Why every band needs an online presence!

 

Here is why every band needs an online presence.

Are you a musician or a rock band?

If the answer is yes, here is why your rock, pop, grunge or metal band needs an online website or social media account.

Having a website and social media is something you can’t afford to ignore, especially when your competitors are also likely to have an online presence, and if they don’t, they soon will.

One Direction and the Foo Fighters have an online presence, so why shouldn’t you?

The reason is that fans can keep up-to-date with all their favourite band’s updates and gossip.

However, there’s no point in having an online presence if you aren’t using your website and social media accounts correctly. To do this, you are better off hiring a professional to update your profiles.

Don’t you have time to update your band’s social media and website?

This is why digital marketing experts can help because we do this every day. Yes, that’s right, even when many of us are sleeping and enjoying evenings, weekends and holidays.                  

How many successful musicians have become famous due to the power of the world’s second most popular social media site, YouTube?

Justin Bieber was also discovered on YouTube, and now he’s one of the most famous male singers in the world. The talent manager Scooter Braun came across Bieber’s videos and arranged a meeting with Usher Raymond, and Bieber then signed a recording contract and started his career.

Your band is a business.

You should think of your band as a business, even if you aren’t yet earning money from it. You can always sell merchandise or copies of your latest EP, Hoodies or T-shirts on your website.

These items are guaranteed to bring in some pennies.

Do you want to earn money?

If you are a group who wants to make money, we have experience in booking events. Digital Classic can help you get paid gigs in pubs, weddings, funerals or festivals, and we won’t charge you until you start making money from this.

More publicity equals more gigs.

Would you like to appear on the front cover of NME? Digital Classic can make this happen and help you appear in other online and offline newspapers and magazines, leading to more social media coverage and ultimately more traffic to the band’s website, which will appear higher on Google.

The more website traffic and external links, the higher your domain authority, ranking higher in the SERPS. More publicity mains, more gigs.

Get noticed by record labels and influencers.

You will be surprised by the number of social media followers we receive asking us to submit music to websites run by professional record labels and influencers in the music business.

A place where your fan base can communicate with you

Social networking is an excellent hub for connecting bands with their audience. After all, they are free, and where would you be without fans? They go to your gigs, pay for merchandise and tickets, listen to your music and help promote you.
