101 ways to market your music on the web

If you’ve been search­ing for an updated guide to mar­ket your band and music on the Inter­net (one that actu­ally per­tains to 2010…not 2002!), then you need to pick up a copy of 101 Ways To Mar­ket Your Music On The Web.

Authored by lead­ing UK music pro­moter Simon Adams, this book is brim­ming with use­ful music Inter­net resources to ener­gize your music career and get the noto­ri­ety you right­fully deserve.

So yeah, you could say that I may be a bit par­tial to the book, since I was men­tioned in it (page 85 for the curi­ous!), but on a seri­ous note, I’m very selec­tive when it comes to rec­om­mend­ing music indus­try books. I’ve read a ton of music biz books through the years. Some are highly rel­e­vant, while oth­ers are non­sen­si­cal and generic.

What I like about this book is its applic­a­bil­ity. Each sec­tion — whether it be press, social net­work­ing, fan man­age­ment, sync and film, per­for­mance or radio air­play – has rec­om­mended web­sites that are not just rel­e­vant to the United States, but also in other global mar­kets as well. For instance, Adams gives use­ful tips on how to gain momen­tum in the Japan­ese music mar­ket; the sec­ond largest in the world, after the United States.

More than just a direc­tory, each sec­tion includes detailed infor­ma­tion regard­ing each web­site, its func­tion­al­ity and how to effec­tively use each site to build and expand an effec­tive online pres­ence, mul­ti­ply­ing your oppor­tu­ni­ties through syn­er­gis­tic exposure.

Adams also includes the com­men­tary of other artists and music biz experts includ­ing COO/Founder Jed Carl­son of Reverbnation.com, About.com’s music host Heather McDon­ald, up and com­ing artist Santa Leja (this girl’s got it going on!), pop­u­lar Cana­dian indie band Crush Luther and yours truly, Hugh Hes­sion of Makingitinmusic.net.
