Myspace Promotion

Myspace is used by millions of people worldwide, and is a free, fast and efficient way for artists to market their music. On the artists homepage, they can upload tracks, which can be listened to, downloaded or added to other users myspace page. They can also include information about their band/self, such as who they are, their genre and information about gigs they are playing.

The website is one of the most popular ways for artists to market themselves, and has been used by such artists as Lilly Allen and the Arctic Monkeys, although some fans set up their own page, dedicated to artists.

Myspace is such a popular marketting method, due to it being easy to use. Viewers, searching for a band/artist, can go to the music homepage and then search by genre, location or name. According to one music promoter, 'myspace is more personal than official websites', as the artist is updating their myspace page themselves.
