Selling Music Online

Internet forums are one of the best ways to easily promote your music online, especially if you are already a member of a few of them. In fact, forums can be a surprisingly good way to make money online with music, or anything else. I used a poker forum that I used to post at to find people to sign up for online poker rakeback, and the commission I received (and still receive) from signing those few people up has made me over $1000 to date.

In regards to promoting music, you can use forums to post links to any musical projects you have online, or to a music website you may have set up. Posting links on big forums can not only get you traffic but can also help the page rank of your site, and traffic translates to money when it comes to the internet. If you make a certain type of music, look for forums that focus on that type of music for the best results. It will be easy to promote your music online at related forums.

There are a few things to keep in mind while posting on forums and promoting your music. If you start spamming the sites that you chose you will probably get banned and your posts will be deleted. Try to make relevant replies and then leave your link. You should even make some posts without links so it doesn’t look like you are only there for music promotion purposes. It is a good idea to put a link to your music site in your signature so you can get a link on every post without breaking the rules or looking like a spammer, but also write some links into your posts from time to time becuase when you change your signature the link in there will disappear from any posts it was on.

If you are a member of some music forums or even unrelated forums they can be a great first step to marketing and promoting your music online. Use them well, an forums can actually make you some good money through website traffic or other means. Don’t be afraid of becoming a regular poster at a forum you enjoy becuase it will benefit the promotion and maybe the sales of your music if you are an established personality at a forum. If you havent ever posted on any forums, get out there now and register at some to start promoting your music online and increasing your ability to make money as a musician later on.
