You figured that viral marketing is the shortcut to getting the recognition and fame that your music deserves. With thousands of bands competing for recognition, it is indeed wise to come up with a gimmick or two just to get initial attention.\u00a0 Good music is good music but no one would know about it unless you ram it down their throats&#8212;well, in this case, ears. And the best way to \u2018ram\u2019 it is thru viral marketing techniques.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Without further ado, let me present to you some of the most effective viral marketing techniques\u00a0 bands use:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Viral Music Videos<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yes, we all know how Youtube can make celebrities overnight. OK Go\u2019s music video for \u201cHere it goes again\u201d (2006) is the best example of a viral MV. The video was just shot in one of the band member\u2019s home with 8 treadmills and really cool dance moves. The video itself is compelling enough for people to want to share it with everyone. You can read What Makes OK Go Videos Go Viral Every Time to get some tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The video was so popular, in fact, that it helped shoot the single into both the US and UK Top 40 charts. &#8220;<a title=\"Here It Goes Again\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Here_It_Goes_Again\">Here It Goes Again<\/a>&#8221; also won a <a title=\"Grammy Awards\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grammy_Awards\">Grammy Award<\/a> for &#8220;Best Short-Form Music Video&#8221; in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you want to make viral videos, make sure your concept is exceptionally interesting and unique. You do not have to have expensive equipment- all you need is a good concept and good lighting. People now have even shorter attention span so you better make them interested right away before they label you \u201cjust another indie band trying to make a viral MV\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Viral Flash Games<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yes, a lot of artists have promotional flash games nowadays to promote their music. One example is Lily Allen\u2019s \u201cEscape the Fear\u201d flash game. Unlike other promotional games, this one has great gameplay and has a plot on a par with the typical retro game. In other words, it\u2019s really enjoyable that players will forget it\u2019s just a marketing tool. What makes it effective is that by the time you complete the game, you&#8217;ll have &#8216;The Fear&#8217; looping in your head all day. You\u2019ll also get a free MP3 sampler of the forthcoming album. How rad!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Arcade Games<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, how do you make a flash game become effective in marketing your music? Before anything else, what is viral marketing? According to Seth Godin, Viral marketing is an idea that spreads&#8211;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">and<\/span> an idea that while it is spreading actually helps market your business or cause. \u00a0Oddly, some marketers and bands do not pay attention to the last part. In order for a viral marketing idea to be effective, it has to market you or your business in a tangible, useful way. So if you want to make a viral mini-game to promote your new album, then aside from it being a really fun game to play, it should be clear from the start that you\u2019re promoting your album. You want your promotion to lead to sales. I will reiterate: The game should be quirky, fun, and viral but it should have a clear message and most importantly, translate to sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Viral CD Packaging<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Kanye-West-Nude-Album-Cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5618\" title=\"Kanye-West-Nude-Album-Cover\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Kanye-West-Nude-Album-Cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Kanye-West-Nude-Album-Cover.jpg 445w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Kanye-West-Nude-Album-Cover-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/Kanye-West-Nude-Album-Cover-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve hear about Kanye West\u2019s promotional stunt of his \u201cbanned\u201d CD Packaging. The album artwork for his latest album <em><strong>My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy<\/strong><\/em><strong>has a chimp sitting on a couch with a sex doll.<\/strong>He said that Wal-Mart banned his album art so he made 5 album art versions. He made such a big deal out of it that it became a buzz a month before his album\u2019s official release. Well, you do not have to go that far because, first of all, only Kanye can pull that off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another example is this viral CD packaging of Vampire weekend. It is a Polaroid photo of an unknown woman wearing a white polo t-shirt-simple as that. It became viral because they post it everywhere and people start to wonder who the woman is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/vampireweek452.jpg\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5619\" title=\"vampireweek452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/vampireweek452.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/vampireweek452.jpg 452w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/vampireweek452-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And another example is Mayhem\u2019s Dawn of the Black Hearts (1995) album cover (ha! I just go on and on when it comes to CD packaging. I wonder why!).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DawnOfTheBlackHearts.jpg\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5620\" title=\"DawnOfTheBlackHearts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DawnOfTheBlackHearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"349\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DawnOfTheBlackHearts.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DawnOfTheBlackHearts-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is the creepiest album artwork I have seen because the man\/corpse in this picture is the band\u2019s vocalist, Per Yngve Ohlin aka Dead who committed suicide (RIP).

You really are the gods of viral marketing!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you cannot afford an iPad, then you can simply give away MP3s or your band merchandise. The fans would love to receive any freebie from you.
