And yes, it's that time of the year when we discuss social media. And, yes, people are always discussing social media. But there just happens to be a reason for that: social media is quintessential for any aspiring artist. Everyone knows the drill by now, everyone has Facebook accounts, MySpace profiles and YouTube channels, some praise them as the best ways to get noticed, while others doubt their effectiveness in spreading information to such large groups.
Today is the day of Twitter. If you're already tweeting, congrats, if not, then hurry up and get busy, because it has just been proven that Twitter will sell you more records. A recent marketing study has shown that more Twitter users listen to online radio or watch online videos than non-Twitter net surfers, and, more significantly, the study has also found that, while 23% of non-tweeting music fans bought CD's and 16% bought digital albums, the tweeting ones outrank them with levels of 33 and 34 percent.
It's a risk-free contraption that will help you reel in great benefits and, from now on, one of the big players of the new media. People like to be informed, individualized and given more time, which is exactly what Twitter does and exactly why it will do the trick for musicians. So,remember...keep a wireless laptop next to those musical instruments in your family's garage; your fans have to know you in order to buy you.
