New MyMusicStream Website Coming Soon

Andrew Drake — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:07:09 +0100

Over the last few months I have been flat out working on a whole new MyMusicStream website. Exciting times are ahead for MyMusicStream members with tons of great new features, a hugely improved members area and better social networking features.

MyMusicStream has been online for almost 5 years and 2010 is looking like it will be a great year for the MyMusicStream community. The new website will be a result of the many years experience, member feedback and current industry trends.

After the launch of the new website there will be many new major features going live over the coming months. By early 2010 the site will be so much fun for music fans, artists and the music industry in general.

The goal for MyMusicStream has always been to be a central hub for online music where you can discover artists, listen to music, read industry news or watch streaming music videos to your heart's content.

The expected launch date for the new site will be towards to end of November.

How To Get More Fans

Ever wondered how some artists have thousands of fans on MyMusicStream? Well it's time for me to offer you some tips on how you can also.

The first thing you should ensure is that you have uploaded your music and some photos. Having a photo is important as it means you can get featured in various places around the site. Also try and upload your music videos, post news, events, etc. The more content you post, the more likely you will get discovered by fans.

Secondly you should try and participate more in the community, which one of the best ways of getting more fans and friends. You can do this by posting comments on tracks, videos, photos, news articles, forums, etc. This will ensure that you are more known to the community and you will find more people discovering your music.

Another excellent method of building your fans is to offer a few free downloads. Every time a member downloads your track they automatically become a fan of your music. Many fans forget to actually click the "Become a Fan" button but if they are downloading your music, they must like your music and are automatically added to your fan list.

MyMusicStream is undergoing a major rebuild at the moment and there will be tons of new social networking features that will improve the online community, and help fans discover your music.

The MyMusicStream website builder has just been update with some major improvements including an artist store where artists can sell directly to fans with zero commissions. Fans can now also register instantly on your official website to post comments, purchase and download music and interact with band members.

Every band needs their home on the web where they can develop fan relationships, grow their fanbase and sell their music directly to fans. While also having profiles on the many social music communities out there it is important for artists to have a professionally designed official website.

MyMusicStream recently launched a band website builder so that independent artists can have a professional website with more features than most major label artists. Your fans will love your professional new website with tons of interactive features, flash music player, flash video player, photos, event calendar and more.
