Welcome to Social Network Music!
Social Networking has exploded in the online world with over 350 million users on Facebook alone! While Facebook has emerged as the biggest, there are also many, many other social networks including MySpace, Bebo, LinkedIn, Friendster, Quepasa, Hi5 and thousands of smaller niche social networks on the Ning social networking platform.
Social Networks are spreading across the globe at an astounding rate. Within the span of a few years, social networking has become an important facet of modern communications. And it shows no signs of stopping. The ability to follow, check in and invite friends and fans to share pictures, video and messages is a powerful new phenomenon. There has never been an easier way to keep in touch with so many potential fans in such an organized fashion until now.
For musicians and bands, social networks have emerged as a mission critical marketing channel to reach their audience. Having a profile on MySpace and Facebook is no longer a nice to have….it is definitely a MUST HAVE. Understanding how to blog, text, set up profiles, upload video, create podcasts and tweet are just a few of the many important social networking skills needed in the online music marketing world.
How has this phenomenon occurred so quickly? While the record labels were asleep at the wheel, the internet has evolved from a simple way to display content into a highly interactive medium. As social networks have emerged, the audience has embraced the medium…BIG TIME.
The combination of understanding how to navigate, set up profiles, upload pictures and video has coincided with the development of the underlying infrastructure to support the sophisticated web applications and tools available. And now social network platforms are proliferating online.
