As many of us know, there is a massive internet interest for Independent Music as the current "main stream" market becomes more and more confined to this "popular" line of business.
Many of the World Wide Independent Labels, and up and coming bands, are being hammered by the more "lucrative" interests ....................... UNTIL NOW!!
The internet is a great medium for up and coming bands, offering both World Wide exposure and the chance to advertise to markets more focused to their particular genre. The costs of exposure has also dramatically fallen, in line with inexpensive internet access and the onset of Broadband.
How does an Independent Band/Artist gain exposure?
There are so many different mediums found on the Internet, from Music Forums, to Music Stores, bulk emailing, etc. Yet, there is a brand new advertising plan hitting the World Wide Web today and it WORKS!!!
I am speaking of the new Pixel Ad sites with interest growing at rapid speed!
What are Pixel Ads?
Recently, you may have heard of the newly created, famous MillionDollarHomePage which made a young man US $1,000,000 in less than 4 months!!
So... how did he do this?
Simple - he produced a site which offered ads from a small size, to fairly large. The ads consisted of small pictures on his site (10,000 squares in total) with links to the advertisers website, which attracted great interest from advertisers. The beauty in this type of promotion is in the makeup of the site.
Pixel Sites are very, very search engine friendly, with literally thousand of links to external sites (which search engines love to embrace!). This has a knock-on effect as more traffic is attracted to the site, due to high search engine rankings. These sites are very inexpensive and offer guaranteed ads for up to 5 years!!!
How can this help Independent Music Bands/Artists?
The answer all boils down to the focus of a specialized site which attracts the most unique, preferred traffic and advertisements from the many different genres of Independent Music.
An ad for a few dollars, and exposure to the World Wide Web? This is definitely one of the most effective new ways of advertising today and certainly the best way for you to get noticed.
An extremely effective concept, indeed!!
