4 Special Ways To Get Your Music Heard By More People

For the past 2 weeks, I have been participating in The Challenge. It’s an online training program that has been taking place every year since 2005 and is aimed at helping people build successful online businesses.

I decided to apply the teachings to music, since I believe it can help musicians learn how to better target potential fans and get their music heard by more people. For more information on The Music Challenge, read my introduction post to the series.

So for those following The Challenge and the ones interested in its application, I am happy to share 4 ideas on how to apply the teachings to your Music Business Plan.

1. Become An Expert In Your Micro Niche

You could start a site and populate it with articles optimized for your theme/category keywords showing your expertise in the subject. From there, you could then forward a generous amount of traffic to your artist website. But what I would do, for even better results, is have them engage with your music right on the spot, so they don’t have to click away.

2. Offer A Service Related To Your Expertise

If you’ve found a micro niche related to music that you’re already an expert on, you could create a site that offers additional services to help other musicians and fans out. The goal here is to create additional streams of income while socializing with potential new members of your skill/opportunity networks (more traffic due to word of mouth → increased revenue).

3. Do What You’re Good At: Entertain The Crowd

Alternatively, you could add content related to your micro niche to your artist website that is both humorous and entertaining to your audience. If executed correctly, you will have fans come back regularly to check out the newest article/post/image or whatever you decide to publish. If they’re already on your website checking you out, why not offer them easy ways to interact with your music? Also, who says only fans will visit something as entertaining as your newest music related joke/picture/story?

4. Use Your Mailing List

If you have a mailing list, use it to drive traffic back to your artist website. Lure the subscribers in with awesomely written content or a humorous sketch related to your micro niche. Let them know there is more on your website and make sure that once they’re there, it is easy for them to interact with your music. For those who don’t have a list, consider one right away.

How Would You Get The Word Out?
