Networking For Music

There are a variety of ways to build networks in order to establish a fan base for your music.  One of the most effective ways available now is web rings.

Web Ring sites can expose your music to people that are looking for new artists to support.

These types of sites are virtual communities for people who have a lot of things in common. There is a music community which you can join under the genre that you perform and introduce yourself, your music and even have meaningful conversations with fans.

Webring.org has a great site that you can join for free. It links other like minded musicians and fans to your web ring and even your web-site! Your web-site will get maximum exposure and the web-ring sends out newsletters on new sites and will even feature a web-site and bring you new fans.

Yahoo has a group concept but you have to have an email to join the Yahoo discussion groups but it’s worth it. The discussion groups exchange information about music and even technical information for the musician. Fans weigh in on what they are looking for as far as an innovative sound and provide feedback on your music and the music of others.

Web-ring sites can provide that musical exposure that you’ve been looking for at no cost and most of them are really good for building street teams for you or your band!
