Promotion through the Music Magazines!

In this article we'll discuss the profits of promoting your music through the music magazines and maybe others too. Why not!

Most of these magazines have their own website, where you or anyone else, can subscribe to it. Some asking a fee and others for free.

Basically, there are three sorts of magazines who can be of use too you. Let's name them.

The band-artist promotion magazines!

The music business people should be the guy's who read these magazines to see if there are bands or artists who's fit their style of music.Of course , no one has ever been signed without hearing the music CD first.

But this can be the next step. When you have an ad in one of the music magazines with your URL, then they can go to your website and listen to some samples of your songs.

On the other hand,publishers and A&R (artist& repertoire) executives are receiving already so many demo's with the mail. Why bothering to go to a website and listen to a sample if they have so many( demo CD's) waiting at home?

The on-line or the of-line?

The future shall learn what the best way is.

Although, I see one advantage for you and that's when they reading an article about you or your band .

Next time , when they find your package in the mail. They might treat it with more attention than the other packages. Of course, this is a speculative thought, but sounding reasonable and you never know. Do you?

So, for you the newbie, it will be very hard to convince these good people to write an article about you or about your band.But don't bother 'bout them. There are enough magazines and I'm sure some where there will be one that allow you to get exposure.

I shall give here a few links to pages with links to the magazines.

And, before sending them your package,contact them by phone and try to find out what they're looking for and if your band or yourself can get some reviews or publicity in their magazine.

If you are included into a compilation album,then this should be a good reason to get the attention of the music magazines.Getting included into a compilation album isn't really that hard to achieve.

And, as you maybe have noticed, some promotion's can work together.
