    Blogging

    Sign in to disable this ad
    Hey guys, quick question. I just made a Tumblr, but so far I haven't seen where it's a useful tool for me to establish myself as a producer or spread word about my music. I was just wondering, is there a general guideline that musicians follow when making their blogs? I have no idea how to even get a follower at the moment.

    Thanks so much in advance, guys.

    Blogging is a great way to share your ideas, experiences, music and other content. However, you'll need to update is often and consistently in order to gain the attention of readers. The first step to gaining blog followers is to share the stuff people want to read about. Remember, those who are interested in your thoughts on particular subject matters will want to learn about you. Choose your blog topics carefully and become active in the tumblr community. A blog is best used for gaining readers and converting them into customers. Keep in mind that you'll get more results from a blog if it's placed on your own web server. IMO, you can gain traffic to your site by using the tools I blog about. You'll also want to learn SEO and SMO strategies.

    I agree with producer JC, you should start a blog on your own server. I've made a full step-by-step guide on how to make a blog that will make you an authority in the eyes of anyone that comes to your blog.

    Focus on creating useful information, not changing traffic to sales. A great way to start is by documenting your pursuit on your blog. People will respect the honesty, hold yourself accountable to your blog as if there were thousands of readers a day expecting you to continue growth. Once you have enough readers, then focus on monetizing. Making your blog "cool" is an asset that cannot be bought, so keep it no-strings-attached until you have a loyal fanbase.

    People are dying for this kind of information. Look for other people that have blogs on the same topic as you and collaborate with them.

    Well I'm glad you guys let me know, and I have something new to write about in the future.

    I was testing a plugin that was recommended to me called WP-Stats for wordpress, apparently it can cause issues with the visibility of your website to some people. I'll definitely tell my readers to steer clear.

    Site is back up

    Blog commenting is a sort of internet marketing which is done for the advertisement of blogs. First there comes domain name and then step by step process comes. Usually, it is done to get the popularity of the site.
