Especially now, with so many professionals looking for content to publish in order to keep their audience\u2019s minds off of the world around them, you are more likely than ever to have your pitch accepted. Cold call, cold email, and direct message these publications on social media with your story and your pitch.<\/p>\r\n<p>The more people and publications you reach out to the more likely you will be to break through the clutter and find someone willing to write or speak about your music.<\/p>\r\n<p>This larger digital marketing strategy should also include a website for yourself or your band as well as profiles on every music platform you can find.

Spotify and SoundCloud are great starts, but there are thousands of other streaming platforms that will allow you to upload your music and create a free profile. Since you can\u2019t go out and perform your new songs at open mics or concerts, you need to find a new way for your audience to hear you making the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/growyoursound.wordpress.com\/music-distribution-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">distribution of your music<\/a>\u00a0extremely important.<\/p>\r\n<p>Similar to the social media strategy, you can not simply post your song and expect the masses to come and find it. You need to distribute your music and then strategically promote it across your other digital profiles. This means posting on social media, promoting through your website, or creating posts on your streaming profiles.<\/p>\r\n<p>You can utilize social media with this step as well by creating music videos and promoting those across IGTV, YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, and any of the other thousand platforms that allow video. Having a video element attached to your music is extremely important today and as long as you have a smartphone you can create something.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IGTV-YouTube-Facebook-Vimeo-social-media-stream.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-promote-your-merch\"><\/span><strong>#4<\/strong> <strong>Promote your merch<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-32899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Promote-your-merch-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Promote-your-merch-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Promote-your-merch-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Promote-your-merch-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Promote-your-merch.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>As with most industries right now, many bands and artists are struggling financially.
