As far as music promotion goes, obviously the most effective means of distributing your music is going to be in its digital form. However, it can sometimes get discouraging when so many people are simply downloading their music for free all of the time. The thing is that there are always going to e people who do this, so just try not to let it influence any marketing strategy you may have. It isn't the easiest task in the world to get your digital music distributed, but it surely won't be impossible as long as you are using the best promotional methods and your actual product is something that people will want to hear.
So what is it about your music that is going to inspire people to want to buy it? Of course it is going to be important that your music is something that people are going to enjoy listening to, but the truth is that isn't always enough. It has to be so good that people feel like they can't possibly pass up the chance to download it. In addition to that, it has to be good enough that people are going to want to share it with others to see if they feel the same way about it.
So in other words, unless you have an actual product that is going to invoke a reaction in people, you are going to have a very hard time selling it no matter what method of music promotion you use. Maybe you have different albums with slightly different sounds to them. In this case you want to create a thorough presentation of all of your music, because someone may not be impressed by the style of one album yet they may totally love a different one.
If you present enough listening options to people they will be more likely to find something that they want to hear more of. All it takes is for someone to download a couple of your songs, and then there will be a snowball effect where they will continue to want to download more and more of your music.
Just as with many other things, pay attention to quality over quantity. No one is going to be impressed or inspired by poor quality tracks, and this will most likely turn them off from listening to anything else. Besides, you won't convince anyone to spend their hard earned money on a track that doesn't even sound good.
Generate interest in your product through social media websites like Facebook. It's free, and it works. It can also be very helpful to make relationships with other bands or musicians so that you could attempt to tap into their audience as well. As long as the music that you make is worth listening to, people will start catching on. Keep your focus in the right place, which is the production of high quality music. This is the true key to success. Without a quality product, any effort you put toward music promotion is going to be a waste of your time.
