If you a new indie musician, you may be surprised that you can get a lot of fans around the globe simply by utilizing and maximizing the perks offered by the internet. Make creative music videos and put them on YouTube, start a good blog, join all social networking sites. The internet offers numerous opportunities for artists to become known and develop a direct relationship to the fans.<\/span>\n&nbsp;\n<span style=\"color: #003300;\">One addition to the list is <strong>LIVE CHAT<\/strong>. Livechat allows musicians to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Webcast\">webcast<\/a> a video of themselves to their fans. It is pretty much like talking to someone on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skype.com\/\">Skype<\/a>. The fans ask questions through a text-based chat room interface and the band will answer them one by one. This can be done, of course, by the more established musicians. Those that already have enough followers who are thrilled to get to know the musicians more.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color: #003300;\">Many musicians use <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ustream.tv\/\">USTREAM<\/a> <\/strong>for livechat. Unlike previous webcasting technology, Ustream uses a one-to-many model, which means that the user can broadcast to an audience of unlimited size. Its tabs feature a banner prompting users to \u201cClick here to become a fan and RSVP for the next webcast!\u201d\u00a0 and a comment box which fans use to talk to the artists but which also publishes their comments to their feed.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color: #003300;\">Livechat is very effective because it creates a somewhat\u00a0 intimate connection to the fans which will likely increase their &#8216;loyalty&#8217; to the musicians. As we may already know, intimacy is important to maintain a fanbase. So if you want to have\u00a0 more loyal fans, this may be one of the best ways to do it.<\/span>\n_______________________________________________________________________\n<strong>Unified Manufacturing<\/strong>\u00a0is an L.A. -based one-stop-shop that offers very affordable CD\/DVD\/USB replication, custom printing, promotional products, warehousing and fulfillment and many more.
