Dear Songwriters, Composers, Producers, and Artists,

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been disappointed when I hear about a musician who I want to check out, and they only have social media. Most don’t know how to use their socials very well, and even when they do, I don’t find everything I need to know about them.

How much success have you had with your music that can be directly attributable to your social media? Yep, that’s what I thought—practically none.

However, when I Google a musician, and the first thing I see at the top of the page is something like XYZMusician.com, I click and usually learn everything I need to know: What their story is, what their music sounds like, when and where their gigs are, what their videos look like, if they have an EPK, if they sell merch, if they have a Patreon, what their career path looks like, and how to contact him or her. Oh yeah, and links to all of their social media.

Don’t spray and pray…

To me, finding everything I need in one place is what I want—what I need—and that’s what industry executives, potential collaborators, and your fans need too!

Is social media enough? Not even close! It’s a gargantuan firehouse of distractions competing with your chance to engage with the people you want to connect with most.

And speaking of connecting, your own website is also the most effective way to collect email addresses—still the greatest marketing tool there is!

Why you shouldn’t miss this episode…

I’ve asked dozens of musicians why they don’t have websites, and surprisingly, most answer, “I just don’t know where to start and what needs to be on it.”

Problem solved!

Nearly all TAXI members who have websites have built them with Bandzoogle, and they LOVE that company! That’s why I’ve invited Joe Longo from Bandzoogle to join us to give a
comprehensive tutorial on what you can and should have on your site. He’ll do some Q&A after the tutorial, as well.
