Using The Net To Build Your Buzz In The Hip Hop Business

What was the process decades ago to get famous as a Hip Hop artist? Well, you had to send in your demo to record labels and hope for a contract. If you wanted any recognition at all, you probably had to perform countless shows locally as well. You could have went to the local radio station and hoped to get played if the DJ liked you. Luckily, today holds a completely different Hip Hop industry. There are plenty of different ways to generate a buzz now, and most of them are a lot easier. If you continue reading on in this article, you will find out the best ways to do so!

Creating an online buzz should be the one thing Hip Hop musicians should focus on now. The number one place people listen to new music is the internet. There are thousands of internet radio stations hoping you send in your music for them to play. You can even find hundreds of music-based communities to submit your music to, get reviews, and gain new fans. Getting yourself out in as many outlets as possible is the best way to generate a buzz. The internet is here to help you. It will get your music to millions of outlets, if you have talent and are willing to work for it.

Don't only focus online though. Building a local buzz is just as important. Performing at local concerts and building yourself online is necessary, since you need more than just a local buzz though. So, how do you generate a buzz online? After all, there is a lot more competition online than there is locally. Lucky for you, this article will show you a great way to market your music online. If you aren't using social media sites yet to market your music, you are definitely doing something wrong!

Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook should be your top priorities when it comes to marketing yourself online. Get active on Youtube, instead of just posting all of your music and videos for people to view. Comment on other people's music and collaborate with anyone who you think could help bring you some new fans. Even post music that is free to download. Every new video you put on Youtube should be posting to Facebook and Twitter, so your followers and fans can get it right away. Gain more fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter by staying active on those sites and by posting in Hip Hop forums. You can find plenty of these types of forums by just searching for Hip Hop Forums in Google or Bing.

Some of the newest faces in Hip Hop, like Hopsin, have generated almost all of their fans through the internet. If you want to be the next act to do so, you need to have good music and a willingness to market yourself. Since not everybody is meant to market, especially online, you could always hire an internet marketing agency to market for you, leaving you more time for your music. I'm sure there are plenty out there that will even give you discounts if they like your music. I wish you the best with your music and your career!
