    Blogs and Social Networks Rearrange Your MySpace Music List

    Rearrange Your MySpace Music List


    With all of the new and exciting changes and “tweaks” going on over at MySpace, I wanted to touch on the reordering or rearranging of your coolie, the music playlist :) Since the widget at Project Playlist has been basically “shut down” and not allowed at MySpace, the use of the actual MySpace music player has emerged as the front runner for music expression even among listeners. Musicians had been using the MySpace music widget predominately but a large percentage of listeners were using the Project Playlist widget instead. (A brilliant music site by the way :)


    But, let’s discover how to reorder your music selections on MySpace playlists :)


    mymusic1

    Ok, if I wanted to change up this playlist, I would right click the song (just about where the red arrow is located) hold it for a second while dragging it in the order I wanted it to show up.


    mymusic2


    I just changed up the order of the last two songs from the Crash Test Dummies (great band :) in my playlist …


    mymusic3

    Log into MySpace, click on Music, then click on My Music, My Public Playlists, My Profile Playlist. This is how you will get to the screen you see above :) Reorder the music by dragging and dropping, add songs you find by browsing by clicking the plus signs, a drop down for lists choice will come, if you want it on your sites playlist, choose “My Profile Playlist”.


    mymusic4

    Browse the featured playlists for some quick popular song choices :)

    Focus Focus Focus Blogs and Social Networks

    Focus Focus Focus Blogs and Social Networks


    We often hear the word “focus” in the same context as blogging instruction but what does it really mean and who does it really mean it for?


    Focus in the blogging platform or social networking world refers to shooting toward reaching your “target” audience. Who would you like to visit your social networks and read your blog sites? What demographic? Now, why would the blogs and social networks person care who came to visit? Marketing to be precise.


    If a blogger is marketing a particular product, they would then care very much who came to see their sites. For example) If your product was a health and wellness sort of “Vitamin” product, then a “Get Healthy or “Stay Healthy” sort of blog would hit the nail on the head to some degree. What if the product is “Vitamin D”? Then focus would get you to a site much more focused on bone health instead of overall health.


    Who else would want to focus their sites? If you aren’t marketing a product but would like to gain a high rating with Google, become an expert, or just have a very popular site full of specific information, then focus is for you :)


    Do Stevie and Stephanie at Blogs and Social Networks focus? I can’t say that we do actually :) Encompassing the entire subject of Blogs and Social Networks (and not that we even come close to hitting every site) is not really a very focused, specific topic. To hold true to many blogging platforms, we have many blogs specifically geared towards Blogs and Social Networks and are members of multiple social networks. It is rather a broad subject area but holds a great example of what it means to go smaller from it and more focused.


    Blogs and Social Networks …


    Social Networks That Have Blog Capability …


    MySpace and Facebook …


    Or You could go from Blogs and Social Networks …


    to Blogs about Social Networks …


    then onto blogs about MySpace and Facebook …


    or to be less focused, blogs about the major social networks.


    Recall why we focus again, to appeal to a group who will more likely be interested in our topics, information, and offers.


    Sometimes focus is not important. A very wide spectrum blog works quite well and attracts visitors.

    The blog remains on a subject, but a very wide subject much like Blogs and Social Networks or Video Games and Gaming. Again, with Video Games and Gaming, this can become much more focused a topic …


    Video Games and Gaming …


    Console Games …


    Wii Games …


    Wii Fit Games …


    Or you can choose to create sub sections (or pages) of your blog (or create a wiki at wetpaint) to house focused topics like this but name your blog a wider topic name.


    Once the understanding of why a blogger is told to focus comes into … well … errr … “focus” … then it becomes clear whether or not you actually should decide to look into it all or not. Are you trying to reach a “target” audience? or do you just want to be sure that your writings are helping whoever searches that info out?


    With searches, keywords really take the drivers seat here. How do visitors actually find what you have? Think about your tags, labels and keywords (all one in the same, with just a different name at different blog site platforms) What will those ask who wish to find your answers? How you label and categorize your posts matters greatly to the seeker of your posts. If you have a post on How To Make Ice Cream, then your top keywords probably should be: Ice Cream, Ice Cream How To, How To Make Ice Cream, Frozen Desserts, and Dessert Recipes. Then add your name or alias (Stephanie Haile aka Wavecritter) (author title) as another keyword, you could use the blog platform as another if you wished (ie: WordPress, Blog Talk Radio, Blogger) and then peruse through your post for a few select keyword phrases running together in the text and standing out. Use these as well (In this post it would be “Blogging instruction” blogging Platform” or Social Networking”). There you go, you just greatly assisted your visitors in arriving at your information :)


    However much you really wish to focus on your blogs and social networks in this manner is entirely up to you … do remember that every person is unique, every blog is unique, and every social network is unique and that each has it’s own attractions for a reason … they are all different :) Cookie cutter is not generally the way to go to become different, although you could begin with the design and “color” or “decorate” it however you like :)


    With a very focused blog site, focused right from the creation date on , you will need to think about where to actually get the word out or “effectively market” this site. Groups (first and foremost) in the social networking communities are the number one best places to market an on topic blog. Probably placing a link on a Gardening blog in a group on fishing is not going to be your first choice group :) But, possible the people at the fishing group are also interested in gardening as well and it may do some good :) Seek out the gardening groups to introduce your gardening blog to first though :)

    Your keywords will be the “behind the scenes” marking engine for you while you manually market your site to and through other Blogs and Social Networks sites. Getting backlinks is quite easy. Log into your blog platform (ie: WordPress, Blogspot, Vox, Livejournal …) then browse through other blog sites on the same platform, either on your topic or on another, comment on their posts as you view some sites. Each comment you leave (while logged in) will send a link back to your site via the “icon” or username info left on the comment :) Nope, you don’t really need to “rely” on friends to actually list you on their blogroll.


