Thanks for this article!

I co-manage a band who are just starting up, and one of our plans for fulfilling our online promotions is to get a large number of people on the ‘online promotions’ team on a part-time basis. This way, we are hoping that we will be everywhere. Of course we are still generating material to present online, but we’ve planned the tasks for the online promotions team to get stuck in with once we’ve mastered more demos. It isn’t so much the case of securing a record contract for our band – we just want to play good music live, to a crowd that will appreciate our sound and originality.

One thing we’re learning is that this kind of thing can’t just be done by 1 person on a part-time basis; it almost requires a team of at least 3 committed people doing it on a full-time basis – and not the band members, as they should be concentrating on making music. Like you said, there’s power in numbers – and that also applies to the team that will be generating the numbers in our following!

Thank-you for the information. I agree on most of the points you mentioned. I have always believed in the power of the internet.

Kind regards,
Ajit
