Hey Sexy People!It's week 4 of the Music Success In Nine Weeks blogging contest held by Ariel Publicity Cyber PR. In this chapter, it's all Web 2.0, or social. You need to be where your fans are. So, of course, we have to maintain our connections with our fans via several communities - and be active in each. Or, as Ariel says, it's like watering our garden of Rock Sexiness.
Ariel gives her essential list of the most popular social tools to be on, and also really finding the communities that work for your genre. There's no need for us hanging out in the GOP forums. Although... that may garner some good material...
It took about 6 months of consistency to build up to where we are now. Our MySpace page was the primary point of interaction, then we joined the other communities as we were able to manage each one. We began with Twitter and Facebook, then added Afro-Punk and our Blog (you're here). It's a lot of trial and error before we found the right mix.
The two things that really worked for us was joining the Podsafe Music Network and commenting on blogs. The first got our song "Vampires In The Sun" on Dancing Mattress Productions's podcast. The second was simply being a part of the Afro-Punk community, we landed an interview on Sierra's I Write. You Should Read. blog. This was a direct result of following MSi9W - thanks y'all!
The only place we're not on yet is Flickr. However, we shooting new photos next week, so we'll start then...
Rock Hard! Rock Sexy!
