Before you start promoting your music to industry professionals (agents, managers, labels, etc.) there's a few things you need to make sure if you have in order first.
- Have a website.
- Can I listen to your music somewhere other than MySpace? (Bandcamp, Soundcloud, etc.)
- Can I download free samples of your music?
- Make sure you have a Blog and have recent posts.
- Optimize your Facebook Page and have a music player installed on it (and make sure you're actually engaging with fans on FB regularly too).
- Be active on Twitter.
- Do you have video performance clips on YouTube?
You might only have one chance at connecting with an industry insider, make sure all of your ducks are in a row before you reach out to them! If your presentation is anything less than professional, they'll probably just walk away and ignore you.