    Use your blog URL as part of every bio, info, or profile area on all of your social networks and think about securing a clever domain name for your blog site :) I chose BlogsAndSocialNetworks.info , .com , , .org , and .net for our main blog platforms (Wetpaint, WordPress, Blog Talk Radio, and Blogspot). One is fine, there is no need to get all (info, com, net, etc) this way when you redirect the domain to your blog URL, it is now a much easier name to remember. BlogsAndSocialNetworks.com is easier (I hope lol) than Wavecritter.WordPress.com for instance.


    These are some good tips, we will be writing some more soon. Stay tuned for Blogs And Social Networks

    Blogs and Social Networks Music Sites for Bands 2

    Blogs and Social Networks Music Sites for Bands




    Marketing the Band, Artist, or Musician, Rock Star, Group, Photographer, Singer or Songwriter online with Blogs and Social Networks will take time, patience, and perseverance ... a little bit each day, one step at a time :)

    Depending on your budget of time and money, you can market your band 100% free (more time spent) or 50% free (financially more, a bit less time spent) ( fast tracking the blog platform (around 10 dollars or less a month I think) at a site like HostGator.com. They will "host" your Wordpress blog so that advertising will not be misconstrued as "spam" :)

    Secure the domains (Your Band Name.com) from a site like GoDaddy.com all if you wish or just dot com (for your "main" site, the one you want most people to go to), dot info (for your blog), and dot net (for a big social network you choose) redirect these to the url from the blog, social network, or other site of yours.:)And check into getting the Trademark at USPTO.Gov/Main/Trademarks.htm
    to "set your online security for your logo, name, etc. as yours :)

    Starting your own Ning or Wetpaint social network at Ning.com or Wetpaint.com is an on-going project (a slow and go OR a fast action, get it up and running in a week sort of project, but not crazy important if you do not have the time because these sites take a Lot of time :)

    Connecting Twitter to your Facebook (no, you cannot have a Facebook for your band, but you can have a Facebook profile for yourself, then start a "Group" for your band :) Keep your reach connected for a triple dose to Google :)

    Ok, here are some of the coolest social networks geared toward Bands more than listeners (well, some listeners more, but I will let you know which is which :)

    Let's start with HumbleVoice.com :) Humble Voice is a social network community of Artists and those who appreciate them. Yes, I said Artists (photographers, writers, singers, bands, fine arts, dance, painters, sketch artists, you name it :) This is an all inclusive artsy social network for the creative! Very cool site ... Two High Thumbs Up :)

    PureVolume.com is a music social network to definitely check out if you are a band or musical talent to use to promote your sound.

    MySpace.com (of course :) The number one Music Social Network for Bands!

    indabamusic.com This is a social network for musicians and music professionals. Take a tour right from the home page even before you sign up for free. (Oh...All these social networks listed are a free sign up deal :) This site allows for musicians to work in online recording sessions mixing tracks anywhere in the World. Find Musicians, Get Hired, or Create Virtual Bands :) Mix and edit audio in browser with online music software and compete in online remix and collaboration contests :) Yes, this one sounds like a keeper, check it out!

    LastFM.com being what it is, don't miss out setting up a profile here :) Last FM is a Staple, it has it's limits as all social networks do, but a definite music social network for bands to investigate and set up a profile at :)

    FloTones.com is an artist or separate fan set up site, meaning you can sign up as either an artist or a fan (most music social networks offer this as an option, but this one is cool) Submit your indie content with a lengthy list of genre categories :)

    iLike.com is semi-similar to ProjectPlaylist.com in being geared heavily toward the listener :) ProjectPlaylist has an embeddable widget player to take with you to your other blogs and social networks too :)

    JamNow.com in Beta is Rockin' Looking :) You will need Mac, Vista or XP; DSL or Cable Modem; Sound Card or Digital Audio Interface to get up and running here. Register free as an artist or a fan. This one looks like a keeper as well :)

    R4Media.biz is a free sign up "Your Social Network and Music Store". Sell/Buy Music, Upload Tracks, R4Media gives you a personal URL (many social networks do, but worth saying to keep you consistent, meaning MySpace.com/Wavecritter, I use wavecritter everywhere, you should always use your band name or the other major keyword or URL Domain name) to be consistent.

