Hello folks! The following is a reposting of a thread in the "music promotion" forum by Brooksy, which I thought users coming to this forum might also find interesting:

1/ SIGNATURE: Place a link to your music on Unsigned Band Web in you signature
which can be added by going into your profile through the big red
tool bar above. This gives people easy access to your page and
saves time re-typing it out.

2/ REVIEWS: Ask for reviews often. Not only will you gain valuable feedback your
music, you will also get people listening in and possibly returning
time after time, spreading the word to others.

3/ PROMOTION: May seem obvious, but a lot of people don't do it, then wonder
why they don't get the hits. Promote yourself once for each
track, then once a month for the whole page. Only do this in
the promo thread, do not cross-post across the board.

4/ RE-DIRECTION: If you have a website with limited space you can do one of two
things. Link, from the menu bar to your page if you do not
have a Premium Artist page, or deep-link from your site.

5/ WORD: If you're apart of any other forums/OMD's then add a link to a track
or your artist page to your signature, making your plays here increase
even more.

The important thing to remember is that Management Firms and labels do visit and, if you have it enabled, will see how many people listen/download your music. The more listens/downloads, the more likely they are to take an interest.

And, if you can sign up for Premium Status and get artist rotation on the homepage, increasing your exposure.

Good luck.
