The Importance of Advertising and Promotions in Music and Other Artistry

---

Today's Online 'Virtual Landscape' is filled with self-proclaimed philosophers, E-Commerce Sites, Artists making EDM Music and so much more. It's lucrative that Musicians and Actors market themselves in some kind of way. Some professionals see Social Media as a 'pot' of inexperience and model wannabes. But there are ups and downs. It can be a very professional place to advertise albums, art projects and even an actor's reel production. But what else is there? 

People are starting to advertise more using Google Ads and other sites like Waze. People have produced sites like Wallet Hub which generates thousands of views. I myself have accumulated thousands of views here and also especially at my Christian Site: DiscipleforCHRIST.org. So people tend to stay away from Facebook for the 'professional scoop' cause there are so many who don't have the proper education or intelligence to comment so openly on every given topic. People are starting to produce websites and search for other social means online. 

The Artist must explore. After awhile, staying on You Tube and Facebook can be a downer as one probably dreams of mega stardom or at least rising above a pit where so many souls across the world scream to be heard using such mediums. Social media is a great place to market professionally if you purchase ads or post in groups. But adding 'friends' and saying 'hey I got a new album' in front of the same 'non-purchasing souls' probably won't produce a Justin Bieber or a Little Richard if you will. Hillsong, Kirk Franklin, Ariana Grande and many others have learned to go above and beyond and reach out to sites perhaps like JasonBrye.com or Rolling Stones to reach a crowd who'd perhaps take you more seriously than just 'posting updates' on Facebook. Facebook ads work, but there are many amateurs and goof offs producing FB ads as pranks and wise cracks in the midst of the ones who take it seriously and who are professional.

Don't forget to branch out. Reverbnation has had scamming issues in the past. SoundCloud Marketing is hard to get, but we've got options. Google Ads is a great place to advertise albums actually. I myself have ran ads there and others as well. I could help with that. But it's professional and people would take you more seriously, like if you posted your artwork at JasonBrye.com which is a professional organization.

Don't worry. We've got new music Apps in the works it seems. So many are joining the wave of creating music sites. There are a ton of artists out there, spread out. So there is a market. But are people buying or just listening for free? Well with marketing we'd fine out, aye? So let's market more. Let's advertise. Let's sell that music makes us feel good. It's special. People have fallen in love at concerts. People have thanked God for music. People have cried listening to certain songs. People have celebrated and been overjoyed when certain tunes played on the radio. We've got to return back to the moments where melodies captured the heart and spirits in good ways. People smiled more when music was in their ears. Let's market. Let's get out there. Music is still alive. It takes promotion. Let's promote!!!
