Re: WAYS TO SELL OUR SELVES: ONLINE



GET YOURSELF ON INDEPENDENT MUSICIAN WEBSITES

This takes a while, but it will  increase your web traffic 10-fold and 
generate much interest in your music if you write your profile decently. 
There are hundreds of website services out there that allow you to create 
a 
profile, share some of your MP3s, write a bio, share pictures, etc. I only 
use those that are free. My list is below. Just lick on the URL and go to 
the home page where you can find a link to sign up. Or use my URL and 
backspace to the .com. or domain suffic. As with CD release 
communications, 
I recommend having a bio and all your material ready before hand, that way 
you can visit these sites, sign up, get your stuff uploaded, and get our 
quickly.
