Promoting your music in the web 2.0 era
ReverbNation have taken the lead when it comes to Facebook apps for musicians. Despite the riot of activity that followed Facebook’s opening up to developers, bands were poorly served by the music players that appeared.
I haven’t used the ReverbNation platform extensively – my music’s up there, but I don’t have time to maintain yet another social network profile. Despite this, I’ve heard good things about the site, and I’m pleased to see them taking the initiative in terms of Facebook, which has yet to be fully exploited by unsigned and independent musicians.
Their MyBand app allows artists to upload music and gig listings to their Facebook profile, and share that music with friends. It’s a must for any band members with Facebook profiles. Speaking of which – tomorrow I’ll look at the possibilities of marketing your music on Facebook.

This is a blog about how to promote your music successfully in the new internet-driven era. I used to write for the NME, now I work as a music PR for an online music website, and also make music as Fakesensations.
