews, you would think that Yelp
would be the most innovative player
in the social media for music
world, but it seems that they may fall
into similar styles with other
competitors.

13. Social Media for Music |
Bottom Line
The bottom line for social media for
music is that the game is getting
repetitive, its largely a one way
conversation, and overtly ignored. So
its time for you to put your innovative
caps on and fix the leaks.