    MusiciansFriend.com is not a music social network but the best in my book for online musician supplies :)\

    MusoCity.com is an online community for musicians and artists and those who love them :)

    imeem.com where artists, fans, and friends promote content and discover and share music. This site has an embeddable widget player to take with you to your other blogs and social networks too :)

    Blogs and Social Networks Music Sites for Bands

    wavecritter-last-fm

    Music related blogs and social networks are not hard to find, but to locate tips on marketing for the independent artist, solo musician, or advice to create an unforgettable band profile takes more research. Musicians wanting to market themselves using the Internet with blogs and social networks only need to follow some timely suggestion accompanied by a routine. This advice will be for the “newer” artist or band, but if you need more exposure for your music group, then these steps are for you as well.


    First and foremost … this will take some dedication, patience,  time, and consistent work … yes, I said the “W” word  but, if the time you spend is spent wisely, you will see results much faster. To reach the “masses” and gain exposure you will need to first focus on getting your name ranked on the search engines.


    Sit and decide (if you aren’t 100% on what image and style you want to portray) what flare and style you want to relate to your band. Without a bit of your own color “popping out” you will possibly get “washed out” on the Internet. With the amount of competition you have on the net, you will need to become the image you present to your fans and set the image to encompass exactly what your band breathes out creatively.


    Choose first your color scheme and a logo. If someone you know or a member of the band is inventive, maybe they would design a basic logo for you that you could then build off of later or add to to evolve a signature for your sound. Take this logo and include it in banners, graphics, and buttons of several sizes to place on blog sites, social networks, and other web pages.


    Now that you have your image, color scheme, and logo, you will need to choose one major photo and up to two others to represent your group. Include the major photo into a few of your banners or graphics.


    Purchase the domain names (GoDaddy.com) to match the band name and look into securing the trademark (USPTO.Gov/main/trademarks.htm) for your band name. Purchase the dot com, dot info, and dot net domain names for certain and possibly some others. These will be forwarded to your blog site, a social network that houses you music clips, some personal band information, and your events. List All of your events, even if they seem small or insignificant to you like a friends birthday party. These can be called “private” events, “invitation only”, and meant to seem exclusive.


    You major blog site should also be podcasting enabled like Blog Talk Radio or Podbean or choose Vox, Blogspot, or a WordPress blog. All of these sites are able to house podcasting widgets from Utterli, Blog Talk Radio, or any HTML based blog widget to house your sound so visitors to your blog can listen in. Setting up an additional “all in one” blog style site at FreeWebs may become more time consuming than you had anticipated, but this is a wise choice if you have a few members of your band that pitch in and help.


    These sites will become your blogging base. Giving similar information on each site but adding a personal snippet of information new to each site will help keep them individual and fresh. Try including a different tune at each separate site with links back to each from all sites.


    Depending on your marketing resources and budget, you can do this totally free but with more time spent or fifty percent free with a little less time invested. Fast tracking a blog platform through a paid site like Host Gator using a WordPress blog will allow a bit more leverage with advertising. Using a free to create blog platform, you will need to temper your “personal advertising” greatly. Keeping the self serving links down to a minimum until you your blog site becomes established in the ratings.

    Choosing the social networks to promote your music is next on the list in your market me adventure. MySpace is the music social network that you should start with, being certain to set your MySpace URL and display name to your band name, the same as your domain names that you purchased. This will get that search term set in stone. Choosing four more search terms to add to this one will be your next step and use them all in your blog posts, social networks text, and other site information. Be sure to ask yourself what music lovers will ask when searching for your style of music, this will help you discover your major keywords.


    The key to massive exposure is not taking a handful of salt and flinging it over a great area, but to take that salt and spread it liberally over a few key areas with concentrated flavor, focus, and consistency. Working your sites with concentration like a pattern will attract excited passionate fans who then spread the word for you.


    Is eight to ten sites really concentrated? It may sound to you like the half the Internet and an extreme amount of time, but with your two to three blog style sites and your four to five social networks, all linked together, with similar but separate information on them, all using the same major keywords and added different minor ones, your exposure will grow exponentially.


    There are those who begin a social network of their own for the band at sites like Wetpaint or Ning. This is very time consuming and unless you have a specific band member to take this lone task on, wait on this idea and opt for starting a group at MySpace and one at Facebook for your band. No, Facebook does not allow for a “band” profile, but you can have a personal Facebook page and start a “My Band” group to promote your band at Facebook. With the excitement and growth over at this social network, you would be missing the boat without a group here. Even starting a group at one of the Ning social networks that is music oriented is a great idea.


    Connect your Twitter to Facebook and MyBlogLog to all of your blogs and social networks keeping your reach connected for a triple dose to Google and other search engines.


    Staying consistent with your time spent and your keyword usage is as easy as figuring out a budget. Decide how much time you have to work on the Internet, then divide your time equally between each of your sites. Choose your music social networks by doing a quick Google search or take a look at a few of these:

    IndabaMusic; Last FM; iLike; JamNow; FlowTones; MusoCity; PureVolume; HumbleVoice; imeem; and R4Media. 

    Connect yourself with all of your sites by linking back on individual posts, bulletins, and link lists, stay consistent with your activity, make as many contacts and friends as you can, and enjoy your success.
