Twitter is a valuable tool for publicising free netlabel and/or Creative Commons albums. For example, @bradsucks has two albums out on Jamendo and has enjoyed nearly 40,000 downloads, and over 7,000 people have downloaded “Oh My” by @seanfournier. I even use it myself to announce new reviews of free albums at the net’s most amateurish blog about free music, Catching The Waves, which you’ll find at @catchingthewave – end of plug!

Twitter is an amazing social and business tool. People are JUST beginning to realize the huge power of social media marketing to connect with each other and to build their businesses. The folks that really understand how powerful (and profitable) social marketing is, are building new social networking platforms all over the world. One of the most recent is My Music Ticket whose platform will serve musicians from all over the globe, as well as anyone else that wants to use the platform for socializing and business building. It will be interesting to see how quickly they will build their user base.

[...] an interesting story about one band that managed to get its music 3,000 downloads from Twitter. It took a listen, and while, I’m not crazy about the music, I think it’s awesome that [...]

I am amazed at how people are realizing the power of twitter… thanks to DK for this awareness of this article. I checked out some software called hummingbird that allows fellow twits to get to the top of the follower food chain. It does not appear to be available for macs though.. still waiting on response. Check out…

This is just a great example of people who are using social media as a tool to market themselves. This is something that we all can achieve in our own niches in one way or another. I’ve done it myself, not on this level, but nonetheless it works. Not only for people who have even minor notoriety, but those who are obscure as well. I’m eager to see what happens now, the ball is rolling, how many will hop on for the ride? What do you guys think?

…but not all 3,000 people would have paid for the download, some would have walked away. The new music business is not about selling records, it’s often about giving it away and monetising in other areas.

Once again, Twitter rises to the occasion. This is another excellent use of the service that provides measurable results. This technique combine what Moe Arora did last year (http://tinyurl.com/6d6abp) can generate a lot of awareness using Twitter.
