Four Promotional Steps Every
Rapper Needs to Implement
Make Business Friends
The third step is to build professional online
relationships to boost your online presence. You know a lot about rap
music, so comment on it. Look up blogs related to rap music and add
meaningful comments to help others reading the blogs. Most of the time
the comment box asks for your URL, which is a great way to promote your
own website or blog while helping others by posting comments.
Blogger ethics state if one blogger comments or links to another’s site,
the other blogger will comment or link back. This is a great way to
build an online relationship and promote one another’s music. An
additional option, besides just commenting on their blogs, is to help
them out somehow. When you find online rap radio stations to submit your
music to, compile a list and send the list to them. They will in return
promote your music to thank you for your help.
Besides commenting on blogs,
creating a blog can prove very beneficial in online rap and hip-hop
music marketing, too.
Utilize Social Networks
Connect yourself to tons of different social networking sites. YouTube,
Yahoo Video, and Google Video allow you to post different videos onto
the site at no cost, like the Soulja Boy video that was very inexpensive
and still receives views daily. Post all your music videos and add links
to your website to these videos.
MyBlogLog allows users to share different sites and build a community
based on various interests. You can also add your site to your profile
and view who else has your site as their favorite. Although just over a
year old, MyBlogLog is quickly gaining popularity, which presents a
great way establish yourself early in the community. Similarly, Ning
allows you to create a social network for any topic. Joining and
commenting on various rap music networks and creating your own network
for group provides the best methods to get the most out of Ning.
Finally, joining the additional social network sites like LinkedIn,
Facebook and MySpace are all necessary in promoting yourself. Finding
friends and friends of friends can boost you music and be helpful in
additional ways. Network as often as possible both online and offline.
These three simple steps provide a great way to start promoting your
music online. Remember to submit, give away and comment. Online
marketing is a continuous process you must constantly work on, but it
pays off in the end.
