I will start by sharing a story I read from another article. Imagine you won a bonanza that says that you will cart away as many cars you can push into motion. You walk up to a car and begin pushing. You do. You do it hard. It doesn’t go very far because you saw the road is rough and the car may not be the right one for your size, someone else comes up and tells you that other cars actually move easily when you push them. Since you have options, you stop, think and then you move to another car, while someone else, newcomer starts pushing car the car you abandoned. This one was big, but people have said once you push hard, it will run fast, then you to start pushing, you push- and push. Then you remember; automatic-drive cars can’t be pushed easily, so you move on to a different car instead. Meanwhile the other newcomer (let’s call him frank), is still trying to get car number one to move. You get desperate, since you car number three doesn’t look easy after three push attempts you lo...

Diversifying has become one of the most important factors with marketing in music online today. In order to become successful in today's music industry, whether you are a local musician or in an indie band, you have to be able to manage your online presence wisely. One of the first things to consider when you plan your marketing in music strategies are the overwhelming number of musicians or bands that are online and in the same position as you.
