Indie music promotion has no limits when it comes to creative ways of promoting a band. I'm sure by now that you have tried many different strategies and continue to use techniques that are working for you. In this article I will cover an often overlooked but extremely effective tool that you should start using today for your indie music promotion. I am talking about the autoresponder, which is also known as a mailing list but has built in features to make promoting much easier.
Search online for an autoresponder service. Some are free but I find that the paid services are much better and are worth every penny for what you can get from them. The monthly costs are low and it makes your email list much easier to use during your promotion efforts.
Now that you have an autoresponder lets go over how to use it. Generate a web form and install the html or javascript into your website, blog, and band promotion sites. Potential fans will have an opportunity to sign up to your list when they are browsing over your site. It is very important to give something away for free in exchange for their name and email. This gives the customer an incentive to sign up. I suggest you give away a free download of one of your songs. This is a great form of indie music promotion as more people will become familiar with your music and you will have email addresses to post updates about your band.
Now that you have a list of fans that continues to grow a couple of great things are happening. One, you are gaining more fans of your music, and two you have access to every one of them. With your autoreponder you can set up emails to be released on future dates. You can set up immediate broadcasts of your messages that can also be connected to all of your social networking accounts. You write one email and it will be sent out to thousands of people. As your fan base grows you wouldn't be able to keep up with sending emails individually.
