Upload your songs to MySpace. The social networking site has millions of users and caters to teens to early 40s. You will find that musicians from indie to major labels have MySpace profiles to promote their music. Create a profile that can include a bio, photos, videos and one of the most important features, a section to upload up to four MP3 song files.
Create a page on the social networking site Facebook. Provide a bio in the information section. Post status updates of band dates or new music. Upload your music. Allow fans to interact with you with their own postings. According to founder Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook has 500 million users across the globe, making it the most popular social networking site.
Post tweets on Twitter. Twitter is another popular social networking site. The site allows you to create information with 140 characters at a time. Use Twitter to post updates of new music and band dates.
Upload your music to a music site. MySpace and Facebook allow musicians to upload music, but there are other sites that are specifically designed to promote music. Sites such as Last.fm, Jamendo and Artist Server allow musicians to upload music, add biographical information, photos and concert dates for fans and new listeners to find.
Create a website. Although many musicians forgo a website for a social networking site, a website still gives a musician a base and a professional image.
